Crack CIA analyst Trista Gold is a whiz with the computer, but not so much with people. She hides behind her job, analyzing Top Secret code and making recommendations on national security. She doesn’t need a man in her life. But she will, very soon…
CIA K-9 officer Sgt. Matt Connors suspects that beneath Trista’s uptight appearance, there’s a sexy woman itching to cut loose. But he doesn’t dare act on his attraction. He’s a loner and always will be. Keeping away from Trista is a must-do directive. Until he doesn’t have a choice…
During a routine assignment, Trista stumbles across a cryptic exchange. She doesn’t think much of it…until someone tries to murder her—twice. Both times, Matt had been there to save her. But now she has to hide. And her new bodyguard, Matt, and his K-9 are the only hope she has against the powerful forces that want her dead.

Summary
Lock ‘N’ Load by Tee O’Fallon is a romantic suspense with a K9. I thoroughly enjoyed the relationship and the mystery. My only disappointment with the book was the excessive profanity.
Trista is a super smart character and still smart enough to know when she is in over her head. She works for the CIA and finds some dangerous information which sends someone intent on killing her.
Matt is a CIA K9 officer. Their first meeting was adorable. He has a traumatic past that he has not dealt with that causes issues in their relationship. How Tee reveals it bit by bit was very well done. I had made some assumptions so when we find out what really happened I was surprised. I cannot imagine dealing with the guilt that he has and would be just as much of a wreck as he is.
Matt has some friends in visiting while working a presidential event. It was super fun getting to meet each of them and I am thrilled that Nick gets his own story that will be out soon.
I am one of those readers that love it when the title of the book comes together. This one did that very well. Icing on the cake is the beautiful cover.
Sexual content – at least two physical scene.
Violence – someone is trying to kill her and the opening scene is domestic abuse.
Language – if I could change one thing about this book it would be the language. Excessive use of the f word, and other profanity.
alcohol - Matt does not drink, however some of his buddies do. Gwen drinks scotch.
