18779673When adrenaline runs high, so does the force of desire…

For Shay Appleton, it’s love at first sight when a gorgeous stray dog is brought into the animal shelter where she works. She just knows he’ll make a terrific watch dog—and with an abusive ex who won’t let go, she needs all the protection she can get. But Shay never suspected that her new pet is actually a trained police K-9 named Bogart—until Bogart’s even more gorgeous, human partner shows up on her doorstep.

Officer James Cannon is one tall, strong alpha male who’s convinced that Shay stole his dog. But once he gets closer to the suspect, he realizes that this stubborn, independent woman not only needs a guard dog, she needs James as well. It seems that someone from her past is stalking her, and threatening her life. When danger meets desire, will James risk his career and his best friend…to protect the woman who’s stolen his heart?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

Shay Appleton loves her dog, “Prince”, unfortunately Prince is really Bogart, a police K-9 who belongs to James Cannon. James finds Bogart and accuses Shay of stealing him, now if only she wasn’t so earnest and so attractive to James.

Shay has had hit after hit in her life, the newest being a crazy ex and no one believing her, so when she has to give up Bogart, but James sticks around, she’s pretty enamored with the first man to really believe in her.

James is really attracted to Shay, he likes her spunk and her attitude, and his K-9 partner is definitely head over tails in love with her too.

This story had lots of conflict, some great K-9 moments that enhanced the story, and lots of James being a swoon worthy hero. There were also some great scenes where Shay takes back her own life, she finally stands up for what she wants, and what’s best for her, and I loved that we got to see her being so strong.

I really look forward to more books in this series, I can only imagine the fun stories revolving around more K-9 teams that are set to come. I highly recommend this story, it is sexy, romantic and with enough humor to keep the pages turning.
