It Started with a Puppy by Christy Jeffries

 

💖💖💖💖

It Started with a Puppy by Christy Jeffries, the final book in the Furever Yours series, is heartwarming story of opposites attracting. As a young girl, Elise lived with her aunt after her dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and moved to assisted living. After his death, Elise remained with her aunt, who lost no opportunity to tell Elise how grateful she should be for having her aunt take care of her. Aunt Regina was the town socialite and a bit of a flake, frequently leaving Elise to pick up the slack when Regina moved on from a project, before completing it. Regina has recently disappeared, along with the money for a local fundraiser for the animal shelter. Feeling badly, Elise, although quite shy, decides to make the fundraiser happen. With the disappearance of her aunt, Elise took a job at a doggie daycare, opened her first bank account, and moved out of her aunt's house, into a fixer-upper, where she is trading repairs for reduced rent. Her landlord Harris, a local contractor and house-flipper, is kind, charming, and a bit of a flirt. Working together to feed the feral cats living behind Elise’s house, Harris realizes that there is more to her than the shy wallflower he believed she was. Spending more time together, Harris draws her out, getting her involved her in the design work of the houses he was renovating. Elise's aunt constantly put her down, Harris's compliments and confidence in her made her thrive. Working together and connecting over their partnership their attraction builds as their chemistry sparks and sizzle. Putting the Furever Yours fundraiser displayed Elise’s talent for the fundraiser; despite it pushing her out of her comfort zone. Elise also had a special connection with the puppy Pancake, which helped Elise heal. Seeing Elise deal with the surprising truth and it was wonderful that Harris was there to support her. I highly recommend It Started with a Puppy to other readers.
