I listened to this as an Audiobook and I must say it was quite fitting to experience a blind man's love story by listening to it

Carter is a vet who just moved to Boston to take over a practice. When he goes to do a house call to Isaac's place he is quite surprised that his patient is a guide dog. Not to mention his interest in the gorgeous owner.
Soon it's obvious man and dog has not connected after Rosie's (Isaac's previous guide dog) death and Carter wants to help.
Though, once their tentative friendship and relationship blooms, Isaac's moods and anger might ruin everything.

The most intriguing character was obviously Isaac with his totally different way of living and his emotions, but seeing Carter getting used to and managing the blind man and his temper perfectly was fascinating. Their relationship showed nicely how two people should go through and fight their problems and open up so they can be together.

There were many many sweet moments between the two men, as well as with Brady, the smartest doggo of all. The love story was quite unique and I loved to hear how one's disability does not matter (as it shouldn't) when the right person arrives in their life.

Beautiful, sweet and of course scorching hot as expected from the author. M/M romance lovers don't hasitate to pick this up.

A few words on the audiobook... it was my first and it was a totally different experience. I loved listening to Michael Pauley, he has quite a sexy voice to be honest but also really expressing. The bonus is that listening to a story about someone who doesn't see and his hearing and other senses are hightened was fitting and amazing.
Was not my last Audiobook for sure.

This was a sweet love story. I really don’t have much to say other than I wished Carter had explained his feelings towards the way Isaac treated his dog a lot sooner.

Michael Pauley’s performance was great for this book I enjoyed it quite a lot.

An emotional M/M romance between a blind man and his guide dog’s new veterinarian. Carter and Isaac's story had moments of humor, raw emotion, steam, frustration and empathy. For the most part I enjoyed the main characters’ chemistry and interactions.

I appreciated Carter’s patience with Isaac and willingness to let Isaac have his little temper tantrums. I wanted to really like Isaac but at times his character felt so childish and moody. I understood the foundation of his frustrations and reservations but his continued behavior became too much at times, especially around his dog Brady. I’m just glad he redeemed himself in the end.

The romance in this story was sweet and a beautiful slow burn. I loved the physical exploration that the couple took together. Their trust in each other was palpable. I enjoyed how Isaac's disability didn’t effect their relationship in the slightest.

The dialogue in the book was a little bland and felt kind of cheesy at times. It wasn’t too deep or complex.

I listened to this book on audio and didn’t particularly love the narration by Michael Pauley. It was just okay.

This is definitely the first NR Walker book where I am not completely in love with both protagonists. I wanted to strangle Isaac from time to time.
But a romantic love story including dogs...of course I liked it. It was very dramatic though from time to time.

Not as sweet as I was expecting but filled with excellent tension throughout the novel, as Issac certainly doesn't make life easy for Carter - but still their connection is strong.

Some typos, some questionable disability rep.

There was nothing really wrong with the book - I just completely wasn’t feeling it and didn’t see any reason to listen for the last ninety minutes or so. I didn’t feel the chemistry between the MCs at all. Unfortunate, because I normally really enjoy this author.
