An Applebottom Small Town Dog Lovers Romance
Ratings2
Average rating3.8
Mistletoe Summer was a sweet cozy romance about Melody Hopkins who takes her dog Mistletoe into a high end pet bakery to get her a treat. Talking to the owner she discovers that they are expanding and could use some help with the painting. She decides to take on the job and meets the owner's son Cody and his support dog Tyrus. Cody is just back from Iraq. His leg was injured and he suffers from PTSD.
As Melody and Cody get to know each other, so do their dogs. The story is all about Cody learning to come to terms with his PTSD and them both learning to care for and trust each other.
I enjoyed all the characters in the small town, having the dogs front and center in the book and the budding romance between Cody and Melody. I also liked that the book didn't gloss over Cody's PTSD and how it affected his everyday life.
