Talon by Ronie Kendig [3.5 stars]

Talon by Ronie Kendig
From back cover:
Her brother is missing. And her only chance of finding him lies with a combat dog that has lost his edge.

All air force veteran Aspen Courtland wants is her brother back.
The US marine corps says he's dead, but Aspen won't believe it till she sees his body. Her only hope is her brother's tracking dog, Talon, but a brutal attack has left the dog afraid of his own shadow.

The truth is something Military Intelligence Operative Dane Markoski has never faced. But now it's the only thing-along with Talon's help-that can save him. But working with Talon means teaming up with Aspen as well, and Dane swore he'd never work with a woman.

Eventually they join forces to battle the elements and extremists. But if Talon can't rise up to his former glory for one last mission, the only outcome for all three will be game over.

While I enjoyed the book, I just haven't liked this series as much as I liked the Discarded Heroes series. The story was good, although I got a little confused at times with the plot, flashbacks, and character's names and nicknames.
My only real complaint was I couldn't stand Timbrel! I know she's the main character in the next book, (and I'm not really looking forward to that.) and I know she'll have some sort of backstory that will give you some insight into why she acts the way she does in this book, but she came across as incredibly arrogant and annoying!

I will definitely read the next book, although I am anxiously awaiting the release of Ronie Kendig's next series, The Quiet Professionals!!!
