A Walk in the Park by Rebekah Weatherspoon @RdotSpoon @marissahampton @ChinuaHawk @audible_com

the setup…
There’s utter chaos at the animal rescue center when Andre Monroe and Janelle Johnson each show up to claim their adopted dog. Problem is, a rogue fired employee assigned the same animals to multiple people and things are pretty ugly at the scene. Andre and Janelle were assigned the lovable Zeus and both work hard to appeal to the other to be the dog’s new parent. When someone suggests they consider co-parenting, it’s their only option as both really need and bonded with this pet. And, their immediate attraction to each other sweetens the proposition.
the heart of the story…
I was hoping this would be the story promised by the cover and it far surpassed my expectations. What I hadn’t anticipated was both Andre and Janelle’s need for the dog to move forward after individual heartbreak, in addition to being completely devoted to Zeus’s well being. It’s a short story and I don’t typically expect a lot of character development but these two were so well crafted I adored them as much as the dog!
the narration…
Both narrators were new to me and it didn’t matter as they fully engaged with their characters. They made me want to be friends with both Janelle and Andre and served up the story nicely.
the bottom line…
If you’re looking for a feel good moment, one where when you reach the end of the story and are still smiling, then give this little gem a chance. Their co-parenting was lovely and the developing romance was sweet. What could be better than two people wanting to give a dog his best life in the meantime?
