There was plenty of romance, tension, action, and intrigue to keep my nose stuck in the book all night. It was nice to read about the lives of other McCord sisters Crystal (from The Reluctant Cowgirl) and Kaleigh, as their own stories continue. Lynxwiler creates a thrilling atmosphere with pursuers out to get Elyse, but keeps many tender moments alive throughout. I also like how Lynxwiler's books deal with tough life issues in a manner that makes the story come alive and feel very real. It makes me want to read more, more, more!(Chelsea Winer A Curious Reader blog 20100121)A captivating story with characters that stay with you long after you've put down the book. Characters that make it hard to wait for the next book in the series. Though this was the first book in the series I read, the story is written in such a way as to be complete in and of itself while integrating and moving forward the story lines that went before. Faith element: medium, well integrated. A grace-filled story of fear to faith.(Carolyn Schiedies Authors' Choice Reviews 20100204) Book DescriptionStill struggling with her painful past, Elyse McCord transforms from a timid canine coiffeuse into a mighty warrior when a dog’s well-being is threatened.
