My Thoughts

An Unexpected Companion by Mindy Obenhaus is a sweet story.  I enjoyed getting to know Tessa and her kids, Grayson and Bryce as well as Dirk and his mobility service dog, Molly.  Tessa’s aunt was a delight. Molly is a sweet dog who knows when someone needs her.  I liked seeing Tessa, Dirk, and her boys grow closer over the summer.  I felt for Grayson who obviously had something that was troubling him.  I enjoyed the beautiful descriptions of the ranch and the buildings that Dirk is renovating (I want to live in the converted cabin).  The romance is the slow burn type which suits the story.  Both Dirk and Tessa need to overcome the past before they can embrace the future.  Faith is woven throughout the story with scripture and insights. 

An Unexpected Companion is a story about healing, forgiveness, family, love, hope, and forgiveness.  I hope we get to visit the ranch again and see one of Tessa’s sisters find the right individual for them.  While An Unexpected Companion is the 31st book in the K-9 Companions series (I believe it is the first book in the Legacy Ranch series), it can be read as a standalone.  An Unexpected Companion is an emotional tale with summer retreat, a sullen son, a guilt-ridden widower, a kindly aunt, ranch renovations, holding onto hope, and a friendly canine.

An Unexpected Companion is available from AmazonTheir Texas Christmas Redemption is the second book in the Legacy Ranch series and it will be out on September 30 (I cannot wait to read it). You can find Mindy Obenhaus's other novels here.  Thank you for stopping by today.  I am still on the hunt for a company to fix the insulation and vapor barrier on my home.  I was surprised to discover that a business did not have a phone in their office.  The owner uses his cell phone and his message does not mention the business.  As you can guess, I went on to the next company on my list.  I will return tomorrow with my review of For Sure and Certain I Do Not Love Henry Yoder by Jennifer Spredemann.  I hope that you have a cheerful day.  Do not forget to enter the giveaway!  Good Luck and Happy Reading!
