K-9 Companions #7
By Toni Shiloh
Jalissa Tucker wants NOTHING to do with firefighters and when she is forced to work with Jeremy Rider she can't think of a worse fate. But to save the city programs that are about to lose their funding she'll make an effort.
Jeremy Rider uses humor to cope with situations, and as a kid who was bullied he needed to laugh off the pain he felt. Having to work with Jalissa isn't high on his list of things to do but to save the program that gave him a safe place as a teen he'll do it.
It is interesting to see how both Jalissa and Jeremy have misconceptions about the other and how this translates into their present day interactions. I think of the two Jalissa seems the least likely to make a change as the story progresses. But having to work together and getting to understand the importance of the programs that mean something to others allow each to see the other in a new light.
Can pains of the past be overcome by working together? And when a long-held secret comes to light, everything they have been working towards could be destroyed. The greatest lesson that they need to learn is that forgiveness is a two-way street, and without it everyone suffers.
Now this book is part of the K-9 Companions series and this time we meet Flo. Flo is a Golden Retriever who is Jalissa's emotional support dog. Following her father's death, Jalissa suffered from panic attacks, and having Flo allowed her to move out of her mother's home and live an independent life. This gave Jalissa a career in that she worked at the local animal shelter. Her appreciation of all Flo gave to her made her want to help other animals find homes in which they could help others too.
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations, but that I provide my honest opinion ~ all thoughts expressed are my own.
About the Book:
