Yes, I know this might be technically considered cheating, but I've read the series earlier this year and even though I'm only now catching up on my reviews - yes, shame on me, you're completely right - I didn't want to overlook it, therefore I decided to write at least a couple of lines.
So, if you see me using the same words to describe the majority of the books, you know the reason.
I loved all of these books and what I wrote at the time, for "Sniper" (book 1), applies to the entire collection: they books are short, sweet, sexy and steamy - "the perfect choice to add a little bit of steamy goodness and badassery to your day."
My favorites are "Rider" and "Rancher".
There's no cliffhangers and all of they can be read as standalones, but they're a little bit like chips: there's no way you can stop at one.

Jacob and Nova
Jacob AKA Tatts is big, tatted and a dog dad. He meets Nova, the veterinarian months ago and gets hooked. Embarrassingly, he finds excuses to go to the vet to see her like coming up with imaginary ailments for his dog. Until he finds out her dog went missing along with a few others in the community and he is determined to get her dog back. Sweet and heartwarming. Highly recommended

I loved and hated this story. I love my puppy, and this story about stolen dogs and dog fighting, just hurt my heart. I liked that he wanted to make her smile by trying to find her puppy. I don’t like that the puppies were hurt, but I liked that him and his club rescued them, and then brought them to her to help them. That’s the way to own a heart, to bring back the missing piece, making it whole. Loved the happy ending.

Liked this book about and Nova who is a vet. Tatts makes up excuses to bring his dog Zeus to see her when he's the one who wants to see her. But when he finds out from her, her lab, Sadie was taken he finds out other labs are missing as well. So the hunt is on for her dog and the club helps. HEA.

Another MC romance by Hope Ford to feed all of our obsessions. This one slides in as 5.1 in the list and gives us a 10 on the hotness. Dr. Nova is everything Jacob, aka Tatts, wants and he doesn't know how to show her. Instead of being a mature grownup, he fakes his dog's illness for a quick visit to drop in on the hot doctor. Quick read with a happy ending.

Tatts is a short story about a veterinarian and an MC member and their dogs Zeus and Sadie. Jacob or Tatts brings Zeus in to see Nova the vet with " fake" illnesses just to see her. When a number of dogs are missing including her dog Sadie he promises to find her. They both have been hiding their attraction but their chemistry is off the chart. This is a spicy quick read readers will enjoy.

Una historia con un personaje masculino fuerte y seguro, una médico veterinaria y muchos perritos. ¿Qué podría estar mal? Solo por los perritos dejo pasar el insta-love gigante.
El epílogo me encantó también ♥

This was a really good short story. Excellent plot and loved the characters. Tatts is an alpha with a good heart. Loved that Nova wasn’t judgmental. Definitely a great short story!

Real Short read BUT was a good story... Great connection between Nova and Tatts.

Nova is a sweet veterinarian. Jacob aka Tatts brings his lab Zeus in to get checked out. Its a great story and adds to the rest of the series.

If you are reading the series, this can come before or after book one. Where GoodReads has it as 5.1, the background character relationships aren't correct.

A short, sweet and romantic story. It’s very straight and to the point, no messing around or build up. Not really the type of book I enjoy but it was a good quick read.

I'm a bit confused. The Tatts I read was Nina and nathan, an older man tattooist Dom and a younger virgin.
