Book Description

In this delightful Christmas love story, Deputy Shawna Mallory finds Billy McCrae – a runaway boy sleeping in a mound of snow with an anxious puppy guarding him. He’s a sad child surviving a terrible existence until she puts a stop to it and becomes his foster parent. She’s drawn to the snarky kid and just wants his life to be happier, his and the stray mutt who won’t leave his side. Not that the boy cares about the dog… or her. Then she meets his father, the one who abandoned the boy when he was five.
John Reid McCrae wants only one thing in his life to make it worth living. Years ago he’d lost his son to a bitter wife and now his goal is to get Billy back. He’ll do whatever it takes, no matter who gets hurt. Until he meets the town’s stunning deputy. Can he put his needs ahead of her happiness?

Book Review

The three pups we first met in Please Keep Me return in this book. Once the first pup doesn't return Chubby decides to leave the box to find help and this is his story.

Shawna has never felt a connection as strong as the one she feels to the little boy she rescues. She even loves his furry guardian pup. Billy is an angry, unhappy and sad boy. He refuses to go back to his foster home, and can't allow himself the luxury of loving the pup either. This means Shawna is able to hang on to him for a while longer as her social worker friend tries to pull out the story of abuse in the foster home.

The surprise in the parcel is the fact that Billy is not really an orphan. His dead mother had vindictively kept the knowledge of his father from him. Now John knows that his son has been shuttled into the foster care system and he's back to stake a claim. Unfortunately he also feels like staking a claim to his son's current care giver. The deputy may love his son, but could she have place in her heart for him as well?

Really sweet and heart warming. I can't wait to see who Cranky, the third pup, ends up with.
