BOOK REVIEW- PRIMAL FORCE



BOOK REVIEW- PRIMAL FORCE-Passion is always worth fighting for…
Jori Garrison trains dogs for Warrior Wolf Pack, which provides service animals for disabled veterans. Four years ago, she was wrongly convicted of a crime--thanks to her no-good ex- fiancĂ©. Now she just wants to live her life in peace with her beloved dogs. No men, no complications. But it's hard to play it cool when a lethally hot male is on her tail--and the attraction is fierce, mutual, and dangerous….
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, he's reluctant to accept a service dog named Samantha into his life. But once he meets her trainer--the gorgeous Jori Garrison--he can't 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 hope…to survive.  AMAZON    ***** I will be giving it 5 Stars on Amazon.

Wow, what an intense book. Loved it.  Definitely an adult read, mainly because of sexual action and some blunt language.    The saying about "No man is an Island" never met Law Batisse.  Both Law and his half sister, -- had been raised in a really strange way, without much real love, compassion or kindness.  What happened after that in wartime had only made that worse.   He didn't need anyone or anything; his walls were up monumental in height.    But then he met Jori and while all the walls didn't come down, she did manage to sneak in a bit.  One thing was that she could make him laugh at the same time that he thought he never would again.  He wanted her and afterwards pushed her away, for her own sake of course.   I thought the author did a pretty good job  when it came to making the reader almost feel what Law went through with some of his challenges.  Both the PTSD, panic and his loss of leg and use of prosthesis challenges.    I liked the three different P.O.V's in the story.  You might be thinking 3?  Yes, Law, Jori and Samantha (Sam) the  Service Dog.  I really enjoyed Sam's addition to the story a lot.  I didn't count the cat because there weren't too many thoughts there.  Another thing Law told himself was that he didn't need any useless, fluffy Cheese Doodle dog.   Such an unmanly dog to be saddled with.  Something that also caught my attention was how Law was described in one instance, "he reflected the primal instinct of a survivor".   I talked so long about Law but I really can't leave out Jori.  What a great heroine, loving person with so much hope for her future until she was set up to take the fall.    Years got stolen from her because of it but she was pulling herself into a better life as best as she could.  Then she met Law as a service dog trainer through Warriors Wolf Pack and her life was never the same again.  I really liked Jori's part in the story as well as some of the training information that was included concerning the Service Dogs for veterans.
There is an Epilogue to the story.  It was good but I was hoping for more of course but it did end well.  

I was given a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
