I received no compensation from the author for this honest review.
Book 4 in the Mad Dog series.
After rescuing Markus and Brian from the clutches of the sadistic Councilwoman, Shanna Crystal, the Mad Dogs are forced on R & R. None of them are happy and none of them want or need 'rest & relaxation' but they have no choice.
The campground, Dad T's, is a gay soldier's wet dream for R & R but the Dogs barely have a chance to enjoy all it offers when everything they know about the supernaturals that inhabit the world is turned upside-down.
A leisurely run in the Ocala National Forest turns their R & R into a mission. A mission that almost takes out the Delta Unit. Permanently.

One of her newest releases, Highest Bidder, is the sequel to Not For Sale and became available August 2013.

Novel Breakdown
I would like to first thank the author for allowing me to be a beta reader for this book. I absolutely love the Mad Dogs series.
Here is what I felt about the fourth book.
Characters: 4.5
The complexity of the Mad Dogs keeps growing as does their backstory. With the introduction of characters from another of Ms. Cothern's series, the hotness continues.
Plot: 5
I got my heart strings jerked around a little bit with this book. I cannot say more because that takes us into spoiler territory and I am not one to kiss and tell.
Flow: 4
Cothern's flow is spot on and always a pleasure to read.
Believability: 4.5
Nothing I can say that I have not said previously in this area.
Sexual Tension: 5
Foreplay central! And yet it didn't drive me crazy this time.
Romance: 4
This book had a little more "romance" to it which is nice because I wanted to see progression in that depart for Brian and Markus.
