review 1: Head's up to my "clean-read" Goodreads friends: This book contains profanity, sensual content, and a scene of violence.Dogs Aren't Men started off as a really good contemporary read. I was drawn to the character of Rebecca as a vet who loves animals. I have been to vets who you know could care less about your pet and those who truly love every animal who walks through the door and truly desires to help them. So, Rebecca was my kind of vet until she started adding curse words to her language toward the latter half of the book. I know in real life people do say curse words. However, society has made that a way of life and taken away the common courtesy and respect that fellow citizens should have for one another in their speech. In other words, cursing isn't necessary... more, and I would like to see more authors avoid yielding to the hollywood-ized standards that we see so much on TV and in movies.Good points to this book. Every animal character was awesome especially Captain and Roscoe! How Ms. Tiner handled the relationship Kara was trapped in, was well done. I see many young women entrap themselves in dangerous relationships and they can escape if they will only find the courage to press charges and trust the right kinds of people to help them start over. Jimmy, Kara's brother, is an absolute sweetheart. So is June. I was disturbed by the anger tendencies of the "good guys" Derrick and Mitch. Although neither acted on their anger, the story sometimes came across as if they might act on it. If I were Rebecca, I would not want to be in a relationship with a man who is angry all the time. That's what got Kara into the mess she was in during the story. That being said, I am going to take the anger/jealousy at face value and say it was just a man not willing to admit that he liked the girl and was angry with himself more than anything or anyone else. So who does Rebecca choose...you'll have to read the book to find out.Final note: Ms. Tiner has written some excellent elementary/middle school age books - Heart of a Hero and The Rescue Team. Check these books out for your family if you have an opportunity.
review 2: I found this book as a freebie on amazon and I am glad that I read it. The book is fast paced and an absolute page turner. The best part is that you can easily relate to the characters. I loved the fact that Rebecca hadn't been shown to be some super model like person, rather her simplicity is what catches the attention. I will admit that I had hearty laugh a good times whole reading this book. Well worth a read! less
