Valentine Hound Dog: The Hart Family

Serious subjects delivered with humor, heart and wisdom. Ms. Ayala is good at her craft. Her ability to deliver a story that has every element from laughter, to drama and optimism is one of the reasons I have become a fan. Larry, Jenna and a matchmaking pooch make for a charming combination. Valentine Hound Dog imparts a beautiful lesson in a light heartwarming way. Beauty is the culmination of heart, body and soul not flaws on the outer shell but the light that shines from within. I lost a piece of my heart within this cute tale.

**This review is for the audiobook** Lately, I have become a fan of Sweet Romance Novels, particularly those of Rachelle Ayala! My latest find, Valentine Hound Dog: The Hart Family: Have a Hart Book, 2 by Rachelle Ayala, Narrated by Jennifer Groberg is a new favorite to add to my list! It is the second book in the Have a Hart series, and focuses around the growing relationship of Jenna and Larry. I'll allow you to read the plot description on your own, so I don't accidentally let any details slip out, but I will say that between the fashion show, firefighters, and the cutest hound dog ever, I couldn't say no! It is a great story, and so well-written. It is a little over 4.5 hours long, which is perfect for a car ride up north with the girls, a weekend at home, or just one to hear on your day off work! I devoured it in 2 days, only because I started it at nighttime, otherwise, I probably could have finished it in one day because I loved it that much! Thank you, Rachelle, for your stories! I love the Hart family, and feel like I'm part of the clan, too! :-) The narration of Jennifer Groberg definitely adds to the book. I prefer audiobooks, but it's not everyday you find a narrator like Jennifer Groberg! Her voice is absolutley perfect! She is easy to listen to and her performance is one of a kind! We all have listened to narrators act out the voices of both guys and girls, but is it often we also get to hear the voices of the animals/pets? Well, you do in this series! In Book 1, she gave us the the voices of the pet lovebirds, and in Book 2 we get Harley the Hound Dog! And...it's not just the typical, Arf! Bark! or Ruff! We get the real hound dog voice, howls and all! Way to go, Jennifer, and keep it up! I rate the Sweet Romance, Valentine Hound Dog: The Hart Family: Have a Hart, Book 2 by Rachelle Ayala, Narrated by Jennifer Groberg, 5/5 stars. Although romance is not my go-to genre, the writing of Rachelle Ayala is so engaging, that I find myself thinking about these characters on a regular basis, now! I definitely recommend this book to those who enjoy romance, as well as to those looking for something new and sweet. I really enjoyed it, and I think you will, too! It leaves you feeling happy...I'm still smiling! I can't wait for the next one!! Thank you for reading my review. I hope it was helpful. :-)

Absolutely fabulous book
