Inherited Love by Katie Mettner

There’s much to love about author Katie Mettner’s Inherited Love. Cuddly dogs & heroes, characters with regular imperfections (I don’t like perfect dudes and dames!) and plenty of goodness to go round. I enjoy wholesome stories like these where there’s more good than evil, tantalizingly unusual names to mull over and protagonists who aren’t the perfect body shape, always swathed in designer glad rags.

Author Katie Mettner with her novel

Cinnamon Mabel Dalton (Cinn for short) has a cracker-jack of a grandmother, and she’s just inherited a slobbering Saint Bernard and a house from her. With no clue about how to take care of him, she starts talking about pet care with Dr. Foster Kern, a slightly chubby, baby-faced vet and director of the Humane Society, as well as a friend of her grandmother’s (he’s just a few years older than our Cinn here). What begins as a tete-a-tete in a dog park named after Cinn’s grandmother, turns into so much more.

When the dogs at the humane society begin to fall ill, Cinnamon and Foster embark on a mystery-solving expedition to get to the bottom of it. And while they’re working their way through this, they understand not only what makes each other tick, but also what they need to create a solid, long-lasting relationship.

Body image issues, real life illness, work that’s fueled by passion instead of the need for earning big bucks and finally, the things that are so much more important in any relationship, form the weave and weft of the novel.

Written at a jaunty pace with characters that could very well be you or your next door neighbor (i.e. wholesomely real), Inherited Love is a great story to read while sipping your morning coffee. Tuck it into your travel bag, read it while you wait for the bus, or curl up with it in the evenings - this story will sweeten your day for sure.

Get your copy on Kindle or Amazon, and dive right in.
