Professional Reviews

4.5 STARS: "Joyee Flynn is a talented author who knows how to create hot, sexy manlove stories to fall in love with. What I loved about Sheriff Found was the characters. You had playful Toby, the beagle shifter, strong, domaninat Randall (hey he made me swoon!!!! lol) and some wonderful secondary characters that left me hoping they would pop up in future books. Sheriff Found is a fun, sweet, hot and at times, funny tale of a beagle puppy shifter named Toby who is sent out to find help for his pack who are very ill. I never read a shifter story that had beagle puppies as the shifter and found it very refreshing, different and a new spin on the shifter genre. Ms. Flynn delivers a story that will leave you laughing one minute, sighing the next and rooting for Randall and Toby to find their happily ever after. Ms. Flynn vividly captures the playfulness of a puppy and the cuteness they have. I loved the connection between Randall and Toby; it was quite hot at times and also tender when love began to grow between them. The writing was tight, the story flowed at a nice and even pace and the sex scenes complimented the growing attraction between the two main characters nicely. The heat between Randall and Toby was at times fun, playful and then the author would flip the script and holy hotness batman, get the ice cubes out. It got so steaming hot I swore the computer was about the combust. The dynamics betwen the pack members had me intrigued especially as the reader was told about how it came into existence within the first few chapters of SHERIFF FOUND. I am eager to see when book two comes out as the ending left a few things open that had me racing to see what is next in the series. Overall, SHERIFF FOUND is fun, at times hot, sexy tale of two people finding their destined mates and falling in love. Who said love was ever easy never met a puppy shifter. :) Joyee Flynn has a winner in this latest series debut and I cannot wait to check outm ore of her work in the future." -- Raine Delight, Dawn's Reading Nook

4.5 NYMPHS: "Sheriff Found had me laughing from the beginning. The shifters in this new series are not your typical wolf or feline; instead, the pack is made up of puppy shifters. While that may come across a little hinkey, fans of shape-shifter stories will understand that there is a difference between the characters in human form and in their animal form. The author also does a wonderful job explaining the ins and outs of the pack, which answers any questions the reader may have. As for the main characters in Sheriff Found, I absolutely fell in love with Toby, who even in human form has all the characteristics of a hyper puppy, and Randall, who makes the perfect Alpha for Toby. The way the shifters mark their mates not only had me laughing out loud, but also made me wonder how the author came up with that particular idea. The chemistry between the men comes through clearly, as does the deep love that springs up almost at once. During the course of Sheriff Found, the author introduces two secondary characters who will soon be back in their own story and I can’t wait. This has all the earmarks of a fun series that readers will be reading over and over again." -- Critter Nymph, Literary Nymphs Reviews

He is a beagle puppy shifter who is sent out to find help and maybe a cure to his pack’s mysterious illness. Rambunctious, sexy as sin and playful, Toby is a surprise to Sheriff Randall Markins when he brings home an ailing puppy. Finding out Toby is a shifter and that they are mates has Randall reeling. I loved Toby and Randall together. Randall was a pure alpha male-strong, tough but with that vulnerable center and absolutely gorgeous. I was half in love with the man half-way through the story. Toby was the epitome of his shifter-playful, loved affection and was loyal. These two made serious heat whenever they were together and I swore the computer screen was smoking by the time I was done reading SHERIFF FOUND. There were several secondary characters that had me intrigued and I would love to know more about them in future books. SHERIFF FOUND is a fun, playful story of two people finding one another and learning that love will happen regardless of how they may feel. I fell in love with the shifter pack in SHERIFF FOUND and cannot wait to read future books about them. I do have to say the ending leaves me hoping that the second book cannot be far in the future. Ms. Flynn is a talented writer who delivers a story that will leave you left wanting more. I cannot wait to check out more of this author’s backlist titles to see what hits my fancy. I look forward to seeing what else this author creates in the future." -- Dawn, Love Romances and More

Excerpt

STORY EXCERPT

“Sorry, it’s the rules, little guy,” he said gently as he lifted the dog into his arms. “Your owners will come down and find you.”

