3.0

This is a cute mystery/romance about a dog walker whose clients end up being robbed, but just one item is stolen and not the most expensive thing the thief could take. It's up to Rylee the dog walker and a cute reporter named Logan to figure it out. This is a Christian romance/mystery so there are religious references throughout. I must say that the religious references came off a little preachy at times and not natural. I think that the authors could have weaved faith into the story in a more subtle way. There's one part of the story where Logan goes to visit his parents and literally the first question is "why haven't you been to church?" It came off as really awkward. Christian romance/mysteries can be really off putting if they come off as holier than thou. That said, the story was interesting, although somewhat predictable. This is one of those books that you can read if you don't mind religious references and are just looking for a fluffy mystery with some romance thrown in.
