Disappointing

I'm sad. I really enjoyed the first two books, but this book disappointed. SPOILERS: First of all, authors of series need to be very very careful about killing off established characters. The second book ended with the promise of a happy relationship between two characters; this book began with her death. I had downloaded this book based on enjoying the second one...so this was a huge disappointment. The second point: there's a difference between a man being protective of a woman, and him going around assaulting other men because he thinks they need to be intimidated into leaving her alone. The further I got into the book, the less I liked Paul- he felt creepy, not romantic. The story line about the stalker was pretty much lacking in suspense, because all the clues pointed to the same man. And third: when a story is pitched to animal lovers, be very, very careful about endangering animals. People who read animal books want happy endings for the animals. Fourth: I realize this is a personal issue, but it makes me uncomfortable that cats were only mentioned in passing during the book. The author says that there were 300 cats in the shelter...but we never see a one of them. Does this vet like cats? It sure doesn't seem so. And that's the final nail in the coffin here. This series began with such promise, but it's lost me as a reader.

Fell in love with the dogs and the people.

Loved the characters and the way they wove the stories of the dogs into the lives of the characters without losing the fact that this is a story about the people. Another reviewer commented that they didn't like how this one started based on the expectations they had from the book prior to this one. Apparently, this book is part of a series. To me, the fact that I never felt like I was missing any back story is a huge plus; I hate feeling like you have to have read the other books to get what is going on in the one I'm reading. Because I didn't read the prior book, I had no attachment to the characters until they were presented here. **Small Spoiler** Not all of the animals make it to the end of the book. While I felt an attachment to the animals and was sad (may've cried...), it didn't make me dislike the book or the author. It was sad; sometimes that is the way life can be. They also took offense at the lack of mention regarding the cats that were at the vet; this was not an issue for me, but I'm also not a huge cat lover, so if you are, maybe that would also be an issue for you. (The title does say "Every DOG..." not "Cat") I never felt like the H was overly protective (referring to a review who felt he was almost creepy/over the top); it seemed like he was a man who knew the pain of loss and was anxious to stop the threat.
