REVIEW: Their Unbreakable Bond by Deb Kastner

Their Unbreakable Bond by Deb Kastner is the first book in the Harlequin continuity series, K9 Companions. This is a delightful friends to lovers story.

Felicity Winslow is very surprised when her brother Sharpe’s best friend Stone Keller shows up at her family’s Christmas tree farm’s gift shop, Winslow’s Woodlands Gift Shop. Sharpe hired Stone as seasonal help while Stone is back in town taking care of his mother during her chemotherapy treatments for cancer. When Felicity was in middle school she had a mad crush on Stone. Nothing ever came of it. One of the family jobs each of Felicity’s siblings take on is dog training. Felicity has trained a pit bull mix named Tugger in avalanche rescue in addition to Tugger’s therapy dog training. This is a challenge for Felicity in that her ex-boyfriend died in an avalanche and Felicity knows she has to fight her fear. She also knows that Stone Keller is off limits since he is her brother’s best friend.

Stone Keller left Whispering Pines, Colorado to become a rodeo rider. He became a bronc rider but his career ended when he was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident that left him hospitalized for a month. Upon release from the hospital Stone headed to Whispering Pines to help his mother during her cancer treatments. Finding a very grown up and pretty Felicity Winslow was a shock. After working with Felicity with her training him and a black lab named Dandy for avalanche search and rescue work and working together in the gift shop Stone found himself falling in love with Felicity.

Stone never realized Felicity had a crush on him during their school years. Upon returning to their home town and spending lots of time with Felicity, Stone realized that he had indeed grown beyond his wild ways and was ready for a relationship. Felicity faced her fears and trusted God to help her heal. I love these main characters. They grew in love together and both share the love of their search and rescue dogs. I look forward to more K-9 Companion stories.
