These adorable service puppiesare matchmakers in the making…When Sophie Vasquez and her sisters dreamed up Puppy Promise-their service puppy training school-it was supposed to be her chance to bring some good into the world. But how can she expect to do anything when no one will take her seriously? Enter Harrison Parks: a rough, gruff, take-no-bull wildlife firefighter in need of a diabetic … firefighter in need of a diabetic service dog. He couldn’t be a more unlikely fit for Sophie or Bubbles-the sweet Pomeranian she knows will be his perfect partner-but when Sophie insists he give them both a shot, something unexpected happens: he listens. Even better, he keeps on listening, even as Sophie and Bubbles turn his lonely, uber-masculine world upside-down.
As it turns out, they all have something to prove…and more than enough room in their hearts for a little puppy love.

I am so very glad I picked up this book that has introduced me to an author I will definitely be following.
The first book of this series about three sisters who own a service puppy training school, belongs to Sophie Vazquez and Harrison Parks.
Sophie has come a long way from all the suffering she experienced as a child. She doesn’t consider herself as pretty or as bright as her sisters, and is determined to become an excellent dog trainer. Add that to her spunky personality and you have a winner.
Harrison is a wildfire firefighter, a big tough guy that doesn’t smile and though respected by his peers, is also feared. His type 1 diabetes latest episode and his boss are forcing him to find a service dog so he can continue to work the fires.
When these two meet, sparks fly and not always in a good way, especially after Sophie chooses the opposite kind of dog that Harrison wants.
The story is at times funny, at times heartbreaking but also touching and sweet. The complex and imperfect characters make it a wonderful story. Aside from the obvious plot, it’s also a story on how our experiences as children, as well as our family support and love or lack thereof, mold us as adults . Sometimes making us stronger, at other times making us feel that we are not good enough or loved enough if the person that is suppose to be there for us , abandons us.
Can’t wait to read what else the author has in store for us in the next book.
