Love Unleashed
Caleb Alden has three save every dog possible, never miss an opportunity to charm a beautiful woman, and never, ever, settle down.
As a skilled K9 handler, he’s poured his heart into opening a nonprofit K9 facility to help retired working dogs. So when his fundraising event is suddenly three weeks from disaster and a gorgeous event planner named Charlotte Hayes lands in his world to save it, Caleb tells himself she's just another beautiful distraction.
Charlotte is organized, career-focused, and completely, utterly terrified of dogs. Spending so much time at a facility full of them is her personal nightmare. But Charlotte doesn't run from hard things, especially when her career is on the line. So when Caleb asks her to help train a retired police K9 for the event, she agrees, even though she knows it’s a bad idea. Not because of the dog. Because of the man standing next to her.
As the event draws closer, the walls around Caleb begin to crack in ways he never expected. Charlotte is smart, innovative, and able to calm a 90-pound German Shepherd even when her voice is shaking. And now Charlotte is starting to wonder if the man she assumed would never change... already has.
Love Unleashed is the first book in the Alden Brothers series, a heartfelt, slow-burn romance about second chances, unexpected courage, and the way we learn to love when we finally stop running.

Romance and Dogs
I love Rex and the rescued dogs in this book, as well as Caleb and the rest of the Alden brothers. I love Charlotte's spunk and her courage in the face of fear. I read this book all in one night because it totally drew me in, and I had to see what happened next. I will definitely be looking for more books by this author.
