I am so glad that the author decided to write this short detailing how Marsha, Greg's friend, and a high-ranking, long-term officer of Tallahassee's animal control, rescued Parker from Howell, the insane man who had kept him in a cage for two years. Granted, this was difficult to read, but I really thought having this insight made my appreciation of Greg and Parker's story so much more.

"He’s tired. He’s in pain and so weak he can barely stand, even just long enough to piss. He knows that he’s in real danger of being murdered. BadMan is getting worse, his beatings more vicious, but at this point Parker could not do what the man wants him to do even if he knew how. As real as the memories of being a man are to him, Parker cannot remember what it feels to walk on two legs, or see colors he knows exists. With a whine, he sets his head down on his paws and waits for the mercy of death, however painful it might be in the coming."
(Broke my heart!)

Just a glimpse into what thousands of animal control officers deal with on a daily basis in America is enough to bring tears to my eyes. Those individuals are true heroes and Marsha, along with her team and the vet, showcase the finest of what human compassion and caring is all about. It broke my heart but also made me so happy to see Parker's rescue, and because I've already read 'Parker's Sanctuary', I know how much better life gets for Parker.fantasy-paranormal-science-fiction free m-m ...more3 s Achim1,202 77

Difficult to rate because it's more an extended prologue of the next book. No inkling about romance and if you didn't already read book 1 you might only read a story about the rescue of a badly treated dog.1-urban-fantasy-paranormal 3-pn-shifter x-free ...more2 s Tully VincentAuthor 3 books83

OMG... I am so glad the next book is out because I have to start it NOW. Love both of these characters already and totally hooked into their story!dark1 Pup Loki26

4.5 out of 5

Y'know, I was kind of cranky about how The Protector went (thus my 3.25 rating) but I loved the world-building so much I thought I'd give this a try to see if I want to move on to book 2. Well, I'm hooked. You can only do so much in 25 pages but it picks up neatly (though tacitly) from one of the plot threads in The Protector and sets things up nicely for Parker's Sanctuary. Which I bought right after reading this :-) I guess that's a pretty good endorsement right there!m-m-romance m-m-shifters1 Jesslan Rose1,126 43

Rescued By Cooper West

For a book that's supposed to be a prequel it didn't say much about the story behind the Guardsmen. I haven't yet read any of the Guardsmen series so I was hoping to understand more about the world before doing so. It basically shared nothing other than a dog was being abused and it was a shifter, but it never shifted so we got no background of his story. Unsure if I'll go on and start the series at this point.books-own-ebooks mm-shifter1 Pamela Cunningham698

This is the prequel to Parker's Sanctuary .

This is a interesting start too a new M.M human Shifter series since this is just the prequel there is not a lot of back story . All we know is that Parker who is a shifter was captured by a unstable human who has severely abused him Parker knows that if he doesn't find a way too escape he won't make it . Just when Parker thinks there's no hope dog rescue is called by his owner's neighbor although it's a tricky rescue Parker is saved . Know it's up too the vet that he was brought to go help heal him and maybe Parker can find a good human to car for him and love him . Debby1,003 1 follower

Ok read

This book was interesting and had the potential to be great but the author ended the book too soon. The characters development is fair, the plot is slow paced with room for growth Andrea2,798 15

A great little short story. I love the author's writing style and look forward to reading Parker's Sanctuary because I'm already invested in these characters. Diane Dannenfeldt3,772 72

Great introduction to the next pair, but a horrible beginning for Parker.0-50_pgs m-m pnr Debra Lamey409 6

Great lead in.

Great lead in to The Protector. Makes me want to read more. I would recommend this book to anyone. Thanks Regis894 4

Absolutely loved this!2019 CB3,187 6

I enjoyed the different take on the shifter/bond theme. Found the series to be intriguing, sexy and very entertaining.ku Elayne983

This is the Prologue to Parkers Sanctuary and I loved reading it and knowing that I'd downloaded both books together and could go from this delightfully Angst filled First Chapter really straight to the main event. I'm so pleased to see more from the Guardsmen world. Leanne121 30
