REVIEW:

Unleashed Melody by Julie Carobini is book seven in the Dragonfly Cove Dog Park series. Book one is Pick of the Litter and is a free download. It will give you a taste of what all of the books are about. We are also introduced to Leslie who is the breeder of a beautiful litter of yellow Labrador Retriever puppies. This series tells us the story of where all of the puppies wind up in their forever homes.

Unleashed Melody is the story of Melody and Willow. Melody is recovering from a break up and adopts Willow. She has moved to Dragonfly Cove and is managing a cute little Inn. The owner’s name is Ethan and he is a little hard to put up with. This man runs hot and cold. I have to hand it to Melody. I may not have lasted very long in her position. The job does come with a studio apartment.

I liked this book and the interaction with patrons and the residents of the town. We get to know them in different ways. That is one of the things I like about the series is that we see some of the same interactions from different eyes. Not so many that you feel like you are reading the same book over and over. Just enough to tie things together and to make the books feel cohesive. 

If you love series like I do, you should definitely download the first book and then start binge reading the rest of them. I had a hard time putting them down to read other books I committed to. It made me hurry back to them. Until next time…Happy Reading!

REVIEW:

Coming Home to Heel is the sixth book in the Dragonfly Cove Dog Park series by Jodi Allen Rice. I was blessed with being chosen to read all of the books in this series and review them. I will tell you right now all of them are 5 star books!

Leslie is the breeder and she breeds Labrador Retrievers. This litter is all yellows which is a bit unusual. I used to own a Lab and my understanding is that different colors usually pop up within the same litter. Since this is fiction and I have not been involved with Labs for many years, I am not an expert. This is so minor and did not take away from my total enjoyment of the series.

This is my first book by Jodi Allen Rice! I loved it and will be looking to see what else she has written. I would love to see what she does as an individual writer. The authors that have put out these series are all so awesome. I don’t know how their voices blend so effortlessly. I think for me that is part of why I love the series by multiple authors so much. I hope this is a trend that keeps on for many years to come.

This is the story of Nora and Charlie. Nora has lost her mom and just went through a divorce. Her mom left her a cottage in Dragonfly Cove along with the impending birth of a puppy whom she names Charlie. You will enjoy the journey that Nora and Charlie will take you on. I know I did!

If you read one of these books and enjoy it, you will absolutely want to read the others. They are books that give us hope and joy all in one. I urge you to download the first book as it is free and will give you a taste of each book in the series. I bet you won’t be able to resist! Until next time…Happy Reading!

REVIEW:

Loyal and True by Ev Bishop is the fifth book in the Dragonfly Cove Dog Park series. I have been truly enjoying this series and so far this is one of my favorites. You’ll see why in a few minutes.

First of all, you should go and download the first book in this series because it is FREE! You can’t go wrong on that price and after you have read that book you won’t be able to resist reading the rest of them. The first book is Pick of the Litter. It gives you a taste of what all the books are going to be about and an introduction to Leslie who is the breeder of this particular litter of Labrador Retrievers. 

Loyal and True is the story of Leo and her sister. They are going to run a bookstore together and raise two puppies together. Doesn’t that sound like a dream come true? Well her sister dies unexpectedly and leaves Leo to do it all herself. Leo can’t bring herself to backout on the puppies and she names them Loyal and True. You must read the book to find out the reason she named them that. It is not what you might think.

A bookstore and puppies and the bookstore is dog friendly! Is there anything better? If these are some of your favorite things, then this is a book that you will enjoy. It is so wonderful. Go download Pick of the Litter and then start binge reading because you’re not going to want to quit until you are done! Until next time…Happy Reading!

REVIEW:

Back in the Pack by Barbara Hinske is a wonderful addition to the Dragonfly Cove Dog Park Series. I think these authors are all striving to pull our heartstrings as far as they can. These books are so heartwarming and are just what we need to transition out of the holiday season into the long, cold winter months. I love lighthearted fun books after all of the busyness of the holidays. I find it hard to settle down to serious reading when we have had so much fun.

I think you could pick up any of these books and read them as standalones. I also think you would be depriving yourself of all the fun. I intentionally read these books as if I was a normal consumer of books. I read the prequel a while before I was able to start the next book. Let me tell you, I was so excited to jump right into this series. I have even had to make myself stop after each book to write my review so I would not  lose the excitement I felt for each one as I read it.

Back in the Pack is about Drew and Allie. Drew is a single father to Allie. He is adjusting to being alone and raising his daughter. Life is tough and he is also learning to cook. That is fun! 

I like sentimental books and the ones that make me shed a tear or two. If you are like me, I think you will really enjoy Back in the Pack by Barbara Hinske and all the other books in the Dragonfly Cove Dog Park Series. They would be great books for your nightstand and a little reading before bed. Until next time…Happy Reading!

SYNOPSIS:

A tale that will leave pawprints on your heart.

