THE SWEETHEART BARGIAN starts off with Olivia Linscott making her way to the town of Rescue Bay after a mysterious lawyer shows up at her house with a deed to her mother's old animal shelter. Confused and uncertain as to why her biological mother would leave her the house and animal shelter when she left her as a baby at a Boston hospital. So Olivia leaves her house, family and friends to hopefully start a new beginning for herself. Luke Winslow has had a terrible year, after being hurt in the only career he has ever wanted to do. He lives his life away from people and their prying eyes.

I really loved THE SWEETHEART BARGIAN it is such an inspiring story about love, loss and struggling with our inner demons. I loved both of the characters of Olivia and Luke. Olivia is a head strong woman who has recently divorced since her husband couldn't keep it in his pants and is also very determined to take care of the animal shelter that she inherited from the mother she never knew. Luke is a very depressed after losing partial eye sight from his job as a rescue helicopter pilot and just wants to be left alone.

Olivia is very determined to help Luke and maybe befriend him. Together they help each other fight the demons of their past. Little do they know Luke's grandmother has a little something up her sleeve and with the help of her two friends she plans to get everybody in Rescue Bay married off. THE SWEETHEART BARGAIN has humor, love and everything else that I want in a book and more.

In the end Luke realizes that Olivia has rescued him as he has rescued many lives before. I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to read more from this wonderful author.

Book Summary

You can't teach an old dog new tricks unless you're a Sweetheart Sister?

The Sweetheart Sisters, a trio of sassy, well–meaning grannies (who aren't against a sip of bourbon with breakfast) are ready to dispense advice and help create happy endings with a little of what they do best meddling.

Animal therapist Olivia Linscott is the Sweetheart Sisters' first target. Running from a bad marriage and a lousy job, Olivia is determined to save the dog shelter she inherited from the mother she never knew and, above all, to protect her broken heart. The Sisters want to tie the spirited young do–gooder to wounded helicopter pilot Luke Winslow, but the intended pair keeps slipping the leash.

Luke's dreams were shattered by a career–ending eye injury. Adrift and bitter, the last thing he wants is romantic involvement. But when a golden retriever in worse shape than he is scratches on the door, the dog brings in a whole lot more than puppy love?
