Kathryn Donahue liked Donna's review of The Dog Walker's Diary: "Challenge: 2018 Summer Romance Bingo - Dog/cat on cover (20). How to incorporate many stories and a sudden plot derailment without jeopardizing the main story line is mastered by this author. One of the most satisfying endings with multiple closures."
