Humorous and Heartwarming

I couldn't put the book down once I began reading the pieces. They are sufficiently short to be able to read in a single sitting, but each is complete in itself. The stories are humorous and life affirming, each with that tone of reality that makes the reading both engaging and enjoyable. As a poet myself, I liked the style and tone of the included works--uplifting and joyous. A pleasure to read.

A delightful book.  An older couple with many cultural differences, but similar hearts, find love in a small community where prejudice still lives. The characters are well drawn, and I could not stop reading until I had learned what happened to them.  The humor in the book had me laughing out loud.

Sheriff Noah Wheeler decided long ago that commitment wasn't his style until he finds himself at the side of the highway with Cassie Tremont, a woman about to deliver twins!

Noah sees himself as the protector of this vulnerable new family.  Cassie is not so sure about that.  She was badly hurt by her ex-husband and is determined to raise her daughters alone.

This is a heartwarming story of two commitment shy characters who belong together.  The secondary characters and the support group of Noah's Ex's add an additonal touch of humor to this book.

It is a heartwarming story of a German immigrant family. It is at times funny and then you find yourself shedding a tear. It is about the ways of a family and continuing with the next generations and family values. An enjoyable read. I would recommend it.

Richard Alther sets a humorous stage for this book.  However, it is heartwarming to see how his character works through life to find his soulmate.

This was a cute story that focuses on the importance of family. Although she has very little as far as worldly possessions Grace is a devoted single mother who does her best to care for her son Christopher. Life is not easy for them but they are happy.

When Dr. Evan Manning gives her a job offer she can't refuse Grace settles in the small town of Red River and for the first time in her life finds herself surrounded by friend who care about her. The attraction between Grace and Dr. Manning is undeniable but they are not equally matched and want such different things out of life. What follows is a cute heartwarming story of love.

This reads fine as a stand alone but there were times when it was obvious I was missing back-story which was given in other books in the series. This book had more language than I like to read and the door didn't close quite as quickly as I like but otherwise this was a fun book to read.

Rating: 4 Stars - Great Book

Content: Language including 1 use of the F word, fade to black sex with the door closing after clothes have come off.

This book is funny and fast paced, with an engaging, heartwarming story line. I highly recommend it for kids ages 8 - 12.

This humorous look at small town life is moving, funny, and at times sad, as our hero, Lewis Hinton, struggles to deal with the news that he was adopted. Since hearing the news on his fifteen birthday he's been self-absorped, but his life is to become even more complex on his 16th birthday when his adopted mother gives him a letter that was in the basket with him.

This book would appeal to middle school through high school, and is very tame by modern Young Adult standards. A fun, touching story, which I hope will have a sequel.

I found myself smiling and laughing out loud at some of the antics that Ceecee's mom would perform. The heartbreak of a little girls disappointment and the happiness and peace she comes to know, makes this book such a delight to read. I loved the characters (mostly women) and the ways that they were intertwined in a beautiful Savannah lifestyle. The author has a wonderful flair for describing the drama in the lives of these women that puts the reader right there with the characters. Full of emotion and wonder, but also a pleasant and comfortable story. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to more writings from Beth Hoffman.

I really enjoyed this book. It contained the right amount of comical mixed with serious. The tone is light-hearted, but the book is not "fluffy" or lacking depth.  It is real life and was a very enjoyable read.  I highly recommend it.

Heartwarming story with a great cast of characters.  I hope this isn't the last we read about the Taggerts and McGreggors!

Heart warming and very funny. I laughed out loud at some scenes and my heart actually hurt for Josh and Megan in other scenes. Grams stole a lot of the scenes. Wonderful characters that warm your heart.

  Please don't confuse this book with a children' s book with the same title

I laughed from Chapter 1.  I giggled from Chapter 2.  And all the way through.

My first thought was this book is just gonna be a chuckle.  Is there any depth?  I found it to be light-heartened and fun.

I enjoyed the characters.  The hero is a professional baseball player described as a abrasive.  The heroine is described as quirky.

And, yes there was depth as Cal struggles with his feelings of insecurity and with forgiveness.

From the back cover . . .
Pro baseball pitcher Cal Crawford is not a dog guy. When he inherits his deceased mothers elderly dog, Tippy, hes quick to call on a pet-sitting service.

A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR
"There's just something about a dog, isn't there? What is it about these loyal, quirky, laughable, loving creatures that turn our lives upside down? I've been honored to share my life with many canine companions and each one has taught me a thing or two (or three.) In this novel, you'll meet Tippy, a dog who seems to be able to grasp the important things in life much better than his human companions. I'm convinced that God gave us dogs so we can have some adorable reminders about what unconditional love looks like. I hope you enjoy your travels with Tippy!"

Such a cute story. I love reading about non tradition romances. There is humor, heartache, and a happy ending that will make you feel warm and fuzzy inside after reading!

The adventures of Ace Jones and her slightly out-there set of friends were both laugh-out-loud funny and heartwarming.  It is definitely a feel-good novel, especially for those of us who know that crazy isn't always a bad thing.

Right from the first page of this endearing story, it is obvious the author, Annarita Guarnieri is a tireless animal lover.

She tells this story from the point of view of Shine, an abandoned Belgian Shepherd puppy. We follow Shine's life from the terrible moment of her abandonment in a ditch, to her days in the shelter, and then to her wonderful new home with the author.

In an entertaining and easy-to-read style, we see how Shine adapts to her new home, her loving "mum" and her collection of cats and various other animals. We feel as if the author is entirely inside Shine's head, as she so vividly evokes her fears, her needs, and her warm personality.

Shine was one of the lucky ones at the shelter. She ended up having a wonderful life, and no dog could have wished for a more caring owner.

This story is a special one of love, trust and friendship, and I would highly recommend it to animal-lovers, not only as humorous entertainment, but also as a lesson in taking responsibility for animals and their welfare.
