CH always has a more motherly twist on Mrs.Dove-Lyon that I really enjoy. I enjoyed the twists and turns that this tale took. Definitely an original book. What a wonderfully exciting romance. This review is short because I enjoyed the book so much it left me speechless. :) I could gush and overwhelm you with specifics but I'd rather just say go read the book its worth it!
I recieved a free copy so that I might tell you what I honestly think. Hope you enjoyed my review. Now go enjoy the book.

This book was one of the most important titles of my childhood. It was one of my favorites during the early reading years. As a 18 year old freshman, I have no doubt that this book heavily influenced my decision to go into Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Especially paired with the tactile component of the frog toy, It makes for a great introduction to ecology and excitement about conservation and nature.

Another great "Lyon" book. While all the stories revolve around Mrs. Dove-Lyon's matchmaking business, they each have their own unique back story. Every book is an enjoyable revelation!
Thank you C.H. Admirand, Dragonblade Publishing and NetGalley for allowing me an advance copy for my honest feedback.

I liked this book and the characters. It went by quick and I want to read books for King and Coventry.

Cativated by the Lyon
Ms. DOVES match making again.
I am in love with this series and the different writers.
Edmund and Addy are both strong characters who play well off of one another. Adam is a nice addition to the piece as he helps meld Edmund and Addy together as a family with him as their well beloved son.

Wonderfully illustrated but the story left a lot to be desired. It was a pretty straightforward step by step in the life of a strawberry poisonous frog but with very little story to make it interesting.
