Such a cute romance--complete with adorable dogs! Loved it!

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

Tess and Mason are a cute couple but the the pups are even cuter! Tess is back from Europe & is trying to set up her dog training & therapy business. She stumbles across Mason one day. He’s suffered a potentially career ending injury & is surprised she has no idea who he is. He enjoys her company due to this. I loved Tess’s grandma. She’s Italian & knows exactly who he is but is matchmaking & keeps it to herself. I enjoyed the storyline with the male dog & the puppies. They were very endearing. This was a cute sweet romance & an entertaining read.

Love any book that's main character is a dog or pet. John Ronald was a fave for sure. His humans put on a good show and a good story. Another winner for Burns

This is a must read!!!!!!!!!! this book is so good, The characters were a very good match but John Ronald the dog was the best. This is a series, I have read one of the others, I want to read the one I missed and I really look forward to the new ones to come. I did not feel like i missed anything by not reading the book, I missed,

I recommend not starting this book when you can't finish it because you will not want to put it down!!!!!

I highly recommend this book and thank you netgalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for allowing me to read this title for an honest review.

While I liked Mason and Tessa, I loved the dog, John Ronald. Most of his inner dialogue made me smile.
If you are a dog lover, or really just an animal lover, you'll love this book.

This is my first book by this author. I enjoyed the book and it did not interfere with the story at all that I had not read any other of her books that came before this one. Very enjoyable read. Plus, I love puppies, so that plot made me smile. I received a free copy for my review and here it is! Get it, read it, like it!

this is the third book in the Recuse me series by Debbie Burns. I read the first one and saw that Net Galley had the this one available for review. This is part of the series but can be read as a standalone.

I enjoyed it. I really like the shelter and how they care for the animals. This one is about Tess who is back from living in Europe. She was to start a dog trainer/therapy business and goes to work at the shelter. She meets Mason who is walking his neighbor's dog. She seems to be the only person who does not know who he is. The romance is sweet and the dogs sweeter. The writing is very good.

This was a very good book. I am off to get the second one in the series. I will read more books by Debbie Burns

This is the 3rd book in the series. Good but not as great as the previous ones. I like the story of John Ronald's rescue and the puppies more than the actual love story here.

What a sweet, sweet book. It had all the elements you look for in a book you want to just curl up with to read. Tess Grasso (a vet school drop out) has a heart as big as some of the canines she takes care of at an animal shelter, at which she volunteers.She is wonderful at what she does, which makes me wonder "Tess....girl why arent' you going back to school?" But then as I read the book I understood why. All these animals need is someone to love them. The degree a person has or doesnt have will not matter to them. And love them is what Tess does.
Then there is Mason, a famous baseball player and hometown hero come back to recuperate after an accident brought on by too much partying and good life.
Tess and Mason meet over a runaway homeless dog. What ensues is a crazy chase. But then who is actually chasing whom? That's the question, and the rest of the book gives you the answer. It's a merry chase that if full of fun, suprises and laughter.
Some secrets are exposed along the way, some secrets can destroy relationships and some can bring them closer toghether.
Nice story overall.

I love all of Debbie Burns books. It's like keeping up with different people that are friends and family.
Tess Grasso wants to have her own pet therapy business some day. She meets Mason Redding who she doesn't know is a baseball player who is doing rehab from a car accident.
It seems she is the only one that doesn't know who he is.
The reasoning is he wants to be sure she likes him for him not as a groupie.
It has a lot animals in it and you are rooting for each one. There are laugh out loud scenes and it doesn't disappoint you one bit. Thanks for letting me read the arc! I can't wait for the next book in the series!

My Forever Home by Debbie Burns Review.

OMG This book is puptastic!
I'm rating it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


The first thing that caught my attention with this book on # NetGalley was the cover, the big fluffy dog, the red coat and the snowy background. I am a sucker for festive romance and pups, so this was a must read.

Whilst the festive season was a background theme and not the main event didn’t put me off as the plot sucked me in from the first page. I had not read book one in the Rescue Me series, but that is on me and my error will soon be rectified.

The characters are multidimensional which, for me, is critical to a good story. Tess has a past, which altered her whole life view. Mason has suffered a possible career altering injury and has become jaded with the world he socialises in. But the character who really makes this book for me is Tess’s grandma, what can I say? She’s Italian LOL.

Oh and not to be left out the star of the show, John Ronald, what a pup! I just wanted to hug the fur off of him, what a character, I could picture him perfectly in my mind whilst reading this book.

A huge thanks to #Netgalley and #SourceBooks

Excellent book! This is the third book in the Rescue Me series and I enjoyed a return visit to the High Grove Animal Shelter. This book, however, is a stand-alone that isn't dependent on the having read the first two books (although I can recommend them as excellent reads as well). This is a touching story of Tess and Mason, with a supporting role by John Ronald, the stray that helps get them together. Getting to read a few glimpses from John Ronald's perspective was a fun touch. I was drawn in to the story from the first page and hated to see it end. I look forward to book #4!

I received an arc from Netgalley. Nice easy read and a love story where one person yearns for the other to know him for himself and not for fame. Both have a heart and love for dogs which is endearing.

I loved this book! It was such a great story and I loved all the characters. The story flowed really well. Tess and Mason were perfect together. I also enjoy books where dogs play a part in the story. I'm very interested in seeing where this series go next.

Debbie Burns' My Forever Home is a another book in her Rescue Me series. I loved getting to see Tess and Mason again. I especially love getting to see the two of them together as a couple.

OMG I’d give this book 10 stars......I absolutely loved it ........I loved how the author not only gave Tess and Mason’s part of the story but a few chapters tells the stray dog John Ronald’s life he had gone through so you can understand the story better.....great writing.....I will look for more books written by her

Tess wants her to start her own business healing and dealing with pets and their problems She dropped out of vet school, but still wanted to work with animals. She sees a man trying to catch his dog on a cold rainy night, but the dog wouldn't have it. She helps solve problem and eventually gets to know him, although she really doesn't know who he is. A good story, with some dog care tips mixed in and a very strong, but subtle push for adoption. Animals lovers will absolutely adore this book.
