Review: Angels and Puppies, Oh My!
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 05 1, 2012
This is the second book in Mimi's "The Angels with Attitude Series". It is fast paced, and kept my attention throughout the entire story.  Mimi has a way of telling a story that will have you laughing out loud and rooting for the characters as you are reading. Even though this is the second in the series, each one can be read as a stand alone book. If you enjoy reading about angels or puppies you will enjoy this story containing both.Liam is an elite member of the Special Forces who has been sent home to recover after encountering a horrible battle in Iraq.  While he is trying to learn how to stop the nightmares he has to decide whether he wants to retire or reenlist his services.  How can he make such a huge decision when he can't even be near his childhood home without reliving hated memories of that childhood.Sadie is finally living on her own, though she still works in the family business she no longer has to live with her overbearing mother and sisters. She is a yoga instructor and dog walker/trainer for the older people that the rest of her family cares for.  As far as Sadie is concerned, men are idiots and she doesn't have the time nor interest for any of them.  Her mother and sisters are so determined to find a guy for her that she tries to avoid them as much as she can.Speeding through town without a care of what happens Liam is shocked to see someone else sitting in his car. Now he's seeing visions and hearing voices telling him to slow down.  Imagine his surprise when his ghost turns out to be an angel trying to help, but it's a little too late as Liam looks up to see a toddler in the street.Sadie is out for a jog and notices the child going into the street and before she knows it, she is following him. Swooping him into her arms she's still to late to avoid Liams car.  The child is unharmed, but not Sadie.  Liam is determined to get her help, but she won't go anywhere with him.  He finally gets her to let him take her to her mother who is a nurse--and the last place she wants to be.Since she has to spend time with her family she want to make him pay, but it backfires. Her mom talks him into walking the dogs for Sadie thinking it will be a walk in the park.  They never expected there was a ring of puppy thefts going on and the puppies they walk being stolen from their owner.Join Sadie and Liam, along with an angel on an adventure of making new friends, delivering a baby, missing puppies and men with guns. Can they each put all the bad things from their pasts behind them to move forward, or will the hurts stay with them enough that neither one can move on to the present and possibly a future.
