Description

When one door closes … second chances open another …

Ethan was lost after a major accident abruptly shifted him from a military life to a civilian one, from working with dogs to odd jobs … In that time, he’d spent months healing from his physical injuries. When he connects with Badger and the rest of his Titanium Corp. group of former SEALs, Badger offers Ethan an opportunity he can’t refuse. A chance to do the work he used to do … with a twist.

Cinnamon works from home as a project manager plus is heavily involved in global dog rescues—dogs of all kinds. When Ethan walks into the next door’s vet’s office with an injured shepherd in his arms, she sees another lost soul—just like the canine ones she helps.

Ethan knows he’s about to take a dangerous step, but he’s on the job, and no one—on the job or not—hurts animals while he’s around. This poor shepherd has taken enough abuse, and Ethan fears she is only the tip of a nightmare he’s determined to uncover. But he knows she’s going to lead him in the right direction. 
He has his sights set on saving one dog in particular, Sentry: K9 File 01.

    No continuity. I realize dogs were involved but they took up a big chunk of the story. Characters were not fully developed.

    I honestly don’t know what to say but I’m soooo happy with this book. It was a great romance but it wasn’t overdone with all the extra stuff. I highly recommend this book!!!

    It almost rated a four, but then I read the Epilogue. By definition, an epilogue is a continuation of the story. It puts a fine point on and clears up loose ends and lets the reader know how the story turns out. THIS epilogue had nothing to do with the story it was connected to. No, instead it was an introduction to the next book in the series. There wasn’t even a mention of the main characters from the previous story. You know what that means? It means it wasn’t an epilogue. I was all ready to read that last little bit...have my happy sigh, and close out the book. Instead, I was left ripped off and tricked, and disappointed. Please don’t do that to your readers. Give them what you “advertise”.

    This is a great read for those that love animals and especially working dogs. The romance development was nicely intertwined with the the story of searching for a retired military dog. If you’re looking for spicy sex scenes, they weren’t needed to tell the story and, personally, I appreciated their absence. In my opinion, if you’re looking for a book that pulls you in quickly, shows love for dogs, and has a romantic element, I highly recommend this book.

    Wonderful book. Enjoyed the vet/dog relationship and the need to both recover from the issues caused by starting over in a new, yet familiar, world. Looking forward to reading the others in the series.

    Great book! I’ve loved everything I’ve read by Ms. Mayer. She never disappoints. I especially love the addition of dogs. My favorite awards show is Hero Dogs. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!!!

    Love the idea of a military working dog story, it’s a great topic to explore the relationship between the handlers, soldiers, and the expertly trained dogs that serve. That said, this story is a little flat. Personally, I don’t think you can name a main character “Cinnamon” and then have no one ever question the name. It’s a dang rare name. Cinn is an unremarkable character whose family, friends, job, history, thoughts, dreams, etc. are never present. She has dogs, she talks about rescuing dogs, and she runs with her dogs. That’s it. 3/4 of the way through the book we find out she’s a redhead. No other character development. The military/retired soldier angle doesn’t get a lot of depth, either. The dog whisperer parts are the best parts of the book, TBH. Ethan has some excellent scenes caring for and bonding with badly treated attack dogs, all of whom had their own emotional journeys to trusting again. There was more suspense in “will this abused dog accept a new master?” than “will these main characters survive the drug war full of interchangeable bad dudes they are in the middle of?” The story has good bones, it just isn’t satisfying for me.
