PRIMAL FORCE
Lauray "Law" Batisse is a Military Police veteran who was wounded in Afghanistan. Haunted by the loss of his K-9 partner in combat, heβs reluctant to accept a service dog named Samantha into his life. But once he meets her trainerβthe gorgeous Jori Garrisonβhe canβt fight his primal instincts. And neither can Jori. This sexy alpha male might be the only man strong enough to unleash her desires. And when unseen enemies start hunting them down, he and his new K-9 partner might be her only hopeβ¦ to survive.
DD. Ayres is a new author for me. Based on the synopsis of this book, I expected a slightly fast paced story with lots of intrigue and some sexy time with a hot alpha guy. Thatβs not really what the book deliveredβ¦
What the book did deliver; a well written and fun story with two great main characters and an interesting supporting cast. There is lots of romantic/sexual tension and some great sexy time. There is intrigue and a conspiracy, but nothing too dramatic.
Our main characters are Jori, a (wrongfully convicted) ex-con turned dog trainer and Law, a military and police K-9 officer who was wounded overseas several years ago. When we meet them Law is in a horrible place and really comes across as a jerk. Jori is on the right track of getting her life together. They fight their attraction to each other while Law is getting his new service dog before finally being together for a one-afternoon stand.
The story that follows is entertaining. It is fun to watch Law coming back to life as he returns to his job and canβt stop thinking about Jori. It was telling for me that he requested she be the one to do his in home evaluation even after telling her they were done. He claimed it was because he was looking into her case, but was it really?
The author does a great job of showing us Jori and Lawβs developing, if somewhat unusual, relationship and weaving a story if corruption and cover ups that impact Joriβs history. One of my favorite part of the book was the character of Sam, Lawβs service dog. Not only do we see her in action, but we also get to be in her head.
Even though Primal Force wasnβt exactly what I expected, it was a book I definitely enjoyed and look forward to reading more from this author and this series.
