"If the therapy dog isn't a match for the child will there still be a match for his owner?"

Fresh Fiction Review

For Keeps
Rachel Lacey

Reviewed by Sharon Salituro

Romance Contemporary

Merry Atwater had two jobs. Merry is a nurse and also owns an animal rescue for boxers. Merry loves both of her jobs. However the hardest is the dog rescue. Merry just can't get enough cash to keep it going. TJ runs a group at his farm for children that have problems. TJ's nephew Noah is autistic. TJ feels that maybe a therapy dog therapy and its trainer would be a great help for Noah and the other children. Merry answers the ad, but the two of them just don't click. Both of them have their own secrets, and are not about to let the other one in on it. Rachel Lacey writes not only writes a story that any dog lover would love, but also adds in some romance. Since I am a dog lover, I found myself drawn to the way that she describes Merry. I am not a nurse, but I could see myself in her shoes. How is going to take care of the animals? Ms. Lacey also shows how therapy dogs can help children. I know there are a lot of different groups out there with therapy dogs. This story line shows no matter what problems people have a dog really can help. Some of the nursing homes in my town do allow dogs to come in and just sit with the elderly. I really enjoyed FOR KEEPS. Hopefully the next book will update us on the two main characters in this book.

SUMMARY

A SUMMER FLING . . . OR SOMETHING MORE? Merry Atwater would do just about anything to save her dog rescue - even if it means working with the most stubborn man on the planet. It's hard to avoid the sparks that fly with TJ Jameson, the ruggedly sexy cowboy in charge of the children's camp where she's just taken an animal therapy job. But commitment is not Merry's style, and TJ clearly wants more than just a roll in the hay. TJ Jameson isn't looking for anything complicated-just a peaceful life on his family's ranch with a wife and kids. "No-strings" Merry Atwater doesn't fit that bill, no matter how irresistible she is. But when he sees how Merry gets through to his autistic nephew and the other kids at Camp Blue Sky, TJ's a goner. If he doesn't give in to the now, he might just lose his shot at forever . . .
