About the author
Charlotte Brice
54 books117 followersCharlotte Brice started writing at the age of thirteen when her handwriting looked like a drunken spider tried to navigate its way across the page. Practicing her handwriting got a lot more interesting when her gran gave her two Rawhide books, and her imagination took over.
Charlotte is left-handed and can lick her own nose.
She lives in England with her husband, and many animals, four of them human. Attack chickens, confused dragons and moving rocks make up the majority of the menagerie. We can't expect much better from someone who studied fruit flies during her animal science degree and then qualified as a vet.
She remembers those days fondly, when putting her arm up a cow's bottom, and socks on emus' heads was her kind of normality. Now her head is filled with tentacles and schizophrenic phoenixes.

Did Not Finish
May 9, 2026DNF @33% ... I probably should have listened to my prior self's complaints in the last book I DNF'd from this author, but I got sucked in by the promise of puppies 😂 But the writing is just... Well, not good, from a craft perspective, but also full of minor inconsistencies that make the story itself feel shallow and sloppy. After my third progress update about these, I realized that reading any further would be more frustration than enjoyment, so I'm out 🤷♀️

Rhys is a beloved veterinarian with a public image built on compassion, but when legal avenues fail to stop animal cruelty, he secretly takes justice into his own hands. Noah, stuck working at a grim puppy farm, helps a masked intruder free the dogs — only to discover it’s Rhys and to witness far more than he intended. Their connection quickly turns intense and dangerous, forcing Noah to decide how much of Rhys’s darkness he can accept, and whether loving him means living with blood on his hands.
I loved how naturally Noah fit into Rhys’s life, especially with his gentle focus on the health and wellbeing of the dogs rescued from the puppy farm. That shared compassion became the heart of their connection. Rhys showed his affection in the only ways he truly knew how — by caring for Noah and for the animals Noah cared about — and it made their relationship feel both tender and a little obsessive in the best way. Rhys is a strange, intense man with his OCD routines and his lethal determination to stop animal cruelty, but Noah softens him in ways no one else ever has. Their bond grows out of that mix of darkness and devotion, and it was delightful to watch unfold. The story was full of emotions and feelings from start to finish, and the balance between danger, affection, and moral complexity made it a gripping, satisfying read. This was an MM story with mature content.

Rhys is a veterinarian in real life and on TV. But he is also a serial unaliver. On one of his extracurricular secret jobs, he encounters Noah, working at a puppy mill. Noah is in favor of his unaliving the cruel owners of the puppy mill, and though not wanting to participate, agrees with his activity. They concoct a scheme to save the dogs and form a strange partnership that becomes more with unexplainable empathy for the psychopath, little fear and a strange feeling of comfort, relaxation and safety. Rhys is very OCD and cold yet attaches to Noah with ease. Noah has had a hard life, animals are his number one concern and it's odd he relates to and joins Rhys so easily. Rhys has a lot wrong with him but Noah has something wrong with him too. It's very dark, creepy and fascinating.

3.75 rounded up - comparing to other books in the series
I enjoyed this a lot more than i thought I would. Minimal to basically no explicit smut but a very cool, much more engaging plot than expected - like Noah, I staydd for the puppies. Appreciated the read and world building! At some point, it got a little too heavy on the internal monologuing but overall okay. The writing gets weird at some points and was confused on the timeline of things, timeline gets wonky - probably won't read this author again personally but it was refreshing for this particular multiauthor series.

This was a really great book that once I was a few pages in, I could not put it down. This book will grab you and keep you interested and reading until the last page. It moves along at a pace which makes for an easy and enjoyable read. Has interesting characters that you cannot help but love and a story that will not disappoint. This book needs to be at the top of your TBR list, there is no doubt about it. It is a must read.
