There is a pitbull named Pumpkin therefore I liked this book

Rescue Me by Lauren Connolly

by 1 Comment

I’m a big fan of Lauren Connolly’s more recent work, but when I realized this one had a pitbull as a side character? I jumped on it! Much like the dog, this book is sweetly heartwarming while also packing a bit of muscley punch. “I’m sure I can get this right. Pumpkin is meant to be mine, and I’m meant to be hers.

And without them, Cordelia loves her magic and her freedom to explore more […]

Theo has had a crush on his best friend Tim’s sister for six years. She visited one weekend while they were in college and ended up staying over at his place after a party. While they were both extremely drunk, they had a conversation they completely changed the course of Theo’s life. […]
