Rescue on the Farm: An Uplifting Inspirational Romance is book 30 in the K-9 Companions series by Allie Pleiter. Narrated by Britta Cole.

Grant is a grumpy police officer who is home at his mom’s on forced leave. He thinks his mother is being foolish opening an animal rescue with her sister’s on her land. Meg is a widow with 2 young daughters who runs a cafe and is struggling.
In the beginning, I found Grant to be very condescending towards his mother and her plans for what to do with her time on her property. Fortunately, he is redeemed as the story goes on. This was a sweet story with two wounded people healing and coming together. The way Grant was with the girls was adorable, especially after an incident with the puppies. I plan to read or listen to other books in this series.

I thought the narrator did a good job. I was able to listen without being distracted by her. It was like listening to a show on TV. For me, if I’m noticing the narrator, that is not good.
