GOOD MORNING FROM READER ROUND UP

 Good rainy morning my peeps , its a great day to curl up and read here on the farm yes it is raining yet again. Today I have for you another book from one of my favorite authors R.L Merrill and her book PINUPS AND PUPPIES .


                            BOOK BLURB



Marianne Cross has lived a life of structure and purpose for the past twenty-four years. Now reluctantly retired from the Air Force, her life is missing those two things that have always defined her. As she struggles to decide where her future lies, she finds peace and solitude flying her vintage airplane. When an opportunity with the organization Pawsitive Flight comes along, allowing her to combine flying with a purpose, she’s interested in the possibilities—especially those concerning the owner of Goth Dog Rescue, Dinah Shaw. She’s tough, beautiful, and she makes Marianne want things she hasn’t allowed herself to want in a long time.

Dinah Shaw is happy with her life’s mission, connecting needy pups with families that will love them. It’s hard but fulfilling work that completely satisfies her—until she meets Marianne Cross. Part of Dinah is more than ready to hop in the jump seat and show the shy pilot a good time, but the other part isn’t interested in another woman who’s just passing through, looking for Ms. Right-For-Now. She’s been there and done that. Until she discovers what she wants to do with her life, Marianne is a possible flight risk Dinah can’t afford to trust.

Flying rescue dogs to their furever homes may give Marianne new purpose, and even a home of her own in the process…if Dinah can risk her heart on a little fly-by-night romance.



                        MY REVIEW 

 When retired air force pilot Marianne is asked by her niece to fly a mother dog and her puppies to the Gothic dog rescue. She decides to help out but what she didn't know is that she was going to meet a dynamo named Dinah who might just help heal the wounds of the past and give Marianne the future she wants and needs . 


 Ok lets talk dog rescues and pin up girls. Marianne is by the books , following orders from her commanding officers. She likes structure and is still trying to decide what to do with her life after her retirement. She needs fun in her life and Dinah might be the one to do it. Dinah is well lets call her a free spirit ,loves dogs and rockabilly style. She is well you can call her a pin up girl but there is a sadness to her that she hides pretty well. They both don't want to get hurt again so they both say the wrong thing at different times . I truly like both of these characters they are perfectly flawed but trying to heal from the past that hurt them. I love how they are total opposites of each other but they are more a like then they realize. 


   This is a fun read from the author. She takes such a sweet story and adds a twist to it that had me finishing the book in an evening . It is a f/f story and the main characters are well written . I do wish it was a little longer cause I really wanted to see where these two would end up . Over all I truly liked this story and love reading this author. A good read for your pool side reads this summer .
