UNLEASHED by Rachel Lacey

I read this series out of order, but I did not get confused.  Each book can be read on its own, but to better understand the story, you should read all the books.

Cara Medlen cannot believe her home owners association. They want her to get rid of her dogs, and to never bring a new one home.  This is a very difficult thing to do, since she is one of the few foster homes for Triangle Boxer Rescue.  Which her best friend Mary had founded.

None of the dogs she takes in are hers to keep, but she falls in love with them all and cry happy tears when they go to loving families. 

The reason for not keeping any of the animals for herself is that Cara has a ten year goal in mind, and in her focus to reach that goal, Cara decided not to get attached to anything or anyone.

Her plans take a nose dive when she finally met her sexy (totally smoking hot, if you ask me) next door neighbor, who she has been eyeing for the past year, but did nothing about it.

Matt Dumont always noticed his next door neighbor but they never seem to find a way to introduce themselves to each other.  Every time they saw each other, it was as if she was avoiding him.  He appeased himself by looking at her play with her dogs in her back yard.

On the faithful day that they met, he saw the dogs fighting in the back yard, and that made him very suspicious.  Since he moved in, he have seen her bring in different dogs all the time, and seeing the dogs fight made him think that she was into illegal dog fights.

As a private investigator, he's seen his fair share of crime and marched himself over to finally meet the gorgeous next door neighbor.  The sexual tension was noticeable when they kept there distance, but when face to face, the attraction sizzles and sparks between the two.

Too bad that Matt is leaving town and Cara still has two years until her goal is reached.  Would Matt stay in town and pursue Cara?  Would Cara forget about her ten year plan and pursue Matt?  Would Matt ever solve his current case?  Find out in the first installment of the Love to Rescue Series, Unleashed.

+Rachel Lacey wrote an amazing story that made me cry.  I don't know what it was about this book but I cried at various parts of the book and they are mostly due to the dogs and one heartbreaking kid.  I'll leave it up to you to find those parts of the book.

Cara was very careful in this story.  Ten years is what her doctor gave to her and she kept her life on hold for eight with two more to go. Unfortunately for her plan, Matt and two wonderful, amazing dogs made her have to change her plans.  Which if you think about it, was not so bad.

Matt has some serious trust issues.  If you can't trust your own brother, who have never let you down (there is no evidence in this book that he did) then, yes, he has trust issues.  Evidence that supports this is when he got all fatherly at Cara for saving two dogs, "illegally".

It became even more prominent with this new client he took in. I mean seriously, a wife hires you to spy on her "cheating" husband, but you find nothing for weeks! I say something is wrong with the client in question.  Every time he went after the husband I was shouting at him (out loud, quite loudly. And yes, my family did look at me weirdly) that he should double back and spy on the wife.  It's good when I'm right.

I love what Cara does for dogs and cats as well, occasionally, and I really wished that she lived her life to the fullest instead of barely having one at all.  The death of her friend really got to her, and I thank Matt for being there for her, and her two dogs.

This story was inspiring and mind opening.  Makes me feel like going out and adopt a shelter animal.  I know I cannot do with Mara and her friend does, my heart would break over and over and leave me an empty shell. (big fat drops of tears rolling down my face).


HAPPY READING!

GETTING BETTER

Sorry for not updating for a while.  I have been sick for the past week and the glare from my computer screen made my eyes and head hurt more than it did, so I banned myself from my computer until I was better. It has not completely left me yet, but I am getting better and the computer screen no longer hurt my eyes.  The only thing is that I am backed up with all of my reviews.  I read a lot when I was sick, seemed like the only thing I could do.  I did not even have the energy to go to school for the first week. I'm getting better now and look forward for my new reviews and I might post more than one this week.

BED OF ROSES (Book two in the Brides Quarlet) By Nora Roberts

I love flowers but not as much as Miss Emmaline Grant, she lives for them.  Emma is part owner of Vows, which is in the wedding business and Emma's part is with the flowers.  The bouquet, the table center piece, once it involves flowers, Emma does it and does it with a fairy tale quality. Growing up with a love story like her parents, Emma's head constantly romanticizes everything.  She keep looking for Mr Right and she found him in Jack. Jack Cooke is a enjoy them now and leave them before they get to close kind of guy.  His mindset encourages him into not wanting or needing a relationship knowing that they never last and people get hurt. With Emma, there was no holding back and he was constantly hesitating when she says or does something that he thinks violates his space. He constantly hurts Emma unintentionally and Emma feels as if she has to frequently hold back her feelings so as not to scare Jack off. Shit hit the fan when she couldn't take ho...
