Keifer loves his job as a vet and the animals, the dogs especially, love him back. That might have something to do with Keifer’s little family secret; every month, he shifts into a wolf.
Felix has lived next door to Keifer for almost a year. Still recovering from the breakup of his last relationship, he hasn’t done anything but watch the sexy little vet. That all changes on the day Felix asks Keifer out for dinner and ice cream. It’s not long before the two men discover they’re compatible both in and out of bed, and they’re soon spending every spare minute together.
The only problem is Keifer’s shift during the full moon. He wants to tell his lover the truth, but is afraid, so instead, he comes up with an excuse for why he isn’t available. When Felix learns the truth, the question is whether he can accept all of Keifer…the man and the wolf, or turn away forever.
The premise for The Dog Next Door isn’t exactly original, but it’s still cute and makes for an enjoyable, quick afternoon read. The beginning scenes where Felix and Keifer get to know each other and go on their first date is fun (I loved the ice cream scene) and filled with realistic bantering dialogue. That goes for the final scenes when Felix discovers a strange ‘dog’ has turned into his missing lover, as well. I enjoyed those portions of the story very much. The sex, as always with a Sean Michael book, is hot, intense and well written; my only problem is the quantity that heavily weighs down the middle of the book, leaving me feeling a little adrift, plot-wise.
