Jennifer Garcia's Review of Dog Gone, Back Soon by Nick Trout

Dog Gone, Back Soon by Nick Trout

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cyrus is a wonderful character and this was a great story. A romance that was very different than what I had expected. This was so much fun, as Dr. Mills diagnosed animals. I found it interesting and exciting, especially since I'm a huge dog fan.

Cyrus Mills was a reclusive, curious, analytical, nosy man, and movie buff that solved incredible health mysteries. I loved the way his mind worked and being inside it made for a great read. Most of the time, his thoughts were inappropriate but hilarious. And Cyrus was not the only awesome character, there were so many more.

There was a bit of romance in the book, which was a nice surprise. However, I honestly believe the story would have been just fine without it.

Trout told an amazing story and I recommend it to anyone that loves a great cast of characters, dogs, interesting veterinarian cases, solving medical mysteries, and an amazing hero.

Summary:

When Dr. Cyrus Mills returned home after inheriting his estranged father's veterinary practice, The Bedside Manor for Sick Animals, the last thing he wanted was to stay in Eden Falls, Vermont, a moment longer than absolutely necessary. However, the previously reclusive veterinarian pathologist quickly found that he actually enjoyed treating animals and getting to know the eccentric residents of the tiny provincial town-especially an alluring waitress named Amy.
So Cyrus is now determined to make Bedside Manor thrive. Not an easy goal, given that Healthy Paws, the national veterinary chain across town, will stop at nothing to crush its mom-and-pop competitor. And the rival vet practice isn't Cyrus's only competition; a handsome stranger shows up out of nowhere who clearly has a mysterious past with Amy. To top it off, Cyrus finds himself both the guardian of a very unique orphaned dog and smack in the middle of serious small town drama.
This charming sequel to The Patron Saint of Lost Dogs is a wild and delightful ride through one jam- packed week, where Cyrus must figure out how to outsmart the evil veterinary conglomerate, win back Amy's heart, solve several tricky veterinary cases, find a home for an orphaned dog, and detangle himself from an absurd case of mistaken identity. DOG GONE, BACK SOON brims with Nick Trout's trademark humor, charm, and captivating animal stories, and is proof that all dogs, lost or not, on four feet or two, deserve a second chance.

Jennifer Garcia's Review of Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover

Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover

  My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Every single Colleen Hoover book makes me feel, feel so much. But this one, I think, is by far my favorite. Not only is this an awesome story with a love triangle, she crossed the originality of writing by pairing the book with a music cd. Yes, Ridge and Sydney are musical, and they write lyrics together. So, when you read the words to the songs, you can actually listen to them. Clever, right?

But, truly, that's not even the best part, Ridge is the best part. He's original from any other character I've ever read. All the characters are quite incredible, even the roommates, the side characters, are so a part of the story. The characters and their situations are original. The plot is original! Sydney, the heroine, is respectable, honest, and more than likable. But Ridge is loyal, lovable, amazing, and just true to heart. You'll fall in love with the story, with the characters, and just the feels that it leaves you with.

 Colleen really did it with this one. I mean, she really did it. I suggest this to everyone that loves music, love triangles, sexy heroes, honest heroes, beautiful heroes and heroines then you'll love this. Also, I suggest the cd by Griffin Peterson that goes with this book. His voice is incredibly soulful and the music is beautiful. My favorite song is I'm in Trouble. Love it!

Rockin' Reviews: Kahlen Aymes

Kahlen Aymes is an award-winning author of sizzling hot, deeply moving contemporary romance. Her stories are filled with intense love, passion, angst and emotion that breathes life into her characters and leaves her readers captivated. Here is what one of her avid readers had to say about her book, The Future of Our Past (Book #1 Remembrance Trilogy).

I finished reading this book today and I'll make My first video review on it via YouTube later on. This book was amazing and it felt like My best Buddy wrote it because Kahlen have been amazing to me on here and Twitter. She's a jewel and I can't believe she isn't more well known throughout the world. EL James needs some serious writing lessons from this lady. Ryan's love letter to Julia at Christmas had me at tears and I just couldn't believe how any woman could write such a letter in a males place. I just adore this kind of writing. 100% thumbs up for Ryan and Julia.
