This is another awesome book in the Have a Hart Series by Rachelle Ayala. This book tells the story of Linx and Grady. It is a bit darker then the other books in the series. Every family has some darkness. Reading it reminded me of the saying, if the eyes shed no tears, the heart would have no rainbows. Linx never had an easy life. Grady did but, even in the best families, things go wrong. I think Grady proves that every child is different and that it is not only our home that shapes us as people. This is a roller coaster story. It will have you feeling so many emotions. Most likely you will go through parts where you like them, you don't like them but then you love them.
I enjoyed reading Linx and Grady's story, which holds a bit of mystery in it. I hope you pick it up and enjoy it too! The Have A Hart Series is clean romance.

Thank you to the author for providing an advanced review copy. The final book may have slight differences. ( )

There is no perfect story, only gifted writers. Ms. Ayala is an expert at forging a connection between readers and her cast of eclectically irresistible characters. Whether human or animal, they all bring something to the table. Life lessons, emotional moments or just a figurative hug to brighten up someone's day, it's stories like Summer Love Puppy that have kept me in love with reading for years. Linx and Grady have traveled a hard road in order to find a second chance. Will there be forgiveness and understanding at the end of the trek? The beginning of something special is just waiting to be explored. (4.5 stars) ( )

Grady & Linx have had a love/hate relationship for years. They each have reasons to distrust each other & have never taken the time to sit down & discuss anything. They have a chance for something special. Will all the lies, mistrust & anger get in the way?

Rachelle Ayala creates works of art detailing human conditions & the joy of animal companionship. The characters in this story are flawed & have to find a way to deal with those flaws in order to create their future. The dogs add another element to the story with their unconditional love & wary nature. This was another great story from a wonderful author. ( )
