Synopsis

First in a fresh contemporary romance series from award-winning debut author Debbie Burns.

Every heart has a forever home.

Megan Anderson loves the animals at her no-kill shelter. She’ll do anything for them—even go toe-to-toe with a handsome man who’s in way over his head. She’ll help him sort out his troubles, but getting too close to an adorable puppy’s human counterpart? Been there, done that, got burned.

When Craig Williams arrived at the local shelter for help, he didn’t expect a fiery young woman to blaze into his life. But the more time they spend together, the more he realizes it’s not just animals Megan is adept at saving—she could be the one to rescue his heart.

Soon, Craig and Megan find that the magic of unconditional love can do anything…even lead to their forever home.

Review

I have said this before but I am a sucker for any book that has dogs in it and this one has not one but MANY dogs since Megan runs an animal shelter. The biggest plus is how much it brings shelters to the front and gives the reader a look into how shelters operate and that it is not easy or cheap to run them and perhaps donations will be made after reading this book!

Megan and Craig are destined to be together but they don’t know it at first….Craig has baggage from his first marriage and he has 2 children. Megan was engaged before and his some issues after watching her parent’s marriage and her mother’s subsequent remarriage when her father dies. This leaves her with a lot of questions that she has let sit and fester somewhat instead of addressing them head on until she finds herself in a situation and has to have that talk with her mom. So as you can imagine there will be miscommunication between Craig and Megan and mostly because they don’t know they can be honest with each other.

I thought that many parts of this story was sweet with a little spice from Craig and Megan’s intimate relationship. There may be a 10 year age difference but when it comes to matters of the heart that really doesn’t matter much, we love who we love despite all. Megan develops good relationships with Sophie and Reese (Craig’s children) but they don’t know she is dating their dad which is ok because it doesn’t put any pressure on any of them to like each other for any reason other than liking each other for who they are and not because they might “have” to like each other.

Overall very enjoyable and a fun read.  We give it 4 paws up
