Permanent ones.

The work is filthy, thankless, and barely legal, but bills don’t pay themselves. So he keeps his head down, cleans kennels, and tries not to think about what happens to the puppies that don’t sell.
Then one night, he sees a masked figure trying to break in.

He never meant to witness what comes next.

And some saviors don’t wear halos.
REVIEW:
For years Noah has worked at a puppy (breeding) farm, he lives there too. He has nothing, just a few clothes, because he gets underpaid.
The farm is illegal and run by two shady brothers.
One night, Noah finds himself captured by a man, who also captured the two brothers.
Rhys is a veterinarian; he’s quite famous. His clinic gets filmed daily for a good-running TV show. Nobody knows he has a shady side activity.
Rhys doesn’t know what to do with this third person. He drugged the brothers but there was a witness, he had to take him too.
Noah isn’t afraid of him, or afraid to die like his bosses, he’s only begging Rhys to take care of the mommy dogs and their puppies.
Rhys is quite flabbergasted by Noah’s wish.
Rhys, the good veterinarian he is, can’t let the dogs suffer, and takes them to his clinic.
Rhys needs Noah to stay, so he can keep an eye on him, right? Not because Noah turned his structured life upside down.
What follows has a lot to do with the clinic, the dogs, the film crew, the clinic employees, some threats, and Rhys and Noah getting closer.
It was a sweet read. Noah found his home with Rhys and all the puppies, and Rhys opened his heart and life to the world.
I did love all the puppies and all the clinic matters, but, for my pleasure, it took up a bit too much space. I was expecting (and wanted) murder, romance, and action. It was there, but a bit in the background.
What stands is a lovely story.
