S.E.X. Review~ How to Walk Like a Man by Eli Easton

Deputy Roman Charsguard survived Afghanistan where he lost his best friend—his K-9 handler James. Roman was a military dog until two years ago when he developed the ability to shift into a human. It’s not easy to learn how to be a man. He found a place to live in Mad Creek, a haven for the secret world of dog shifters. Finding a reason to live has been harder. That is, until a certain human walks into the Mad Creek Sheriff’s office and starts making trouble.

Matt Barclay has the worst luck. First he was shot in a SWAT drug raid, then he was sent as DEA investigator to Mad Creek, a little town in the California mountains. Matt’s job is to keep a lookout for illegal drug farms, but nobody in the town wants him there. And then there’s Roman, Matt’s erstwhile baby-sitter. He’s the hottest guy Matt’s ever seen, even if he is a bit peculiar. If the town doesn’t kill him, sexual frustration just might.

The town is counting on Roman to prevent Matt from learning about dog shifters, Matt’s counting on Roman to be his work partner and tell him the truth, and Roman’s trying to navigate love, sex, and a whole lot of messy human emotions. Who knew it was so complicated to walk like a man?

I absolutely loved Roman in Eli Easton’s How to Walk Like a Man. First of all, Roman was a GSD~ a dog close to my heart, as I have two of them. Additionally, Roman’s almost child-like wonder about so many things made him endearing, a desire to wrap him in cotton and keep him safe.

Drugs marched closer to the town of Mad Creek, and Sheriff Lance, Roman, and the rest of the town needed to defend their part of the world. Also enter DEA agent Matt, who was assigned to the Sheriff’s office in the hopes of shutting down the drug operation. But, the town has a secret to keep and Matt could blow it out  of the water.

Roman and Matt were super sweet and a sexy couple. The book was not riddled with sex, but was sexy. A simple kiss brought tenderness yet depth, not only to the budding relationship between Roman and Matt, but the entire storyline.

As with the first book, the secondary characters added substance, levity, and spice. Ms. Easton’s take on quickened dogs was refreshing and imaginative. She perfectly melded the canine species with the human, so that in any form, each character stood out.

Definite S.E.X.
