Josey's Christmas Cookie by Sharon Kleve Blog Tour and Review







JOSEY’S
CHRISTMAS COOKIE BLOG TOUR


BY
SHARON KLEVE




 


 




 


FIVE
STAR REVIEW


5.0 out of 5 stars A Lovable Story!


By Debby Lee


 


I loved this
heartwarming Christmas story.

Josey was a workaholic who spent all her spare time at the office in order to
cope with the tragic loss of her parents and being jilted by her fiance. I
really felt for her.

Clint was a handsome veterinarian Josey met at an animal rescue event who
helped her buy a large slobbering dog named Cookie. Clint handled the animals
with professionalism, sincerity, and great care.

The two Morning Dove's in the story, Harry and Beatrice, were desperate to see
Josey and Clint get together in time for Christmas.

If you enjoy sweet plots, whimsical animal themes, and stories that make you go
"aaawww" this one's for you.

Highly entertaining, highly recommended!


 




BLURB:


In the blink of an eye, Josey lost the most important
people in her life, her parents.


Can a hound dog named Cookie, a pair of mourning doves,
and a passionate vet bring the holiday spirit back to Josey's life in time for
Christmas?


 


EXCERPT:


As I
stared at the pathetic dog in his diaper, I realized no one wanted the dog,
they were just gawking at him. The sign said his name was Cookie, part Basset
Hound and part Redbone Coonhound. I didn’t know anything about either breed. I
did know he was very large and he was slobbering everywhere and he should have
a diaper around his neck. I turned to continue my search and a felt a tug on my
pant leg. I looked down and Cookie had a hold of my jeans. When our eyes met,
Cookie's eyes twinkled, just like Clint's.


 


A
glob of drool hit the top of my shoe. He let go of my pant leg and licked the
goo off my shoe. I wanted to say, "gross," but instead I said,
"thank you." I was hooked. His fur was a reddish brown and soft as
silk. Not caring about drool or dog hair, I sat down on the floor next to
Cookie, wrapped my arms around his neck, and finally felt at peace.


 


Another
glob of drool hit the floor next to my butt. He looked sad, like that was a
deal breaker and I'd leave him behind. I looked Cookie in his sad eyes and
laughed. He pulled back his goofy lips and smiled back.


 


That's
when I heard Clint's voice, "Well Josey, it looks like you found your soul
mate."


 


He
laughed, but not at my expense.


MY REVIEW:

I absolutely adore this cute romantic Christmas story.  I love Josey and Clint.  They are wonderful characters with a lot of chemistry.  Cookie is so cute and adorable. I love how Sharon brings Josey and Clint together because of Cookie.  Cookie is what Josey needs to heal and move on.  Clint is perfect for both Josey and Cookie. 

I absolutely love Sharon's books.  This one is no exception.  She writes with the same passion as she does in all her books.  It shows in her characters and also shows how much she loves animals.  I love how she includes animals and gives them a personality of their own in her books.  It makes the story so much more real and her characters feel so very real.  You have to pick up this book. You will absolutely enjoy this Christmas story.  I highly recommend reading this book and any other book by Sharon Kleve.  She is one of my favorite authors.  5 stars
