Reviews for Sit...Stay...Beg

[gincam · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

"Sit...Stay...Beg" is Book #1 in "The Dogfather Series" from author Roxanne St. Claire. Animal Welfare and Literacy are two of the causes closest to my heart. I was an only child who communicated with animals better than I did with people (still true), so reading a heartwarming contemporary romance about rescue dogs, a big, loving & complicated family, and a healing-hearts romance is a very enjoyable experience. Garrett Kilcannon built a successful business, sold it, and returned to his family homeplace, Waterford, to rehab and train rescue dogs. He intends to keep the secrets he brought with him deep and buried, but Fate has other plans. His father, Daniel, a highly-respected veterinarian also known as "The Dogfather", has given permission for a journalist to visit Waterford to do a feature story on Garrett. However, it's not just any journalist who's coming--it's Jessie Curtis, a childhood friend of his sister. Coming back to Waterford--a place where she spent many happy hours as a child--should be a good thing for Jessie, but her whole professional future is riding on how well her feature interview with Garrett turns out. A rescue dog named Lola--a beautiful spirit--will break down barriers between Garrett and Jessie with the special magic that only dogs have--but will these two humans be able to face the truths about themselves and about each other? When all secrets and doubts are made clear, will there be room for the love of a lifetime and a happy future? I very much look forward to reading the complete "Dogfather Series" from talented storyteller Roxanne St. Claire.

Sit...Stay...Beg by Roxanne St Claire An emotionally fulfilling contemporary romance that hits all the notes. Compassion, loyalty, friendship, generosity, and of course, a soul-deep love.First in a new series that features a dog rescue organization and some worthy single adults that could use a love connection. Corny. Yes, but so sweet and lovely. St Claire knows how to write wth touching emotion and a perfect happily ever after.Excerpt:“She looked up at him. “If you read my work, you’ll see that I don’t write smear stories. I let readers see what makes a person tick, what motivates them, what inspires them. This place, this job you have, it’s inspiring. People think of you as some kind of dot-com millionaire recluse, and here you are…trying to get a rescue dog to eat peanut butter out of your hand.”Excerpt From: Roxanne St. Claire. “Sit...Stay...Beg.”Excerpt:“She studied his body, his movements, the way he angled his head and the breeze lifted some strands of his hair.And that very same feeling she had when looking at the house washed over her. A longing for something she couldn’t have.Unless she could have it, and then…she’d have to give up a part of herself in order to be connected to someone else. Was that the way it had to work?He turned and waved to her. “Hey.”One word. One look. One gooey girl on the receiving end. “Hey back.”Excerpt From: Roxanne St. Claire. “Sit...Stay...Beg.”
