It's 1940 and Nazi bombs are raining down on London, but 13-year-old bike messenger Jack has just discovered something unbelievable: a stray dog with a surprising talent. Jack navigates the smoky, ash-covered streets of London amid air raid sirens and falling bombs, dodging shrapnel and listening for cries for help, as a bike messenger for fire crews. When Jack finds a dog, miraculously still alive after the latest Nazi bombing of London, he realizes there's something extra special about the shaggy pup--he can smell people who are trapped under debris. With his new canine companion, nicknamed Rip because of the dog's torn ear, maybe Jack can do more than just relay messages back-and-forth--he can actually save lives. And if Jack's friend Paula is right about the impending Nazi invasion, he and Rip will need to do all they can to help Jewish families like hers. There's just one problem: Jack has to convince his ill-tempered father to let him keep Rip. Based on true episodes during the London Blitz in World War II, this action-packed and touching story explores the beginnings of search-and-rescue dogs and the bravery and resourcefulness of young people determined to do their part for their country.Binding Type: Hardcover

A British Boyfriend NHL Player
Format: Kindle
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/🌶️🌶️🌶️ You know, I read this on a whim when I saw that our hero Jack would be British, playing pro in the NHL. As it turns out, why did I suddenly forget he was British while reading this, and it was only when he reminded us that I went, oh yeah he is. As for Kendra, I just felt unsatisfied with her, I love Jack and I saw how much he loved her, but I felt Kendra didn’t give him the same love that he projected for her. The chemistry felt really one-sided on Jack’s part and I felt that, despite all the spice, he gave more than he took. How can this girl really say she was upset over bro group chats from college when they barely spoke at all, yet she remained faithful to her obviously cheating ex-boyfriend who was seen with other girls during their four years together? Girlie forgot her pride and she also has a lot of anxiety to work through. We also never get to see or hear her play, unlike Jack, and we barely catch a glimpse of it during her practices, so how can you convince me she was the best or that she deserved all these promotions? I wasn’t convinced about her talent at all, and I’ve read many sports romances where the female heroines absolutely dominate in their sport. All in all, what I am convinced of is that most of the people rating this five stars did it for Jack, the multiple spice scenes, and the abundance of romance tropes: mature hockey romance, friends to lovers, forced proximity, fake dating, he falls first and harder, hockey player x soccer player, third act conflict/breakup, misunderstanding/ miscommunication, the aggressive ex boyfriend, and unrequited love. After reading this, I’m not inclined to read the series before this one. I’ll try again in the next book, it seems to be more interesting with Sawyer and Collins.

Hockey / football (soccer) romance
Format: Kindle
I love a good sports romance. This was a sweet but hot sports romance, what I liked was both the main characters were both sports players.
This is a quick read and I liked the author's writing style, I will definitely read more from her.

Definitely worth it
I initially wondered if this would be worth the money. But, I have a puppy who eats everything - including kindles. She ate the first one and I said to myself, I'll buy another and just be careful to put it out of her reach. Then she ate the second one! So, I bought a second one and added the insurance. She ate this one and, with the insurance, it was replaced with a new one.
We call the 'puppy' (who is now a little over a year old) 'Jaws'. Hopefully, this third kindle won't go in her mouth. But, getting smarter, I bought a cover for it so that, if she puts her teeth on it, she'll just damage the cover.

Thankful I purchased it!
I’ve purchased several square trade warranties over the years and they have always been amazing when I’ve needed to use it. This past week I attempted to charge my Kindle after not using it for several months. When I opened it the next morning the screen just showed a battery symbol with an ! inside it. After researching and attempting to trouble shoot, I realized it was toast. Called Amazon and no issues getting the replacement scheduled. My ONLY issue is the warranty has a guaranteed 2 day replacement and mine is supposed to take almost a week. Anyhow, I highly recommend buying the warranty.
