Dog And Kid Damn Near Steal The Show. I'm not normally one to enjoy books where kids play outsized roles or steal scenes, but Hinske here absolutely makes it work to help elevate the adult storyline of a widower and father just trying to re-establish his life and help his daughter heal after the tragic loss of his wife/ her mother before the events of this tale. The interplay with both the overall Dragonfly Cove series/ community and specifically Marsha from Hearts Unleashed, the book immediately prior to this one in series order, is particularly well done, and here we actually get to see a pivotal scene from that book play out again here from a different perspective, which is always interesting. That two different authors were involved only shows just how skilled and talented both are as storytellers - and, likely, that both shared a strong editor as well. :D
Yet another quick read at around 150 ish pages, Hinske too manages to pack quite a bit of story in such a small package. Really this entire series is a great boost for those looking to start their 2025 reading strong, particularly if you also happen to be a dog lover.
Very much recommended.
