Description from the publisher:
A shy girl, a social guy, a second chance to get their stories right…

Sarah Campbell loves living vicariously through the residents at the Redwood Cove Rest Home.  But when a surly patient insists she can’t die before “setting things right,” Sarah finds she may end up taking on far more than she ever bargained for… especially since all signs point to murder.  Have she and her therapy dog Lucky stumbled upon the key to solving the most famous cold case in Gold Coast history?

Despite creating the world’s most popular social network, Finch Jameson lives a life of ashamed solitude.  The last thing he wants is to draw attention to himself, but that’s exactly what happens when a distant relative delivers an earth-shattering confession in her dying days.  Soon he finds himself more intrigued by the shy and beautiful nurse who’s committed to helping him solve his great-aunt Eleanor’s mystery than in the mystery itself.  But will she ever let her guard down long enough to let him in?

Can Finch and Sarah work together to solve Eleanor’s big mystery before time runs out?  And might redeeming Eleanor’s legacy somehow save them both in the process?

Find out if Lucky can help these two humans get to the bottom of this mystery and get a head start on their own love story.  This sweet tale of suspense, secrets, and second chances is one you won’t want to miss... Order your copy and start reading today!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SAVING SARAH is the first book in the Gold Coast Retrievers series.  I believe each will stand on their own.

I love clean cozy mysteries.  After all, my first chapter books were The Happy Hollisters, Nancy Drew, and The Hardy Boys.  Now, add in a Christian Romance slant and a loveable dog or two, and I am over the moon in love with a new series!

I loved the realistic nature of the characters.  We’re not all good or all bad.  We make mistakes.  We learn.  We grow older (and hopefully wiser).  We love our families, even when we fight with them or they make horrible mistakes.

Finally, I also loved Lucky the therapy dog.  I’ve long had a fascination for these working animals who bring peace and comfort to those trapped in hospitals, nursing homes, or hospice.  I know my own four-legged comfort baby means the world to me when I’m having even the slightest of bad days.  Three cheers for all of the “Lucky”s of the world!

Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
