Fetching Sweetness: A Novel for Dog Lovers by Dana Mentink Book Review

Fetching Sweetness (Harvest House, July 2016)
Standing between Stephanie and her dream is one hundred pounds of lovable trouble.
It should have been so simple for Stephanie Pink: Meet up with Agnes Wharton in a small town in California, retrieve the reclusive author’s valuable new manuscript, and be promoted to a full-fledged literary agent.
But Agnes’s canine companion, Sweetness, decides to make a break for it before Stephanie can claim her prize. Until Agnes has Sweetness safely back at home in Eagle Cliff, Washington, Stephanie will never set eyes on the manuscript she needs to make her dreams come true.
When Stephanie tracks the runaway mutt to a campground, she meets Rhett Hastings—a man also on the run from a different life and a costly mistake. Rhett agrees to help Stephanie search for the missing dog…thus launching a surprising string of adventures and misadventures.
Once Sweetness gets added to the mix, it’s a recipe for love and loss, merriment and mayhem, fun and faith in the backwoods of the Pacific Northwest.

My review;
Stephanie Pink wants to be a literary agent and be on her own. Agnes Wharton is an author who has just finished her new book. Everything seems to be going fine. Agnes lives in California and Stephanie goes to meet her. Sweetness is a dog who is owned by Agnes. But, he has decided that he wants to run away just at the wrong time . Agnes told Stephanie to find him and bring him back and then she will give her the book she wrote. Stephanie goes out and tries to find Sweetness, after all she wants to get to fulfill her dream. It will not be easy, though. Stephanie is alone for part of the way and then meets a man, Rhett Hastings who wants to help her find Sweetness. Along the way they start to feel differently about a lot of things that are going on in their lives. I really liked this book and I give it a 4/5. I was given this book and all  opinions are my own.
