Refreshingly different, funny, touching, romantic, heartwarming . . . Sit, Stay, Love resulted in one of the most pleasant reading experiences I've ever had, contrary to what I might have feared when choosing to review it. For one thing, I love dogs other people's dogs, that is. And I'm not particularly fond of baseball. But none of that mattered because I was entranced with characters and storyline from the first page and Tippy, of course, for "There's just something about Tippy."
Cal and Gina are so easy to relate to, and I was drawn to them from the beginning. Cal's emotional and spiritual growth from one chapter to another make this story especially enjoyable. I loved the slowly-growing relationship and sweet chemistry between these two. And strong secondary characters in Cal's uncle, aunt and dad Oscar, Sweets, and Mitch add so much richness.
Enter Gina, pet sitter extraordinaire. Sometimes I come across characters that I wish were real so I could actually meet them, and one of those would be Gina. She radiates a faith in God, humor, genuineness, and is a natural with people. To Cal, "It was like she had the sun inside her, energy which pulled him closer and warmed him."
Gina's faith is real and I loved the influence she had on Cal, helping him to realize that pitching was just his job, and that family was his world. Themes of forgiveness and second chances are also explored through the relationship between Cal and his dad.
I love Dana's passion for senior pets and how she brings awareness to all they have to offer. Please note that part of the proceeds from this book will be donated to senior dog rescue.
I give Sit, Stay, Love 5 stars based on my personal enjoyment factor and highly recommend it for, after all . . .
"There's just something about Tippy."
