A really cute fast feel good read. A hunky Italian Firefighter stud and a kindergarten teacher. There is definitely a deeper note in this book and how people, hopefully get past things that have happened to them in their early years. I'm not a big fan of the switching povs tho. I still really liked the story premise, cos who doesn't love a firefighter. Having lived in Ft Worth the descriptions were very familiar

Super cute read. Very short story that just makes you smile. I haven't read any of the Paw Enforcement books & while I assume the characters mentioned had previous books I didn't feel lost.

I am going to check out more in the series.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Love Unleashed is a short, cutesy romance between a firefighter and a teacher. While I found the story a bit cheesy overall, it is sweet and enjoyable.

The plot is predictable for sure, but this isn't a romantic suspense book, so predictability isn't really a problem. Jessica, an adorable kindergarten teacher, swoons hard for the hottie fireman, Louie. Louie falls hard for Jessica too and switches shifts so he can put on a fire safety demo at the school where Jessica teaches. Romance ensues. Both of them have a sad past and not sharing that past is what creates the tension of the story. Overall, not my favorite trope because it always seems immature. Throw in the Dalmatian puppy wandering around the playground, and you have the trifecta of cute animal, hot guy, and sweet girl!

An adorable dog, a sweet, caring kindergarten teacher, and a smoking hot firefighter combine to give you a sweet, fast contemporary romance in Love Unleashed!

I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

Jessica Bellingham is trying to wrangle her kindergarten class and catch the Dalmatian puppy running loose on the school property when she meets fireman Louie DeLuca when he comes to teach the students about fire safety. Will a secret from her past derail her four-alarm romance? There are no spoilers here you just have to read what is Jessica's secret from her past will it derail her and Louie's romance?

This book is part of Diane Kelly's Paw Enforcement Series which I absolutely love!!!! If you are looking for a book with a great plot, well developed characters and a hint of mystery this book is for you!!!!

As usual Diane Kelly had me laughing aloud!!! I've read a number of her mysteries, and I was delighted by this change of pace. The characters are lovable from the kindergarteners to the pets. The descriptions of Louie and his fellow buffed firemen should add a little spice to this read for anyone who appreciates male eye candy. Although that might not make it a bit too warm as a beach read. I hoe Kelly will write more books outside her usual genre!

A cute firefighter and kindergarten teacher story is found in Love Unleashed by Diane Kelly. The characters are normal people who have traits that are admirable as well as likable. The attraction between Louie DeLuca and Jessica Bellingham is instant with Louie pulling some strings to see Jessica again after meeting in a coffee shop line. Then the puppy running around the school adds to the interest in the story as Louie and Jessica finding a stronger connection.


The story flows easily with wit and humor. However, there is some unusual wording explaining how meeting Louise made Jessica feel at the beginning of the story. I guess it stood out to be since I have never heard it put quite that way. Still, it is just one instance.

Overall, it is a sweet, lighthearted, enjoyable romance, with normal people minimum drama and a cute puppy.

Diane Kelly's latest addition to her Paw Enforcement series "Love Unleashed" tells the story of kindergarten teacher Jessica Bellingham and firefighter Louie DeLuca's developing a relationship. Kelly changes point-of-view back and forth between the two main characters with each chapter. Unfortunately Kelly does not write very well from a man's point of view. Most of the story is "told" rather than shown and is all done in first person which in itself is a very limiting technique with lots of thoughts and narrative but very little dialog between characters. The insertion of a dog into the story seems to be an afterthought to line up with the theme of the series.

I thoroughly enjoyed Kelly's previous novel, "Paw and Order". In my opinion "Love Unleashed: was written more in Harlequin-romance style with way too much crass sexual references for me. "Love Unleashed" was a huge disappointment.

I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Cute albeit predictable romance. I'd not read earlier books in this series so I didn't have any preconceptions about the characters, Jessie and Louie are both people you'd like to meet and who you'd like to have a happy ending. This is a very fast read (it's short) but it's a nice way to while away a few hours. Thanks to net galley for the ARC.

This is a great book; this book is part of the Paw Enforcement series written by Diane Kelly. Between wrangling her rambunctious kindergarten class and trying to catch an elusive Dalmatian pup who’s been hanging around the playground, teacher Jessica Bellingham can hardly seem to catch her breath. And when hot, hunky fireman Louie DeLuca arrives to teach the children about fire safety, she just might need mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Things heat up quickly, igniting a passion the two would gladly allow to consume them. But will their romance become a four-alarm blaze, or will a dark secret from Jesse’s past threaten to cool things off for good? This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises. I am looking forward to reading the next book by this great author. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

Love Unleashed, is a cute, sexy, light book to read. Both Louie and Jessica share a horrible childhood experience. Jessica is afraid that here will repulse him so she keeps him at arm's length as long as she can. Louie is such a sweet, open man. So I'm not sure why she felt that she couldn't open up to him right away. If only more men were like him. Hmmmmmm

Sexy fireman? Check. Hot blooded Italian? Check. Can cook Mama's recipes? Check. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Lt. Hottie Pants. She's a kindergarten teacher with lots of energy and a huge creative side without a mean bone in her body. The two instant zing on a random coffee encounter and later at a not-so-random school assembly. The chemistry is instant, easy and hot. A pleasant read I can't remember anybody swearing, definitely more of a behind closed doors sex book and amazingly it was a wonderful read full of banter and sweet nothings. This was my first book by Kelly and although this is a short spinoff of the Paw Enforcement series there was no need to read the other books. But, I will now. I received a copy from Netgalley and wrote my review voluntarily.

This is a fun, quick read that I just loved. It's a Paw Enforcement novel (novella?), but its involves characters on the periphery of the series' main characters, however fans will be happy to know that Blast makes an appearance.

While this book touches on a tough subject, fire safety, it is told with a light touch. This is a feel good novel that made me smile. I loved the characters and hope they show up in future books.

Fans of the genre will love this novel and will want to put at the top of their tbr. The author is on my must read authors' list.

Love Unleashed is a sweet spinoff into the firefighter side of the Paw Enforcement series.
Fireman Lieutenant Louie DeLuca works out of the same house as Seth, Frankie and Blaze. He is tired of women hitting on him just because he has a hot bod. Being in shape is part of the job it isn’t who he is.
Jessica Bellingham is a cute kindergarten teacher with more curls than she knows what to do with. She loves her job and her life and she would love to share it with someone. The attraction between the two is instant and super hot but they both have secrets. Will those secrets keep them apart?
Yes, the whole thing is terribly predictable but these characters are so lovable and real you just have to find out how they are going to overcome and get together. It may take a little Stinker of a pup. I really enjoyed this quick, sweet read.
You don’t have to have read any of the Paw Enforcement stories to enjoy this one but if you enjoy this one you may want to check them out. I love them.

A charming quick read that'll leave you with a smile. The story is fun, a bit quirky when it comes to one spotted puppy, and romantic involving a handsome firefighter and adorably cute Kindergarten teacher. There is a message contained within the story that holds a deeper emotional experience.

Ms Kelly has a wonderful way of drawing her readers into her stories and entertaining them with her quick wit and sweet, yet intriguing characters. I'm a fan of each of her series and love that she has ventured out into a totally different arena.
