This book had a harder job, becuase if he was too dog-like, I was definitely going to by squicked by the romance, but not dog-enough, and I'm going to fail out of it yelling "that's not a conspecific behaviour!"Anyway, although this book did use the word 'alpha' a couple times, Roman was dog-like enough to make me believe in him as a former military dog, and smart enough it didn't feel like bestiality.
