My Thoughts:
This was a cute novella where Ali and B. Simpson are getting ready to get married. They are in Las Vegas with Ali's family and their friends when B takes his soon to be grandkids shopping they come back with more than presents.
B is carrying a dog a mini-dachshund who was thrown into the street which brought Ali's grandson rescuing the dog. As B. and Ali try to track down the previous owner they learn something things about the precious dog named Bella who was cared for until recently. The woman who owned her got sick and the son didn't seem to like Bella and ditched her on the road. What are B. and Ali to do but find out what they can and see if her owner still wanted her.
As the days pass the relationship between B., Bella, and Ali grows stronger as Bella wiggles her way into their heart. I enjoyed this little novella which brought a dog into the mix. I loved how Ali and B. did try to do the right thing by locating the owner and was glad it worked out in the end!
