But when he comes to her aid, she realizes she doesn't want him to get in trouble for defending her honor. She rushes him out the back door, only to have him kiss her.
When his technology shocks her into passing out, she finds herself on a spaceship that insists on being called "John Wayne" with this gorgeous alien on a one way trip to the planet Vezul.

EXCERPT
"They are. What do you mean by your world?" Cari put her hands on her hips. Yes, provoking the crazy man was probably not wise, but she was angry now! Some ass-spanking pervert accosts her, Mr. Tall Dark and Crazy saves her, so she saves him from being arrested, and he repays her by kidnapping her."Your world… Earth. I am sorry. Did you wish to see it before we left?""We left Earth?" She laughed; she could not help it. Until he muttered something indistinguishable and the walls, ceiling, and floor disappeared. Cari screamed and grabbed his black skin tight suit, except she wasn't falling. How can I be standing among the stars? "Is that Earth?" Her voice squeaked as she spotted what looked like the pictures that NASA released from roving satellites."Yes. Is this what you call hugging? It is quite pleasing."

Review of Love's Always Paws Able
Second chances at life, love, and a forever home don’t come every day.
Faith Daniels leaves a successful Silicon Valley career to follow her life’s dream: in Cedar Grove she builds a foster home for unwanted and abused dogs. She knows dogs have the ability to love even after being abandoned. Abandoned by her fiancĂ© and friends, Faith wishes she could learn to love and trust again.
Tanner Keen leaves behind the stress of his multi-million dollar advertising firm to save his life. He needs peace and quiet. So when a friend asks him to help a small town animal shelter, the opportunity seems perfect.
But all is not peaceful at the shelter in Cedar Grove. Can Faith and Tanner discover the deceit in others and still find trust in each other?
Love’s always paws-able.
MY REVIEW:
LOVE'S ALWAYS PAWS-ABLE WAS A VERY FAST READ FOR ME. THE BOOK IS FILLED WITH ROMANCE, LOVE, SUSPENSE AND MYSTERY. I LOVE FAITH AND TANNER. THERE WAS CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THEM INSTANTLY. FAITH IS A VERY STRONG AND CARING PERSON WHO HAS BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH IN ORDER TO PURSUE HER DREAM. SHE GIVES UP HER CAREER TO OPEN A FOSTER HOME FOR ABUSED AND ABANDONED DOGS. TANNER IS A WORKAHOLIC WHO NEARLY DIES. SO HE LEAVES HIS BUSINESS AND HELPS OUT A SMALL SHELTER. HE MEETS FAITH THERE AND THEY CONNECT. FAITH AND TANNER DISCOVER SOMETHING ILLEGAL GOING ON AT THE SHELTER. WILL THEY DISCOVER THE TRUTH IN TIME?
I LOVE JOANNE'S WRITING. SHE WRITES WITH SUCH PASSION AND YOU CAN FEEL HER LOVE OF ANIMALS ESPECIALLY DOGS. I LOVE THE SMALL TOWN SETTING WHERE EVERYONE KNOW EVERYONE ELSE. IT IS SO MUCH MORE BELIEVABLE. I LOVE HOW SHE INCLUDES ANIMALS IN HER WRITING AND I HOPE SHE CONTINUES TO DO SO. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALL OF HER BOOKS INCLUDING THIS SERIES. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. SHE IS A WONDERFUL WRITER. I HAVE LOVED ALL OF HER BOOKS I HAVE READ AND WAS NEVER DISAPPOINTED IN ANY OF HER BOOKS AND I WILL CONTINUE TO READ HER BOOKS. SHE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE AUTHORS. 5 STARS
