PAWS FOR LOVE by Mara Wells - Review & Giveaway

 

"That's the thing about dogs. They don't need a reason to love you. They just do."

It's been fifteen years since Miami Beach high-school sweethearts Danielle Morrow and Knox Donovan have seen each other. The last time, Danielle had lost their baby and Knox was enlisting with the Marines. They never got to say goodbye.

Now Danielle runs foster care for retired racing greyhounds and works with her father, Dr. Morrow at his clinic. She has two rescues of her own and she guards her heart from ever loving again.

Knox quietly sneaks into town and starts working construction with his two brothers. He has a leg injury after surviving an IED in Afghanistan and regularly goes to therapy, hoping someday he'll be able to return to combat. He's much more hardened and protective of his heart, as well.

Both are secretly happy to see the other at the opening of the Fur Haven Dog Park. but there is still a lot of hurt and unspoken words between them. Both think the other doesn't want them, but nothing could be further from the truth.

PAWS FOR LOVE is all about second chances and recognizing your soul mate no matter how scary it is. Eventually Danielle and Knox try to give their relationship another chance, but is it too late? Have they hurt one another too much? 

I like the main characters of Danielle and Knox and their menagerie of quirky friends. I also appreciated that the book takes place where I live, in Miami. It was fun to recognize some of the locations used in the book.

PAWS FOR LOVE is the perfect book to wrap your heart around this Valentine's Day weekend.
