Healing Hearts




GIVEAWAY

DALEY, MARGARET
HEALING HEARTS

Love's Healing Power

After surviving a tragic accident, little Madison Winters is in desperate need of comfort. And social worker Abbey Harris has the perfect solution. With the help of her cherished therapy dogs, Gabe and Cottonball, Abbey soon coaxes a smile from Madi - and her workaholic guardian.

Dominic Winters is heartbreakingly handsome and is hurting just as much as Madi. But it might take more than wagging tails to get the brooding businessman to open his heart. With the help of a matchmaking little girl and two sweet dogs, Abbey and Dominic may get a second chance at love.  Caring Canines: Loving and loyal, these dogs mend hearts.

My Review:

I know I'm going to love Margaret Daley's new series, Caring Canines. I love dogs and have been fascinated by various types of service dogs for a long time. Healing Hearts is the perfect story to start up the series. The dogs take their secondary character roles seriously and easily stole my heart. Therapeutic in real life, I think some of their calming charm worked its magic on me while I read.

Daley has written a powerful love story amidst the very real emotions following a tragic event. Madi has a power of hurt wrapped up inside her and Dominic is at a loss on how to help his little sister until he reluctantly lets Abbey and her menagerie into their lives. That's when the hurt of betrayal and loss finally begins to ease under the social worker's gentle insistence. This is such a true-to-life story with all its pitfalls and pain but laced with such hope that it can't help but conclude in a happy ending.

Readers note: It's also the perfect book to share with your four-footed friends! My dog Simba says it's pawsitively pawsome!
