ARC REVIEW Avoiding the Badge by Dorothy F. Shaw


Avoiding the Badge (Arizona K9 #1)Arizona K9 #1, First time reading Dorothy F. Shaw so I didn't quite know what to expect, I did expect more of the dog though, with the series name having K9 in it you would think the dog would be in it more, nope he stayed home most of the time and was more background than anything. That was the first disappointment with this book. The second disappointment was how predictable it was, as soon as you find out their hangups you know exactly what's going to happen. Admittedly you get that a lot with romance but the author at least makes it an enjoyable story, with great characters, unfortunately you don't get that with this one. It was just an okay story with ehhh characters. It wasn't horrible the BDSM part was nice and done well but it couldn't save the rest of the book.

Derek Hansen falls head over heels for veterinarian Rayna Michaels but she's not to keen on dating police officers. The sexual chemistry between them can't be denied and when Rayna finally gives in it's hot, heavy, and kinky. While they keep getting hotter and kinkier they get close and on both sides realize how deep they have gotten in this relationship but they are both hiding things from each other. When trusts are betrayed and secrets revealed it just may be the end of their kinky romance.

Overall, unless I knew the persons tastes ran this way I wouldn't recommend it. I couldn't connect with the characters, the story was so predictable, and I wish the dog was in it more and not just used as a plot device to get them together.
