***** Amazon Review By Kindle Customer - “ If you like clean romance with a bit of suspense and cute pups needing homes , this is the book for you .”
EXCERPT
Twigs cracked as something rushed from the surrounding forest . Rhiann quivered and bit her lower lip to stifle a scream . She knew bears had poor eyesight , and if she kept quiet , perhaps the creature would move on without noticing her .
On impulse , her right hand delved into her jacket pocket in search of a defense weapon . However , the two wiggling dogs in her arms made the attempt difficult . Rhiann shushed them as her fingers closed around a set of keys . Her hand emerged from the pocket , and she whispered praise to the dogs plastered against her chest . Rhiann closed her eyes in silent prayer . The intruding noises ceased , and she re-opened her eyes . Her mouth rounded in an “ O ” when she saw what stared at her .

Levi Butler gawked at the woman standing on top of the picnic table at Twin Bridges Campground — holding a pair of small dogs no less ! The scene made him come to a complete stop after jogging the threemile circular river trail . He muffled a smile and turned his head to squelch an eruption of laughter that rumbled in his chest .
