(R) Necessary Force by D. D. Ayers


Necessary Force (K-9 Rescue, #0.5)













Georgia Flynn is a freelance photographer in Washington, D.C., used to photographing senators, dignitaries, and major events.  But when a friend calls in a favor, asking Georgia to photograph sexy members of law enforcement and their working dogs for a fundraising calendar (to benefit retired K-9s), she can't help it when she becomes attracted to one man in particular.  Out of every man there that day, one strikes up a conversation and in a moment of weakness, she takes him home for a one night stand, completely understanding she'll never see him again.

When Eric Lawson and his dog Zander are called in for a suspected bomb threat, he is shocked to see Georgia Flynn standing across from him.  As a suspect.  The woman who had photographed him and slept with him.  He knew there was no way she was the terrorist he was chasing after but he has a job to do.  After working it over with his superiors, he pushes himself into her life after seeing that she is in danger - not only from a stalker but a stalker who may end up being the terrorist he is looking for.  While he does wonder if Georgia knows about what is going on, he eventually learns that her life is seriously in danger and he will do anything to protect her.

As someone who works with dogs, I could NOT resist requesting this book, especially when I found out the dogs are going to play a big role in this series.  (Who can resist a man in uniform AND a dog?)  While I think that this book would have been better suited to have just been told from Georgia's point-of-view, I still enjoyed the book.  Knowing this is a novella, you can only expect so much character development within it.  I really liked being able to see things from Eric's side as an investigator.  The action was fast-paced and I loved how she made sure that Zander was an integral part of saving Georgia.  I'm really looking forward to seeing more from this author and of this series!!
