Bully

Tails of Paws and Purrfection

by Amy Stephens

A Sweet Romantic Comedy

Clay Banton has done it again…

With his court date coming up, Clay’s expecting to spend some time in the slammer for his latest speeding ticket. But when the Judge surprises him with community service instead of a hefty fine and time behind bars, Clay’s not so certain he’s up for the alternative. Who wants to scoop poop and clean up after a whole bunch of smelly animals?

Evie Thorsby loves running the local shelter and placing the animals in loving homes is her ultimate goal. When the latest intake, a loveable Bulldog by the name of Bully, finds his way into the heart of the newest volunteer, Evie knows the dog and Clay would make a great pair.

But Bully isn’t the only one who’s taken a liking to Clay.

Will Clay give in and give Bully the chance he deserves? Can Evie let Bully leave without arranging to see him again?

You don’t have to be a dog lover to enjoy this romantic comedy of two unlikely people falling for one another, but how can you say no to Bully?

Bully de Amy Stephens

Argumento:

Clay Banton lo ha vuelto a hacer...

Con su cita en la corte acercándose, Clay espera pasar algún tiempo en la cárcel por su última multa por exceso de velocidad. Pero cuando el juez lo sorprende con servicio comunitario en lugar de una fuerte multa y un tiempo tras las rejas, Clay no está tan seguro de estar dispuesto a la alternativa. ¿Quién quiere recoger caca y limpiar después de un montón de animales apestosos?

A Evie Thorsby le encanta administrar el refugio local y colocar a los animales en hogares llenos de amor es su objetivo final. Cuando la última incorporación, un adorable Bulldog llamado Bully, llega al corazón del nuevo voluntario, Evie sabe que el perro y Clay harían una gran pareja.

Pero Bully no es el único al que le ha gustado Clay.

¿Se rendirá Clay y le dará a Bully la oportunidad que se merece? ¿Puede Evie dejar que Bully se vaya sin volver a verlo?



Mi humilde opinión:

Amo los perros así que me encantó leer sobre este refugio, el gran trabajo de la heroína para encontrarles un hogar para siempre a los animales y su amor por ellos. Yo no hubiera dudado en adoptar a Bully, era totalmente dulce!

Evie era un personaje agradable al igual que Clay. Ellos se conocen cuando el padre de ella, un juez, envía a Clay a realizar trabajo comunitario al refugio de Evie para pagar por sus excesos de velocidad con su motocicleta. No sabe nada sobre mascotas pero no tarda mucho en encariñarse con el refugio y el bulldog Bully.

Es una lectura súper rápida y de verdad adorable. Lo malo es que me dejó deseando que fuera más larga. Me quedé con ganas de un mejor desarrollo en el romance, de saber más sobre los protagonistas y cómo siguió su historia de amor.

This was a nice quick read and very fun. Using a dog to help two people find each other is a great thing.

Cute short story. If you are looking for something short and sweet given this one a try. Took me about an hour to read and I'm a slow reader.

Clay speeds his motorcycle a little too fast through town and ends up in the courtroom again. This time he is given community service with the local animal shelter that his daughter runs. Evie could use the help and Clay continues there long after his time is up.
The characters are believable, hard working and determined to make better lives for the dogs and cats. The storyline has adorable dogs, especially Bully, drama, surprises, changes of heart, a late night search and much more. Loved their chemistry and joint love for the animals. The ending sure was intense but terrific.

This books was so much fun to read. The premise was original and the story was a delight to read because the characters and dialogue were so vivid and realistic... there was great banter between the two leads and I loved the distrust that the story began with on all sides. The use of a senior dog in this book was a master stroke on the author's part. I fell in love him and Clay at the same time. I couldn't resist either and I loved the double entendre in the title. I only wish this could have been a little longer because I didn't want to leave this book behind.

3.5 stars.

As much as I enjoyed seeing Clay, Evie and Bully bond, I did feel I was missing a bit of Clay's character to feel a good connection to him, don't get me wrong, I did like him as a character, I just didn't quite get a few things about him. I enjoyed his cluelessness and seeing him evolve and connect with Bully, and believe he had a chance with Evie. I liked seeing him and Evie come together but felt their story ended a bit too soon, even with the added epilogue at the end.

This is a quick sweet romance that will have you smiling throughout. Clay has a bit of a heavy foot. When he shows up in court (again), instead of losing his license he receives community service.

Evie runs the local shelter and volunteers are always needed. When Clay arrives she has no problem putting him to work.

Love the connection between the characters. This is an easy read and I found myself lost in the pages quickly.

A fun short read. Clay and Evie meet when he is court ordered to help out at her animal rescue. There he meets Bully, an older dog looking for a new home, who bonds with Clay. Will this be a second chance for both of them?.

Clay has gotten another speeding ticket. But this time he has to do community service at a local rescue where the judge's daughter works. There he finds romance and a dog named Bully.
