From There to Back Again
Sometimes all you need is a second chance...
The sunny weather and sandy beaches of Rescue Bay, Florida, are just what Olivia Linscott needs after leaving a bad relationship and a lousy job. Her late mother, a woman Olivia never knew, has left her an animal shelter that is as much of a shambles as Olivia's life. She just wants to retreat, rebuild, and rediscover herself.
Then a skittish and wounded Golden Retriever leads Olivia to her cranky next-door neighbor's yard. Luke Winslow, a helicopter pilot with a painful secret, has lost his career and his purpose after a near-fatal crash that left him partially blind. Adrift and bitter, the last thing he wants is to get involved with anyone-or any dog. But neither one of them can resist the dog who needs some human intervention. In the process, Olivia and Luke might just find a way to heal and a reason to hope.

Missed 5 Stars By Paragraph Problems
This story inexplicably had conversations between two people in the same paragraphs. The convention for hundreds of years has been to start a new paragraph each time the speaker changes. That way there is no confusion on who is speaking. But here, often the same paragraph contains several back-and-forth comments, and I got confused.
Other than this problem, this book deserves five stars. It has great characters, a compelling subplot, plenty of unexpected plot twists, and a sense of place. It is interesting enough to be on my read-again list. But this old proofreader and copyeditor cannot get past the parahraph issue.

A great read
This is the first book I've read but this author and it didn't disappoint. A well written, beautiful location, excellent description of characters and situations that had me laughing and brought a tear. I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to read what comes next. A sweet, pretty clean romance with an entertaining cast!
