The start of a series of wounded veterans and dogs. A win-win combination. This one has Adam, who is struggling with guilt after a deadly explosion in Afghanistan. When his sister and her friend Lizzie show up with a big old dog, he can't help but give tips and advice, and is suckered into taking care of the dog. All he wants is to be left alone, but naturally that is the last thing he gets. When a couple of his military family show up, also needing help, more dogs and work on the ranch help them all. The romance of Adam and Lizzie is great, and I expect more to come in future books. Highly recommend this book and author.
