About this ebook

The chips are down for Jay Walker. Life was throwing curve balls at him long before he hit his teen years but now things are piling up. His mother is out of control and the one person who he loves with all his heart, his sister, is sick. Desperate for money to keep his family together, Jay takes a dog walking job, never suspecting how quickly this one act will change his life.

Ollie's life lately has become the cage. At first when another dog walker enters his life, Ollie lets him know who's boss; after all, another teen walking him doesn't mean anything. The last thing Ollie expects is to develop a fierce protectiveness toward Jay. There's something about the young boy which resonates and touches Ollie. When Jay takes Ollie home, he meets the little sister, who is ill and sees another side to the silent teen. Ollie quickly understands his mission in life – his role is to protect Jay at all costs.

As two unlikely strangers, a dog and a young teen, develop their friendship more obstacles get thrown into their path. Ollie will step into the role of guard dog to rescue Jay while Jay struggles to keep the people he loves safe.

Funny how the person you end up counting on and willing to place your life on the line for isn't at all who you expect. This is a poignant story about a young boy entering turbulent teenage years who discovers when every other person lets you down, a dog's love can keep you going.

    Off Limits by Renee Pace

    This is the first book I’ve read written by Renee Pace, I have to say I really enjoyed her writing; I picked up this book and never put it down. Renee’s writing is suburb, her character descriptions and plot are written well and words flowed easily. Before I knew it I was at the end of the story. I really enjoyed Off Limits even though it talks about some hard topics. I have to say that I felt for the two main characters and I was pulling for their friendship. Excellent writing.

    This is a story of two young women from different backgrounds who end up working together on a school project and start to build a friendship. Even though they both don’t want one, they trust no one. Keeping secrets from everyone is how they both like it.

    Lindsey is beautiful and rich and has everything she wants, but her home life is horrific, mom is out all the time working, leaving Lindsey at home alone with her stepfather. Lindsey does everything she can do not to be alone with him, even inviting friends over to spend the night. One evening when none of her friends can sleep over she ends up inviting over Megan.

    Megan lives at home with her mother who has MS, and they are struggling, Megan has to go to the food banks, works part-time and has to keep her grades up to stay in the private school she is attending. She has a deep dark secret that she has only told one person, her brother. Her brother who was high one night ended up bringing home a dangerous friend and left Megan in a very unsafe situation.

    These two girls cross paths many times and we can see they both are forming a friendship even though they trust no one. Can they become friends and help each other recover from their pasts?

    This is a great story, a must read. I have rated it a 4 stars and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading Ya novels.
