Description from the publisher:

She needs answers.  He’s the only one who can help.  Will the truth save or destroy them?

Abby Donovan never expected to be saddled with post-traumatic stress, but an assault changed her life forever.  Now she struggles to find the balance between work and her personal life.  Although her therapy dog Shadow makes for a trustworthy companion, she’s never felt so alone.

Ben Foster lives every day with the unyielding guilt of a moment he can never take back.  As a firefighter, he compensates by throwing himself entirely into his career, no matter how risky the call.  When a woman starts asking about an old arson case, it’s his heart that’s on the line.

The deeper Abby and Ben dig into the past, the more they seek to move beyond it.  When they uncover grave secrets, can they find a way to undo the damage, or will betrayal destroy the spark growing between them?

Find out if Shadow can help his humans learn that there are two sides to every story even when the past threatens to predict the future.  This sweet, suspenseful story about forgiveness even when all else seems lost is sure to tug at your heartstrings…

AIDING ABBY is the tenth book in the multi-author Gold Coast Retrievers series.  Each is a stand-alone contemporary romance story with the addition of doggy love.



Abby and Ben must follow a wonderfully winding path to one another.  They are both locked in battles with different forms of PTSD.  Hers causes phobias, panic attacks, and trust issues.  His causes a brashness at work that is endangering himself and his teammates. 



I loved Shadow, Abby’s dog.  As always, these amazing service dogs steal my heart with their loyalty and service.  Shadow’s service includes recognizing panic attacks as well as physical dangers.



The suspense and mystery drew me in from the beginning.  I was glued to my kindle.  In fact, I read this book in one sitting!  This is the first book I have read from Kim Koby, but I would love to read more.



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
