Although it is part of the K-9 Companions series, A K-9 to Reunite Them can be read as a stand-alone book. The books in the series are written by different authors, and Jill Kemerer is one of my favorites. With a second chances trope, a cast of engaging and realistic characters, and a plot that drew me in immediately, this story is a delightful and charming read. Seth Hudson has moved back to small-town Fairview, Wyoming to start a dog-boarding center after spending several years training service dogs. When Caroline Bright moves back to town and asks him to train a service dog for her small daughter Nina who has diabetes, Seth can’t refuse, although he wants nothing to do with Caroline who broke his heart years ago.

I loved the compassion and empathy that Seth showed Caroline and Nina, although he had reason to refuse his help. Caroline impressed me with her love and care of her adopted daughter. She was willing to do hard things to give Nina the best life possible. I enjoyed learning more about service dogs and their training. The author had obviously done much research into the subject. The tale is well-written, clean and wholesome, and features themes of forgiveness, trust, and hope.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.

A story of second chances and healing, A K-9 to Reunite Them can be read as a stand alone, as can all of the books in the K-9 Companions series.

In this story, we meet Seth and Caroline, who have a history. And honestly they never want to see each other again. Or do they? We also meet young Nina, who deals with Juvenile Diabetes and would do well with a service dog. Enter Spud to steal the show. I love learning about these dogs. They are so intelligent and have huge hearts.

Sweet and heartwarming, we’ll see that we need to trust God. And other people as well as a dog or two. I highly recommend A K-9 to Reunite Them!

I received a complimentary copy of this book but was not required to leave a review. All thoughts are my own.

A K-9 to Reunite Them is a Christian, second chance, heartwarming romance. Caroline's daughter, Nina, who has juvenile diabetes, needs a medical alert dog. Despite his reservations, Seth steps in to find a dog and to train Caroline and Nina. The dog Seth finds, Spud, is absolutely awesome. I loved these books that showcase these amazingly trained, hard working animals that make such a difference in someone's life. As Seth spends so much time with Caroline and Nina, old feelings start to surface. In this well written book about forgiveness, courage, trust and hope, watch how Caroline and Seth almost don't get their HEA. I was sad to reach the end.

Love, love, and love this story!! A beautiful reminder that we don't have to try to control every single area of our life,God has always had everything under control. It isn't easy, but His peace when we let go is more than we could ever imagine.
