This was an enjoyable read. Evie Jones gained independence when she got her service dog, trained to help her through her seizures. She now works for an organization that trains and matches service dogs with people in need. Jake broaden’s daughter, Sam, tricks him into meeting with Evie, and ultimately talks him into getting a dog to help manage her epilepsy. Jake and Evie’s start isn’t friendly, and both fight their attraction to each other. Jake’s been burned by his ex-wife, and doesn’t want to put himself out there again, and Evie’s family has put her down her whole life, so it’s hard for her to believe Jake would want her. The book was funny at times and touching at times, especially the found-family moments. Some of the wrap-up felt a little too sitcom perfect, but I liked the dialogue and relationship build-up. (8)
It was a cute read. Two magazine writers in conflict. Her children set up dates for her. She’s newly divorced with a tool of an ex. I didn’t feel the intense chemistry but I liked the banter. Both main characters felt a little cardboard to me. The book was nothing special but it was enjoyable. (7)
