Having not read the first book in this series, I had no problem reading this as a standalone. Alex and his two buddies are former military now operating their own training facility for military dogs and also obedience training for local animals. Elisa is scared of Alex in their first chance encounter, but when fate throws them back together again, he works hard not to spook her recognizing her skittish behavior as a red flag for deeper problems. Once Alex gets Elisa to open up, not only is he not scared to stand with her, but he enlists the help of his friends as well. The two both have some PTSD type issues they have to learn to work around, but they make progress with the help of one of the dogs in training. In the end when danger strikes, the dog who loves them might be the one to save them.
I liked the characters and especially the relationship between Alex, Elisa, and their canine pal. I will probably go back and check out book one now.
I received an ARC from Net Galley for review.
