    "Sweet! The story was so sweet and endearing. Adele is like a lot of us females. We put everyone else's needs ahead of ours. Hopefully she finds happiness in the next book." - 5 out of 5 Stars, Amazon Reviewer
         
    "I enjoyed reading this novella and can't wait to read "Time Will Tell" to get the rest of the story. It is a unique story that is unfolding as Adele is finding out what she wants to do with her life instead of living a life of everyone else. This is a great romance. A clean book and great reading for all ages." - 5 out of 5 Stars, Sammy, Amazon Reviewer

    Author

    Cindy A Christiansen

    Bestselling author, Cindy A Christiansen, has combined her love of dogs with her joy of writing to create an award-winning combination. Her novels always include canine characters both in the pages and on the cover, an extension of the credit she gives to her extraordinary rescue dogs for their part in helping her overcome numerous challenges. In a reciprocal gesture for their love and devotion, a portion of the proceeds from her books are donated to assist abandoned and abused dogs. She lives in Utah with her loving husband, two creative children with autism, and a pack of rambunctious dogs. Here's what her books give you: A clean read with no bedroom scenes or offensive language; a tantalizing, fast-paced plot; a story without a lot of boring description; down-to-earth heroes and heroines with everyday jobs; a rollercoaster ride of emotions you face right along with the characters; a special dog to steal your heart; a few added facts, a good message, and that important happily-ever-after ending.
