    Outlaw’s Obsession by Nicole Snow
    (Grizzlies MC #2)
    Publication date: March 16th 2015
    Genres: Adult, Romance

    Synopsis:

    AN OUTLAW’S OBSESSION RUNS FURIOUS, DEEP, AND FOREVER…

    CHRISTA

    Hell always screams into my life on two wheels – so why the hell does he look like heaven? Rabid’s nothing like the other vicious thugs in the Grizzlies Motorcycle Club. When I see the dark ink dancing on his stunning body, I almost believe he’s here to save me, instead of just seduce me.

    But I won’t be fooled again. All the club brings is ruin, and they’re back to give me more.

    Sure, Rabid saved me once. Doesn’t mean I’ll get closer and dig my grave deeper, no matter how nice his rough hands would feel locked around my waist. Angels never kiss like devils, right?

    RABID

    I can’t get her outta my skull. My brothers say she’s like broken glass, but they don’t know she’s already lodged in my heart.

    She’s tense, suspicious, and totally scared. I’m gonna find out why. Secrets don’t mean a damned thing if she’s in danger.

    Christa’s mine. I don’t care if my patch makes her flip, or even if she keeps breathing fire my way every second we’re together. I’m the best thing that ever walked into her life, and I’m not walking out.

    I’ll bleed rivers to get my brand on this woman. She’s gonna wear it and get used to calling me her old man. I’ll have my lips all over this redhead knockout if it’s the last thing I do…

    Dog-Crazy-Meg-Donohue

    DOG CRAZYThe USA Today bestselling author of How to Eat a Cupcake and All the Summer Girls returns with an unforgettably poignant and funny tale of love and loss, confronting our fears, and moving on . . . with the help of a poodle, a mutt, and a Basset retriever named Seymour

    As a pet bereavement counselor, Maggie Brennan uses a combination of empathy, insight, and humor to help patients cope with the anguish of losing their beloved four-legged friends. Though she has a gift for guiding others through difficult situations, Maggie has major troubles of her own that threaten the success of her counseling practice and her volunteer work with a dog rescue organization.

    Everything changes when a distraught woman shows up at Maggie’s office and claims that her dog has been stolen. Searching the streets of San Francisco for the missing pooch, Maggie finds herself entangled in a mystery that forces her to finally face her biggest fear-and to open her heart to new love.

    Packed with deep emotion and charming surprises, Dog Crazy is a bighearted and entertaining story that skillfully captures the bonds of love, the pain of separation, and the power of our dogs to heal us.

     My Review

    I have a dog.  His name is Max, and although it wasn’t my decision to get him, I love him like he was my son.  To lose him would be (will be) devastating.  I have had two dogs that have passed away. One (Pepe) when I was in junior high, and one (Buffy) when I was in my first full-time job.  Granted, those two were my “brothers”, but I felt their loss deeply. This book made me remember them and I miss them.

    Maggie is a grief counselor for people who have lost their pets.  When she moves across the country to start a new life  Her best friend and dog, Toby, dies shortly after the move, leading Maggie to run her counselling business in her home because his loss triggered agoraphobia.  A new client forces Maggie to face her fears, so that she can help her find her dog or at least deal with his loss.

    Maggie finds more than her courage by the end of the book she finds love in more ways than one.

    Although I felt the beginning of the book was a little drawn out, I did enjoy this book.  There is a romance in this book, and not just about a dog.  It takes a while to happen, but once it does, it is sweet.

    My Review

    Anyone who knows me at all knows how much I love anthologies.  So, when I found out about this  particular collaboration, there was no way I wasn’t going to be a part of it.  Kindle Alexander, Toni Aleo, Sawyer BennettBrenda Rothert(Goodreads Author), Chelle Bliss (Goodreads Author), and Eden Butler (Goodreads Author) are all authors I love.  I mean out of the six I belong on half of their street teams.  That is how much I  adore these women.  

    Each story takes place in New Orleans and has a connection with a Hospital.  But my favorite part of this particular anthology is that it is cross-genre.  M/F, M/M and interracial.  I have heard people are not happy about reading M/M or whatever in this book, but to them I say that this anthology reflects life!  If you go to the movies and look at the people around you, you would be surprised at  who you see.  Love is Love people.  If you are upset about M/M, either skip that story or just get over it.  Ditto for whatever story you have a hang up on.  

    I loved certain stories more than some of the others, but in general this was a really great anthology and I highly recommend you to read it.   5 Hearts!
