Contemporary Romance
From Goodreads:
When
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?
I think anyone would love Bogart (Prince)
from the beginning of the story. I
am not so sure about James Cannon.
He came across as cruel at
the beginning of the book. Shay
did not steal his dog. In fact she
rescued Prince (Bogart) and James did not give her any credit. However as the story progresses he does
redeem himself with his actions.
While James has to work to become a
good character Shay is great from the very start. She is so much stronger than she looks. Life has given her some very hard knocks
and she has not let them keep her down.
After a rough start James is smart enough to recognize that Shay is a
special woman, one he wants to get to know much better.
The plot two features two very
different dangers to Shay and I was kept guessing until the end. James and Bogart ride to the rescue on
one and Shay takes care of the other.
All in all Irresistible Force is a very satisfactory story.
ST. Martin’s Paperbacks published
Irresistible Force by D.D. Ayres in 2014.
I received a free copy of
Irresistible Force from Netgalley in return for an honest review.
