Through tragedy comes a heartfelt story of people over coming great odds (massive hurricane hitting lower NY).  Although maybe a typical story line for the author,  you still come to care for the characters and all that they go through. The book has some especially touching moments between the loss of good friends and the rekindling of new love.

Not only is this lovely story heartwarming, but we learn along the way.  Work at home, handsome but lonely man, Jack,  has adopted a sweet 7 Yr. old girl, Mia,  and they are settling into their new life.  Tyson works at the Animal shelter and loves his work.  He has a knack for finding perfect matches of people and pets.  When beautiful black man, Tyson sees the white guy and brown skinned girl, he goes over to help.  He figures there is a story there, and there is.  They adopt a dog, and in the process, little Mia gets to understand her adoption better.  The dog helps her tremendously to come out of her shell and begin to enjoy her life.  Meanwhile, Tyson and Jack are attracted to one another.  We get to see their inner struggles as they heal also.  Of course we get some terrific hot sexiness, too !  Different things are also happening, like the lack of funds for the shelter, so we get a great story to go along with the wonderful characters.
This tale is not extremely deep, but it's heartwarming and makes you feel good, with the M/M romance, the family formed and all are better off than when they began.
ENJOY !

Heartwarming just does not cover this story. You gotta love a girl that can stand on her own two feet and a guy that can appreciate that at the same time as telling her that it just is not going to happen on his watch. So many beloved faces and so much emotion and detail laid out in this story it lets you feel like a part of the whole thing. Love the action and drama pulled on every emotion.

Great read look forward to the next book

This is a great quick read, feel good story. The author takes you from anger due to a deep tragedy to forgiveness and love. It is inspiring and tells how one bad decision can affect so many lives for many years to come. I truly enjoyed this book and felt much love and pain for the two main characters. This story comes full circle with the power of one human making a difference in at least 40 lives. You will not be disappointed with this book.

This is a story about roots and the long journey back to them.  It's a story about family - about tragedy, about believing in life and about love.  Hazel Gaynor captured the depth and magic of this beautiful love story and the tragedy that befell so many on that fateful night when the Titanic went down

This book presents a beautiful yet tragic story about love.  Its threaded with sad, twisted, misguided love, with the love that only a parent has for their child, of the love two hurt souls find with each other, the love of a community and the love of a land and a way of life.  Most of all its a story of survivors and the endurance that can move beyond tragedy and hardship to find hope.  This is definitely a story that stays with you beyond the last page.  I highly recommend this book!

What a great read! Awesome story of Loss, love and forgiveness. Jena a girl who was set up to be an Olympian was struck by grief when her father died during a competition. Luke, a guy who lost a part of himself when his twin sister died. Both stricken by losses so great and not knowing how to pick up the pieces. Both end up at this ranch to heal. The love that that Jena and Luke found in each other was sweet and heartwarming. Together they were able to repair each other and be able to find a sense of peace. Jenas aunt and uncle were a great couple and understood what the two needed to find themselves again. The horses were a great addition to this book. Ive heard that they can be healers and in this case they were. Both the tragedies that came along in this book were real. They felt very real to a sense that they could have happened to anyone, which I truly enjoyed about the book. I also enjoyed the different perspectives and narrations. There was no sex in this book, which is okay because I don't believe that it needed it. The book was sweet and almost innocent even though the story did elude to the characters having sex. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who wanted to read something sweet, heartwarming and ultimatelyhealing.

A story that was heartwarming and heartbreaking all at the same time. This novela showed the bond that was possible between man and beast (heartwarming) and the destruction that resulted from that bond - in both the animal and human world (heartbreaking).

I have had this book on my Kindle for months. I purchased it on the recommendation of a Goodreads author. This story pierced my heart, it was sweet and tender and tragic and beautiful at the same time. I went through quite a few tissues while reading it and felt great satisfaction at the end. The heroine, Alix, suffers a tragic loss during the story, one that I have had as well, so the story was even more poignant to me.

When I get to work on Monday, I will recommend it to my co-workers, I know they will love it like I did.  I will give them fair warning to have the hankies ready, they will be needed.

Thanks, Ms. Allred, for a lovely, lovely read.

I loved "Easy", as told in Jacqueline's POV and was eager to read the story in Lucas's (Landon's) POV.  This story of such unimaginable tragedy evokes so much emotion and love for the main character.  The love that he needs and ultimately finds is heartwarming and deserved.  The author really writes in a manner that has you feeling every emotion the characters feel. Highly recommended!

Even if you haven't ever adopted a pet or been involved in animal rescue, you will be deeply moved by Jenny Karns book Baby Boy Phoenix, a Tale of Rescue, Love and Second Chances. This is a beautifully written story full of tragedy, compassion and joy.  Ms. Karns main character is Phoenix, a much abused Shi Tzu, whose first lucky move, though it may be hard to believe, was to wind up in an animal shelter, from where he was  rescued by a group called Leave No Paws Behind.  Phoenix was in such terrible shape that there was much doubt whether or not he would survive. With the love and attention of his rescuers and his veterinarians, he did survive and go on to be adopted by Ms. Karns and have a life that most of us would envy!

Baby Boy Phoenix will make you cry and laugh and hopefully gain more compassion for the less fortunate who ask nothing but to love and be loved.  May all of us be as lucky as Phoenix and have someone as loving as Ms. Karns care enough to tell our story.
