By Dana Mentink
Standing between Stephanie and her dream is one hundred pounds of lovable trouble.
It should have been so simple for Stephanie Pink: Meet up with Agnes Wharton in a small town in California, retrieve the reclusive author’s valuable new manuscript, and be promoted to a full-fledged literary agent.
But Agnes’s canine companion, Sweetness, decides to make a break for it before Stephanie can claim her prize. Until Agnes has Sweetness safely back at home in Eagle Cliff, Washington, Stephanie will never set eyes on the manuscript she needs to make her dreams come true.
When Stephanie tracks the runaway mutt to a campground, she meets Rhett Hastings—a man also on the run from a different life and a costly mistake. Rhett agrees to help Stephanie search for the missing dog . . . thus launching a surprising string of adventures and misadventures.
Once Sweetness gets added to the mix, it’s a recipe for love and loss, merriment and mayhem, fun and faith in the backwoods of the Pacific Northwest.
ISLAND BREEZES
Sweetness? Stephanie is on her way to a promotion as a literary agent. But before that could happen Sweetness enters her life.
Sweetness? Stephanie had to track down an author’s missing dog before she could get her hands on a hot manuscript.
Sweetness? How could anyone name that ugly mutt Sweetness? It couldn’t be because of the dog’s looks or personality.
Sweetness? That doesn’t fit with the author who drove off with Stephanie’s purse. SNow she’s stuck with a the help of a stranger to track down the dog and the author.
Sweetness? Not all that grief and misadventure along the way could be called sweet.
Sweetness? Were the surprises encountered when they caught up with the author sweet? Maybe it just all boils down to A Cup of Mud.
Thank you, Ms Mentink, for this very entertaining book. I enjoyed the smiles brought on by Sweetness.
