**This review might be considered spoilerish because I'm going to mention who the bad guy is. He was identified at the end of book #3 so this shouldn't actually be a spoiler but be warned**

This was a great story. I really liked both Daisy and Chris and their story was great and was hard to put down.

Daisy is an agoraphobic woman that can't leave her house. Daisy saw her mother killed in front of her at the age of 16 and since then, for the last 8 years, she's only had her father and Chris for company. Chris has been her best friend and she has interest in more with him but doesn't think he feels the same or would even want someone that can't leave their house without freaking out.

Chris is a deputy with the local police department and has been for a little over 8 years. Chris was the first responder at the robbery in which Daisy's mother was killed and he's always felt like it was his fault. He's had an interest in Daisy for a while but he blamed himself for her mother's death and always thought she must as well and wouldn't want anything more than friendship with him.

Daisy's father works in construction and although he comes home occasionally, he seems to spend most time on jobs out of town. TBH, I didn't like him that much...he seemed selfish and like he'd prefer to avoid Daisy rather than (begrudgingly) being there for her. Other than her father, Daisy only really sees Chris. Daisy gets bored at times and tends to watch the neighborhood outside of her window to see if anything interesting is going on. One night when Daisy can't sleep, she sees a police SUV parked at an empty house across the street and wonders what is going on. She sees someone carrying a tarp-wrapped bundle out of the house and putting it into the SUV and doesn't know what to think. When a boot falls out of the end of the tarp, Daisy is sure it's a body and takes a video on her phone. Unfortunately, it's very dark out and the person can't be identified on the video. Daisy doesn't know what to do so she decides to show Chris in the morning.

At the end of book #3, the killer that's been causing problems in the previous books is IDed as the Sheriff, Rob. Because of this, when Chris goes to Rob with what Daisy saw, Rob shuts it down. Rob also tries to use his position to make Daisy seem delusional and like she's just trying to seek attention by making reports that aren't true. He even makes it difficult for her to get help by having the police dispatch send any calls from her directly to him instead of responding directly. I think having the bad guy be a person in power really made the story more gripping and a bit more stressful because everyone trusts him. Daisy gets the idea that Rob doesn't like her and she's unsure about him but even then, she doesn't even begin to suspect how bad he is! I was constantly wondering what Rob (and his accomplice) had planned for Daisy and it made it difficult to put down the book. When I went to sleep, I dreamed about the story and woke up thinking about it and anxious to start reading it again to see what would happen next.

While Daisy is dealing with the repercussions of seeing what she shouldn't have seen, Chris actually brings Lou, Rory and Ellie (and their significant others) into things and they all become friends with Daisy. Daisy gets pulled into the murder-solving club that Lou and Callum started when Willard Grey was murdered and they start putting together pieces of who could be responsible for the killings and the arsons taking place around their tiny town. Meanwhile, Rob and his accomplice go about finding ways to reduce the danger Daisy poses to them, which gives Chris and Daisy a lot of problems to get through. Thankfully, even with everything that is going on, Daisy and Chris finally make their connection and start the relationship they've both been wanting for a while. After some major drama and danger, the bad guys are caught (finally) and Daisy and Chris get their well deserved HEA together.

I really enjoyed this story a lot...it was very gripping. I really liked Daisy and liked how she handled her situation and all. Chris was a really good hero and I was happy that he finally got a clue and went after Daisy. This was a great story and wrapped up the overlying series storyline very well. I really had a hard time putting it down and would definitely recommend it (but it might be a bit confusing if you haven't read the previous books in the series first). :D

* note - I listened to the audio version of this story and the narrator did a very good job.

In Safe Hands Search and Rescue Katie Ruggle 0760789255366 Books Reviews

I couldn't stop reading to find out what would happen next! The action, twists, and turns pulled me into this book and I didn't want it to end.
Daisy hasn't left her house in eight years, since her mom was killed. Chris is her best friend and visits her often.
Her anxiety keeps her up at night and when she's looking out her window, she witnesses something shady. The more answers are found, the more questions arise. Daisy and Chris were great together. So many other great characters, too. I loved what Ian did in the hallway.
Each story in the Search and Rescue series just got better and better! Katie Rugle did an amazing job writing Chris and Daisy's story.

After witnessing the murder of her mom when Daisy was 16, she was unable to leave the safety of her own home. Chris is a deputy on the police force, and just happens to be the one that killed the shooter that killed Daisy's mom. Chris is also the only link to the outside world and the only friend Daisy has. Although both of them have feelings for each other, neither of them feel that they are are deserving of being more than just friends. When Daisy witnesses a suspicious activity at the empty home for sale across the street, she has no idea that she just may be a killers next target.

Will Daisy's love for Chris give her the strength to be able to leave her home? In Safe Hands is full of suspense, emotion and romance, but if you haven't read the previous stories first, I highly recommend you do as this story is the conclusion to a murder and more that began in the first book.
It took me a year to finish reading this book because I wasn't thrilled by the premise. I'm glad I finally did, but this isn't Ms. Ruggle's best effort.

Daisy has been trapped in her house ever since her mother was shot. Daisy is deeply agoraphobic and never leaves her home. She passes the time by working out, looking out her bedroom window, and selling things her father picks up on eBay. She sleeps very little and one night she sees a figure carrying what looks like a body wrapped in a tarp over to a squad car. At one point a boot falls out and the figure picks it up and puts it in the squad. Daisy tries to record it with her phone, but it's too dark and the picture is very difficult to make out.

She tells her long time friend, Chris, about it when he visits. Chris is a cop and they have been friends forever. He is her link to the outside world. Her father theoretically lives with her, but he makes sure he's never home. Chris tells his boss, the sheriff, about what Daisy saw, but surprisingly the sheriff shuts him down.

Meanwhile, Daisy's world is expanding. Through Chris she meets the couples from the other books. They meet in her home gym and Chris trains them. As the women become more friendly, they start getting together and working on the mystery the series is about.

I liked Daisy and Ms. Ruggle made an effort to show Daisy taking baby steps to overcome her disability, which was nice. Chris is the epitome of a nice guy, which is just my type. Lou appeared a few times in this book and was, as always, very funny.

Ms. Ruggle's writing is very good, particularly her dialog. Her characters ask sensible questions and don't do dumb things.
Daisy not only comes back from the trauma that closes her off from the world, but saves Chris who then saves her. When we first meet Daisy, we see her as messed up and wonder what kind of life she will have, especially knowing that Chris really likes/loves her. I felt as though her dad was ashamed of her and or embarrassed and was not very supportive. I wondered why Chris would even want to be with someone who refuses to ever leave her home, but we find out just how mentally strong Daisy really is. We all have issues to overcome,and sometimes it takes a lot more than someone lighting a fire under our arse to motivate us, but hey, as long as it happens... It's all good!
