    About this ebook

    Rigid and predictable.

    Sarah Buchanan would never in a million years have used those words to describe herself. Never. But it's been almost a year since her longtime girlfriend left her for a man, and she's suddenly realized that those words now describe her with frightening accuracy, along with one more: boring. Deciding it's time to escape her disaster of a life, at least long enough to turn it around, she takes a temporary position with her company overseas. The hardest part is leaving her blue-eyed dog, Bentley, behind. But at least he's in the capable hands of her family. She thinks.

    Natalie Fox is the exact opposite of Sarah. She's flighty, spontaneous, and lives in The Now. It's how she's always been, and for better or for worse, Natalie loves her carefree life. When she finds a stray, skinny, terrified dog with blue eyes outside the coffee shop where she works and decides to adopt him as her own, things seem just about perfect to her.

    Take two stubborn, polar opposites with an attraction for one another they're trying desperately to ignore; throw in a couple of wise Italians, a handful of quirky friends, some homemade cannoli, and a far-too-observant dog; stir vigorously, then sit back, relax, and enjoy...

      What Lies Beyond

      May 23, 2021

      Karl Stead, poet, critic, fiction writer and memoirist, keeps saying he has been told he could cark it at any moment – a matter of his wonky heart – then he doesn’t cark it at any moment. He is 88. I think he will go on not carking it until he is 99,

      I spent the whole year wanting: a better world, a reprieve, a stimulus check, to look at someone’s whole face, to have a drink in a bar, to say things differently, to say things well, to be near. Everything of late has had a hard edge, not just the b

      This is another one where I'd go 3 1/2 but can't so I round up. Also keep in mind my soft spot for Ms. Beers' work.

      ___________

      I just reread this one and I think I liked it more the second time around. I not only have a soft spot for her work but a huge soft spot for dogs...

      This was a so so so so slow burn.Sarah is an executive somewhere who does something (seriously, I dare another reader to tell me what she does and where? Heh heh). That's not important though. The important part of her story is that she has the cutest dog. Bentley. Unfortunately she has to go to New Zealand for whatever work she does, and leaves Bentley with her family.Somewhere in the three months she's away that goes badly, and Natalie, a barista at a bakery where Sarah gets her coffee happens to find Bentley looking very worse for wear behind the bakery and adopts him.Then Sarah comes home. Neither woman is happy with the other, but, they get closer and closer (but very slowly as I implied, heh, above).The characters were really amazing. From the Valentis (loved them) to Andrea (she sorta annoyed me at times, but in a delightful way), and even small characters like Ellen (would have loved to know more about her).Ooh, and Bentley, he was amazing. So so amazing. He was still a dog, but, was written with just enough 'smarts' to make him so so awesome.