Recent widower Andrew Blake finds himself at a crossroads in the wake of his wife’s passing, desperately seeking solace for his grieving 8-year-old daughter, Allie. Faced with an unexpected opportunity to choose a puppy from a litter of yellow labs, Drew seizes the chance to bring a furry companion into their lives.

Little does Drew realize that Lily, the tall and gangly last pick of the litter, will lead them all to unimagined blessings. With the grace of second chances and the promise of new beginnings, Lily heals and opens their hearts.

Back in the Pack is a touching tale of resilience, the transformative power of companionship, and the beauty that emerges when one embraces the possibilities of a joyful tomorrow.

REVIEW:

Hearts Unleashed by Tammy L. Grace is the third book of the Dragonfly Cove Dog Park series. I am loving this series and made myself stop reading and start writing reviews before I forget the details of the book. I want to do the books justice and this particular book is a very heartwarming story. They all are in their own way but, this one hit my heart as a very special story. If you read Tammy’s books, you know the heart, emotion and the love she puts into her writing. I never have to read the synopsis of her books. I just jump right in head first for an experience I know is going to be one that sticks with me. This one isn’t any different. 

Marsha Warner adopts Earl. What an awesome name for a Lab! Ok, I’m partial to Labs. Earl is so smart but as you know puppies are full of fun and adventure. At least for them and not always for their furever family. They live up to their name of retriever. I was impressed at how quickly Marsha whipped Earl into shape. 

We meet other characters in this series while reading this book. One is Leo who runs her late sister’s book store and adopted two of the puppies. Then we meet Drew and his cute little daughter Allie. They all play important parts in this book. I can’t wait for you to read it. We meet a new character and he is a friend to Marsha. His name is Craig. I love when characters from other books by the author have appearances in the book you are reading. It is so nice to get glimpses of them from time to time.

If you like books about dogs, raising them from puppies, human relationships of all kinds then these books are for you. They will be a wonderful way to take some time for yourself to relax and enjoy the end of the busy holiday season. Until next time…Happy Reading!

REVIEW:

Collar Me Crazy by Kay Bratt is the second book of the Dragonfly Cove Dog Park series. Let me tell you, this book will make you mad and make you cry. I learned a lot reading this book. I am fortunate to be a regular reviewer for Kay and she has been very involved with dog rescues and volunteered for many years with a rescue group. Believe me when I tell you I didn’t take everything she wrote as truth. I actually quit reading and dove into research on my own. A good book makes you want to research a subject.

Emily adopts the first little Labrador Retriever and names her Daisy. She meets a sick little puppy at the dog park and bonds with the owner to help her get justice for the sick pet. In the process she meets Kuno and sparks begin to fly. You will find yourself rooting for justice. If you’re like me you’ll start your research. I had to know what is going on in the dog world out there!

I loved the characters in this book. The novice puppy owners and the fight for justice. I also enjoyed the budding relationship with Kuno that is threatened along the way because as we all know the wheels of justice move too slowly at times. Some of us are impatient and want instant results. 

I enjoyed the fact that I learned something while reading this book. I also learned something about some of our long standing institutions. Animal cruelty has to be handled differently. We can’t let these gentle beings be treated so horribly. 

I love Kay Bratt. Not only for the author that she is but for the person she is. She is an advocate for all mistreated beings. She is a lovely person inside and out and you can see that in her writings.

If this book sounds good to you, you will love the rest of the series. Save that Christmas money for a book series to relax with after all the hustle and bustle of the season. You won’t be sorry. Until next time…Happy Reading!

REVIEW:

Dragonfly Cove Dog Park is a brand new exciting series by some of my favorite authors and some new ones for me. I am looking forward to reading this series for a few reasons. I’ll tell you a few of them and you may find you are looking forward to reading these wonderful books yourself.

Book One is Pick of the Litter and is the prequel to the series. The first chapter introduces us to Leslie. She is the breeder of the litter which consists of nine puppies. In the following books we will read the stories of each puppy and the furever home they are adopted into. Leslie kind of ties it all together as she has a tiny part of every story.

This book also includes the first chapter of the following eight books. Right away we know where all the puppies wind up but, we don’t know the whole story. We learn that as we read each one. 

I wanted to ditch reading this book and just jump into the series since I received them all within a few days of each other. I was fortunate to be chosen to read all of the books. I’m a lucky girl indeed. But, I didn’t ditch the first book because it is important and I wanted to experience the series as all of the readers will. I even read a couple unrelated books before I took the dive into book two.

I am a couple of books in and I can already tell you that I can recommend this series to you wholeheartedly. It is emotional and pulls at all of those heartstrings. If you love dogs, this series is a must read. Pick of the Litter releases December 26, 2024. The rest of the books will be released on January 1, 2025. Looking for something to spend that Christmas money on? This series should be at the top of your list and on top of your nightstand. Until next time…Happy Reading!
