Yorkie to My Heart: A Friends of Gaynor Beach Animal Rescue Romance by Gabbi Grey


Another adorable Friends of Gaynor Beach Animal Rescue romance... 

From the Yorkie to My Heart blurb:

Phillip

Devastated at being dumped by the guy I loved, I’m struggling to put my life back together. My social worker suggested a new start in an LGBTQ-friendly town where I might make friends and meet people like myself. A new town doesn’t mean I suddenly become great with people, but Wally, an overweight Yorkie in need of love, prances into my life, like a dog version of me. Taking care of him is healing, and I want to forge a new future for us. Who needs men anyway?

Jeremy

When I nearly trip over my solitary new neighbor and his adorable dog, I’m smitten. But getting past his guarded aloofness won’t be easy. Phillip could clearly use some friends, and I’m always happy to open my circle here in my hometown of Gaynor Beach. No one should be that alone. The guy’s rescue of Wally the Yorkie makes my heart melt, and the more time I spend with the two of them, the more I find myself falling for the shy man. Will I be able to break through Phillip’s walls, or are we destined to only remain friends?

Yorkie to My Heart is a slow-burn, age-gap, opposites attract, gay romance between a shy man with a heart of gold and the gregarious, outgoing man who might just love him.

CW: mention of previous suicide attempt.


Heather's Review:

I'm a sucker for opposites attract, especially when it's a shy guy finding his place in the world that opens up because he befriends an outgoing man, who helps him get over his shyness and they build each other up!  Toss in an adorable pup with his own issues (and who really steals the spotlight as main character) and it's a beautiful story.  I love that Gabbi Grey doesn't rush the relationship, giving both men a chance to get to know each other and get a feel for who they are beyond their initial appearance.

I also love how supportive the Gaynor Beach community is and how Phillip is able to work towards not only piecing his life together, but also making it stronger than before.

This book does deal with the aftermath of an attempted suicide, but handles it in a mostly positive and progressing way.


Yorkie to My Heart is currently available as a paperback and an e-book and can be read with your Kindle Unlimited subscription.
