BOOK 6                          BOOK BLURB

  Nora's life has been a series of heartaches and disappointments, from the loss of her beloved mother to enduring a loveless marriage for two long decades. But now, she's ready to break free from the shackles of her past and embrace a brighter future. With a fresh start awaiting her in the picturesque Dragonfly Cove, Florida, Nora sets out to rebuild her life, one step at a time.

Guided by her mother's final gift, a quaint cottage in need of tender love and care, Nora discovers the strength within herself to face the challenges that lie ahead. Little does she know that her life is about to take an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with an adorable Labrador retriever puppy named Charlie. With his mischievous spirit and boundless energy, Charlie becomes more than just a pet – he becomes Nora's loyal companion and her greatest teacher.

As Nora navigates the trials and tribulations of her new life, she finds solace in the company of a charming and supportive neighbor. Together, they embark on a journey of self-discovery, helping Nora regain her confidence and reminding her that love is worth taking a chance on. But just as things seem to be falling into place, Nora's estranged son reappears, bearing the weight of their broken relationship.

Determined to repair the bond with her son, Nora fights against the odds, using the lessons she's learned from Charlie and her newfound strength to bring her family back together. In a heartwarming tale of forgiveness, understanding, and the power of coming home, Nora discovers that healing is possible, even in the face of deep wounds.

                          MY REVIEW

   Nora is a transplant to Dragonfly Cove, taking possession of her mother's last gift to her. A quaint little cottage. Trying to get over the loss of her mother and the end of her marriage. She is out to start over again. She is determined to fix the relationship with her son after years of her husband poisoning him against her. She decides to get a puppy to help her with the loneliness. Charlie comes into her life and helps her start to heal . When out with Charlie she meets her neighbour a sweet man who is a landscaper and friend. Together with the friends from the dog park she is out to fix her problem with her son and repair her life and start over again.

   Nora has gone through so much when we meet her, you see her at her worst and not knowing what she should do. When she meets Charlie her life gets so much more exciting . She is such a sweet character that you just want to wrap up and hug her tight. Lance is a sweet man who is easy on the eyes . He is the ray of sunshine in her grief and such a good friend . I really like them together as friends and romantic pair. Her son William is well he is just so confused and so mean, he has actually no redeeming qualities on how he treats his mother. You really just want to slap him and knock some sense into his head. He does kind of redeem himself but boy does he have a long ways to go in that department. These characters are so well written you really get to watch them evolve into the best that they are.

  Reading this book is like coming home to our favourite people and their puppies . Each book is diverse and shows a group of friends that were brought together by all having a puppy. This book is actually one that made me sad and kind of angry with some of the characters. Like any good book the author may put her characters through a lot but they are redeemed at the end. They are fast reads that will have you reading through the cold snap. 

BOOK 7                        BOOK BLURB 

 

         Unleashed Melody, by award-winning author Julie Carobini, is the seventh book in the Dragonfly Cove Dog Park Series.

                          MY REVIEW 

  Melody Fisher is in Dragonfly Cove for a new start, she is trying to heal from a horrible breakup. When she starts her job she is doing well until she starts butting heads with widowed boss, Ethan Reed . Melody and Willow must try and find a way to make sure the inn is running smoothly and her ideas to fix the inn and not step on Ethan's toes . Willow will bring them together in more ways than one. They will find out their way into each others hearts with a tail wag or two to help them out.

  Melody is a sweet woman who has been through so much and she just wants to be of use at what she does best run an inn. She is so good at her job but she is also so frustrated with what to do. Ethan is well he needs a big hug and someone to listen to him for just a min. He is angry and frustrated he wants to start life again after his wife's death but just doesn't know how to do it . Willow is the cutest little one out there and she is a great little helper ever . These characters are so well written and you can just see them slowly fall in love 

   This is a story of second chance at love and this author can write a really good tale. Another story that will have you crying and laughing through out the whole book .  So lets head to the dog park.
