annarella's review against another edition
5.0
This book is a rollercoaster of emotions, heartwarming and heart wrenching a the same time.
It's a page turner that will make you root for the characters and it's perfect for animal lovers.
I read it in one setting and sometimes was so moved I cried.
I loved the style of writing, the fleshed out characters.
It's more complex than the average romance with some very heavy themes in it.
A very good read, highly recommended!
Many thanks to Entangled Publishing and Netgalley for this ARC

I received a free copy via Netgalley in exchange for my honest review
4.5 stars
At first I thought this would just be another romance story, but that really was not just it. Yes, the romance aspect was present. However, mental health and dealing with setbacks also was present.
I think this book was beautiful and I enjoyed the writing style and the two perspectives. This book's subject is hard and weighty, but the combination with the dogs made this book feel lighter.
The only downside of this book that I experienced was the ending. It was lovely, but it felt rushed. Especially in comparison with the rest of the book. Another small flaw is the cover, the way the woman looks on the cover, that was definitely not how I imagined Emma. In my opinion, Emma wasn't girlish at all and definitely did not wear hats like that.

** I got this book from netgalley for my honest opinion **
This book is about Emma, a psychologist working on her doctorate and also working on training dogs to be therapy dogs focusing on anxiety. Her first love, Jackson, comes back on leave from the marines to take care of his nephew after his sister ended up in a coma due to a car crash.
This book not only is a romance, but it also takes a Deep look into PTSD and therapy dog training. It was really interesting seeing both of these things handled in what most people view as "cheesy" and "easy" reads. This book was definitely an easy read and was cheesy at points, but I felt that it was more than your "average romance."
That being said, this book could have been improved on greatly. The last half of it felt kind of dragged out and repetitive. We were getting generally the same feelings over and over. "I cant trust him because he's left before" when they weren't together and then "maybe we can make this work" when they are. I just wanted to shove them together and tell them to figure it out later. Which, I mean, also added to the story. It was a confusing feeling.
There were some inconsistencies in it, some mattered more than others but none really affected the storyline itself.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and do recommend it if you're looking for a quick romance with depth.
