This is a quick and delightful read, but especially so for this dog lover. My breed of preference is Boston Terrier, but I could relate to Janice’s distraught reaction to losing her beloved Jack Russel and the machinations she goes through to try to get him back. Randall is a great guy, and I love the relationship he has with his mom and sister who mean well, but tend to get over involved in his life. He’s gentle without being sissyish, and of course, what’s not to like about a man who loves dogs as much as he does. A fun story for any time of the year.

February 11, 2021I loved writing this one. It's dedicated to my little Jack Russell. There are a lot of things about my Jack that are included in this book and a cute romance between the two main characters. It's a novella and I think anyone that loves dogs and romance will enjoy reading Missing Jack!!!

A solid 4 1/2stars Sweet little book. Mini Christmas read. Poor Janice lost her “Jack” Russell doggie a few weeks ago. No leads yet at the same time Randall Jackson finds Jack. He’s been busy so just integrates Jack into his pack of dogs. Christmas is coming and his mom has been trying to clean his house aka the old family home. He’s trying to line up a dog sitter to watch his dogs while his sister, who is allergic to dogs is there for the Christmas holiday. Janice keeps calling all the local shelters hoping to find her Jack.
Randall’s mother keeps pressing him for a picture of Jack that she can send to the shelter. She wants grandchildren not another grand pup. Lol can’t say much more without spoiling the story. Enjoy it’s almost a Hallmark movie.
I received an ARC in e-format from the author. But the remarks are my own
