Hound Dog & Bean is a wonderful story about two men who meet under a less than ideal situation.  Hound Dog (or H.D.) is an eccentric character that has had many losses in his young life and finds animals more trustworthy than humans. Bean runs a coffee shop and has not had many good experiences with love. His shop has pretty much become his life. That is, until Hound Dog comes into his store one day and Bean ends up taking a punch to the face that had been intended for H.D.. The story is both humorous and touching. The writing style is engaging and vivid. I loved both H.D. and Bean and enjoyed watching their story unfold.  The secondary characters of Elaine, Mara and Ezzie are lovely and the hint of magic woven though out the story fit perfectly.  It was very interesting to learn more about the history of coffee and coffee roasting and as coffee and rescue pet's are near and dear to my heart, this was a perfect combination.
