Description from the publisher:
Riley Lewis may plan weddings for a living, but it doesn’t mean she believes in love. However, love may be just what she gets when she lays eyes on the disabled veteran running the bed and breakfast that will serve as her home during a much-needed visit with her best friend.

Joshua Bandon wanted one thing when he was discharged from the military—peace and quiet. But when his service dog, Charlie, falls hard for a beautiful woman staying at their inn, he just may end up following suit.

When Riley’s best friend disappears without warning, Josh and Charlie may be the only ones who can help… Especially when Riley goes missing too.

Find out if Charlie can rescue these two wounded souls and bring them together before it’s too late. This sweet tale about the healing power of love will make you believe in love again… Order your copy and start reading today!

RESCUING RILEY is the second book in the Gold Coast Retrievers series.  Each stands on its own, and is written by a different author.

Josh is first introduced in SAVING SARAH, which makes me wonder who we met in this book will be in the next and the next.  I love little gifts like that.

There were so many hints to Liza and Riley’s relationship before this story that it feels like they should have begun in another book.  I felt that I was missing something I should have known.  I even searched to see if there was more.  There wasn’t a previous book.  That’s not to say that there isn’t a complete story here, just that I kept feeling like I missed a previous story….  Then the rest of the story came at the end.

I loved Josh and Riley’s slow growing relationship, dedication to his cousin, the undeniable heat between them, and the meddling of his father.

I loved that Josh was a hero with an ability to accept assistance when he needed it (due to a war injury).  This doesn’t diminish heroes!  It increases them.

I loved this story and hope the rest of the series can live up to the high bar set here.

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