Blurb:
Since a mugging a year ago, Ben’s lived with blindness. Despite an art career on hold and a deadbeat boyfriend who left him because of his disability, he’s finally getting his life back on track. Ben is gaining a new sense of independence thanks to his guide dog, Colt.
But Ben’s carefully balanced life is thrown into chaos when veterinarian Dr. Jay Connor hits Colt with his car. While Colt is on the mend and recovering nicely, Ben finds that Jay is not only fond of Colt, but also quite interested in Ben.
However, one overheard conversation might put a stop to their romance before it can grow into something more. Maybe Ben’s destined to go it alone in the dark. Or can Jay help him see there’s still a chance for happily ever after?
Review:
Once again I find myself reviewing a story with so much potential that didn’t pan out how I’d hoped.
Ben is easy for the reader to fall for. He’s sweet and trying so hard to get his life back after a horrible crime took his sight. He was one of those character who I just wanted to hug.
Jay is a good man who always tries to do the right thing and this tendency is what causes the little bit of angst in this story.
Short stories are sometimes difficult to write and even harder to review. This little novel had all the elements of a good read. Likable characters, a good premise and good writing. It was sweet and tugged at the heart strings some.
But it’s hard to get swept away in 54 pages and this is the biggest downfall of this story. It just left me wanting to know more about these men and I guess that’s what it’s meant to do, but I would have been a lot happier with a little build up to whet the appetite.
I can’t say too much about the plot-line without giving everything away, but if you like a short, sweet read that will make you smile, then you will definitely enjoy “Must Love Dogs.”
