I was a little hesitant to read this because the first two books in this series are among my favorite books. So I was happy to find that the story fit in with the first two but also held its own. Every Now and Then is about Alex Brady, a police officer in California that gave up dreams of being in the FDNY after his father died in the Twin Towers. He has locked the world out, trying to get bad guys off the streets before they can hurt people and leave other families with the pain he felt as a teenager. So his world consists of his K9 partner Bo and doing the best he can at his job. Sergeant Clay Michaels is Alex's supervisor and invites him over to dinner regularly, and Alex accepts every invitation so he won't lose touch with the emotion that drives him to succeed. Alex finds a lot more when Clay and Jamie decide to show him what life can be like when you know where your meaning comes from.
