One thing that I have come to expect from the A Breed Apart: Legacy series is an intense read and boy was Riot intense! It was apparent from the beginning that this was going to be a novel that would be hard to put down, and my early assumption was correct. I read Riot practically in one sitting and loved every suspenseful moment.

I love how intense this series is! It takes you all over the world and puts you in these intense situations with the characters for every heart-pounding moment. I have to admit that I was apprehensive about the subject matter of this particular novel, but the author handled this incredibly tough subject matter beautifully. Honestly, it made me feel hopeful that we as a people can one day eliminate human trafficking once and for all, and it’s a great reminder that there are ways out there to help the victims.

What truly won me over with this novel, besides the intense suspense, was the characters. Paisley is one of those characters that has a light about her. Her faith is admirable, especially when you learn about everything that she’s been through, and how she has chosen to use her nightmare to help others, is nothing short of amazing. Pair her with Danger, an incredibly fleshed-out character that had my heart from the first chapter, and Riot, the lethal service dog with the sweetest personality, and you’ve got one amazing novel.

I love this series so much and each installment gets better and better. I can’t wait to see what adventure the author will take us on next!

Man, that was some fun! Overflowing with adrenaline, fast-paced action, and intense strategy to bring down the bad guys, the book starts in high gear and doesn’t wind down until the very end. Kudos to author JJ Samie Myles on a job well-done on her debut novel. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!

Beau was an amazing hero and warrior - battle-scarred yet still wanting to right the wrongs, haunted by his past yet working to overcome his demons and addictions, hurting yet protective and fiercely loyal. Paisley was an admirable heroine as well - compassionate and loving even when it’s difficult, brave even when facing crippling fear. Beau and Paisley both struggle with PTSD when they re-enter Venezuela and it was somewhat difficult to read about what they both suffered through and how they escaped the first time around. Still, there were poignant moments of reconciliation and forgiveness, as well as great romantic scenes. But, of course, the real hero of the book was Riot and I loved this dog’s intelligence, work ethic, boundless energy, and unswerving loyalty.

If you love military-esque action and suspense, this book is a must read. I received a complimentary copy courtesy of Sunrise Publishing via JustRead Tours and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are my own.… (meer)

I received this book as part of the launch team.

Riot is a working military dog who has been retired and just lost his handler to suicide. Paisley has taken charge of Riot because her cousin left him to her in his will. She meets her neighbor Danger through Riot’s bad behavior. He is a former military dog handler who lost his WMD in a terrible op that went wrong and resulted in his capture and subsequent rescue. Through a series of events Danger, Paisley, and Riot end up on an op to Central America to rescue Danger’s niece.

This is an quick moving story with well drawn characters and lots of action. I truly enjoyed the ride and look forward to the next installment in the series.… (meer)

I adore a good, sweet romance but there is something truly special that happens when you pair that with a canine, which is what makes Chaos, and the A Breed Apart series as a whole, so special to me.

I love the mood at the beginning of the story. Enemies-to-lovers is one of my all-time favorite troupes and the snarkiness the two leads have with one another is so entertaining to me. Pair that with witty and engaging writing, as well as some pretty heart-stopping action, and you’re set for one entertaining novel.

Rio has some pretty serious daddy issues. She has always felt like her father has put Chaos ahead of her, and she wants to prove herself and make her father proud. She is constantly feeling like she has to prove herself to someone, which is something I identify with immensely. Cathal (Ireland) is a pretty amazing character himself, but Chaos is the one that stole my heart. Every time I saw her name my heart swooned as I love her protective yet loving nature, always being a silent supporter, and sometimes a physical protection, of both leading characters. Chaos is the perfect catalyst.

The story is engaging from beginning to end, with action perfectly placed in between scenes that weave together a narrative of two broken individuals who have found one another. I love this series so much and Chaos is the perfect addition. The writing is immersive and made it hard for me to put it down, and I could see the story with such vivid clarity. I highly recommend!
