Learn a Lesson in Love—Tippy Style— in Dana Mentink’s New Book (Plus a Prize Pack Giveaway)


Take one abrasive professional athlete, a quirky out-of-work schoolteacher, and an overweight geriatric dog, and you're ready for a lesson in love...Tippy style.

Pro baseball pitcher Cal Crawford is not a dog guy. When he inherits his deceased mother's elderly dog, Tippy, he's quick to call on a pet-sitting service.

Gina isn't thrilled to be a dog sitter when her aspirations lie in the classroom. Furthermore, she can't abide the unfriendly Cal, a man with all the charm of a wet towel. But with no other prospects and a deep love for all things canine, she takes the job caring for Tippy.

As Gina travels through Cal's world with Tippy in tow, she begins to see Cal in a different light. Gina longs to show Cal the God-given blessings in his life that have nothing to do with baseball or fame. When her longing blooms into attraction, Gina does her best to suppress it. But Cal is falling in love with her too...

Discover the charming story of Tippy, the dog who brought a family together.

My Take~
This book is adorable and fun from the first page! I am a huge dog fan, and Dana did a great job of creating Tippy. She may be geriatric but she has a lot of spunk. The chemistry between Gina and Cal is subtle yet something they can't deny. Tippy is the catalyst that helps Cal forgive his father that brings about healing between them. One of my favorite reads of the year.
Highly recommended!

I received a copy of this book compliments of Harvest House Publishers and Litfuse Publicity Group free in exchange for my honest review.