“Owners, my ass,” Randall swore he heard someone say. Looking around, he saw the parking lot was empty besides him and the beagle he was holding. Obviously, the dog hadn’t talked. Randall chuckled at the idea. His sex life was bad, but not bad enough to push him into crazy world yet. Glancing down at the pup in his arms, he got licked by a soft, wet tongue.

“You really are the cutest pup I’ve ever seen,” Randall whispered as he scratched the dog behind the ears. He walked through the front door, and the lady at the front desk, who was talking on the phone, waved him through when he showed her his prize. The pup started whining and trying to get away when they went in the back. “It’s okay, little guy, we’re just going to see the doc.”

Randall gasped when the little head and floppy ears managed to wiggle into his shirt between the buttons. The pup started licking and rubbing against his sparse chest hair at the top of his wifebeater.

“Oh, you’re so going to keep him.” Dr. Cameron Dalton chuckled as he walked up toward them.

“No way, we met by him peeing on my leg.” Randall snickered as he pulled the beagle back out of his shirt. “He doesn’t have any tags. Can you see if he’s got one of those digital ones embedded in him?”

“Of course, Sheriff,” Cameron replied as he went to take the pup. They both jumped when the dog gave a loud growl. “Whoa, why didn’t you leash him and cage him?”

“He’s been the sweetest pup I’ve ever seen until now,” Randall said, shocked at the dog’s reaction. Pulling him back, he held the dog tightly until he calmed down. “The doc is just going to scan you, pup. I’ll hang on to you the whole time, okay?”

He was shocked when the dog gave a quick bark and licked him like he understood what Randall was saying. Looking up at the Sheriff, Cameron shrugged his shoulders and went to get the scanner. When he came back, Randall held the pup tightly as the vet ran the wand over the dog’s neck.

“I got nothing, but I want to check his teeth,” Cameron said, setting the scanner aside. “When he growled, I saw something. I think he’s sick.”

“All right, just stay calm, little buddy. The doc’s going to check you out,” Randall cooed as he held the dog up so his muzzle was facing Cameron. The doctor snapped on some latex gloves and reached for the dog’s mouth. Randall watched as the pup just about opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue for the doc.

“Shit,” Cameron hissed as he pulled away from the dog. “We can’t keep him here. He’ll get every animal here sick.”

“What’s wrong with him?” Randall asked, pulled the pup closer to his body. “Is he going to be okay?”

“I don’t know,” Cameron answered, taking off his gloves. “He’s got parvo, Randall. It doesn’t seem to be either of the two most dangerous strains since he’s not lying in your arms like a wet noodle. But he’s going to need intensive and constant care for a few days, which we can’t give him here. If this spreads, we’re going to have to put all the animals down. I’m sorry.”

“No,” Randall growled when Cameron went to take the pup from him. “Tell me what to do. I’ll take care of him. You can’t euthanize him.”

“Sheriff, he’s already been vomiting blood,” the vet said gently. “Even if you help him, there’s no guarantee he’ll make it.”

“I’ll take that chance, doc. I won’t just give up on him because he’s sick,” Randall stated firmly. He was a little shocked with himself that he was fighting so hard for the pup he’d just found. He had a feeling this dog had wiggled into more than just his shirt. “Please, Cameron? We’ve been friends for years. I’ve never asked you for anything, but I’m asking you now. Help me save him.”

The doc was quiet for a few minutes, searching Randall’s face and then the pup’s when he gave a whimper. “All right, I’ll do what I can, but I can’t make you any promises.”

“Fair enough,” Randall agreed. “What do we do?”

“Right now, I’m going to give him a shot to help with the nausea and put in an IV,” Cameron explained as he grabbed fresh gloves. He kept talking as he walked around the exam room and grabbed supplies. Randall watched in awe as the doc filled IV bags with all types of other fluid combinations. “He’s going to need this IV constantly for a few days. Today’s Friday, so I’ll stop over Sunday to see his progression and what we do next.”

