Irresistible Forces by D.D. Ayres

Shay Appleton couldn't be happier with the dog she rescued. Especially because he helps keep her ex away. But when a police officer shows up claiming that her dog is in fact named Bogart and is his partner, she can't believe it. Especially because Bogart is protection against both her ex and the past that is coming to haunt her. James just can't resist the woman who saved his partner and is strangely drawn to her. But when Shay's past catches up to her, can Bogart and he keep her safe? Find the official description on Goodreads.

Irresistible Forces starts out with a curious scene. One that raises questions for readers. But one that is also a way for readers to connect with the character of James. It's clear he cares for his K-9 partner and that's just sweet. Especially when we get to see the two interact. It's clear that they have a bond and it's great to read those scenes where James is interacting with Bogart. It's amusing as well. But again, helps readers feel like James is more flesh and blood than a character written by a writer.

Shay just made me ask a lot of questions. I was curious as to her past, especially because she was leery of going to the police. When you do find out about her past you realize that Shay is much stronger than you previously thought and it's amazing that she hasn't turned into someone who's a hermit or bitter. Instead she tries to live her life as normally as she can.

I loved the interactions between characters as well as Bogart. They could be humorous, they could be serious but they always felt as if it was important in some way. They kept the reader engaged and it was great to see.

I loved reading Irresistible Forces and you won't go wrong if you pick it up. Irresistible Forces is the first book in the K-9 Rescue series and is set to be released on August 26th, 2014. Think you'll pick it up?