“We’re going to make you all better, little guy,” Randall whispered in the pup’s ear. “We need to listen to what the doc says, and you be a good boy.”

The pup whimpered as the doc gave him a shot in his neck, twisting Randall’s heart. Then Cameron inserted an IV port into the dog’s leg, taping it down. “When you get him home, hook up one of the bags. Take it out only when you’re not watching him or he’s got to go out, okay?”

“You got it, doc,” Randall answered as he took the bag full of supplies. “We’ll see you Sunday.”

“Call me if he gets worse. You have the number to my cell,” Cameron said, giving them a weak smile. “Parvo works fast, Randall. I just don’t want to get your hopes up.”

“I know, but I have to try,” the Sheriff answered as he gave the doc a wave.

ADULT EXCERPT

“Hurry, Randall, please,” I whimpered as I moved my hips against his hand. “I want you inside of me when I come this time.”

“Just a little more, baby,” he said as he changed the way he touched me, wiggling his fingers back and forth instead of just rubbing that one spot. I kept my hands on his biceps as I stared up into his light green eyes as he took me to heaven. When he slid in a third finger, I arched my back and gasped. “Am I hurting you? I can go slower.”

“Doesn’t hurt.” I moaned as I pushed my hips down on his hand. “Feels amazing, Randall.”

“I want you to feel amazing during your first time,” Randall assured me, licking along my neck. “Your first time having sex should be amazing.”

“It is,” I panted, wanting to say more but coherent words escaping my mind.

“And we’ve not even gotten to the sex yet.” He chuckled as he pulled his fingers out of me. I groaned at the loss and almost empty feeling but got more excited when I saw what he’d be replacing them with. He pushed my legs up to my chest and placed my hands on my thighs. “Tell me if it hurts, and I’ll go slower, okay?”

“Okay, Randall,” I answered, nodding so I wouldn’t drool at the sight of his massive cock lining up with my hole. I did give pause for a moment as to how his at least ten inches would fit inside of me, but I trusted my mate. When he pushed the first inch in, I held my breath at the burning I felt shooting through my body.

“Breathe, baby, just breathe through the burn. It won’t last,” Randall said gently, and I did as he wanted. He worked another inch into me, moving his hips slowly so that each time he moved forward, I took more of his dick. “Almost there, Toby, and then it will be nothing but pleasure.”

“It’s just a little burn,” I replied, trying to take that look of concern off his face. “It’s worth it to be with you.”

“God, your ass is like heaven, so fucking tight.” He moaned as the last of him pushed into me. I was actually pretty proud of myself for being able to take someone that big my first time having sex. And Randall seemed to be enjoying it, so at least I was pleasing my mate. Randall kissed me passionately as he moved my legs to the side and then wrapped them around his hips.

“This is better than I’d ever thought it would be,” I said, gasping as he pulled out of me before thrusting back into me gently. Randall smiled widely at my assessment, and I felt myself blush. “Not the right thing to say during sex?”

“No, it’s perfect. It’s just most people wouldn’t be so open about what they were feeling during their first time with someone,” Randall answered, winking at me as he snapped his hips. I moaned loudly, loving the feeling of him inside of me.

He’d been right. There was no more burning, only more pleasure than I’d ever felt in my life. I lifted my hips to meet his thrust, and Randall seemed to like that. He groaned as he started taking me faster.

“That’s it, baby, just like that,” he grunted, and I was thrilled he liked it. I moved them faster as he did, wanting to make it as good for him as he was for me. “Oh, god, Toby. Fucking amazing, I’ve never felt anything like this.”

“Me either,” I panted, not trying to make a joke and just being honest with him. “I love the way you feel inside me.”

“I do, too, baby. Your sweet little ass is like heaven.” Randall moaned. He leaned back a little bit, and I had to slide my hands down his arms. But when he did, he hit that spot in me again, pegging it with each thrust. I’d heard about that sweet spot. I think all men did. But I’d never found it the few times I’d played with my own ass. “Come for me, Toby. I want to see my baby climax again from the pleasure I give him.”
