Description

<p>When Jessica Bryant pesters her wealthy parents to allow her to have a dog as a pet, the answer is a resounding &quot;No&quot;; but they soon come to regret their decision when thier home is broken into one evening whilst they are out and their daughter kidnapped and held for ransom. The kidnappers, in the form of four seedy and incompetent characters wearing Disneyland-type masks, take her hostage and keep her incarcerated in a place from which there appears to be no escape. However, they reckon without the resourcefulness of our heroine, and the courage of a wonderful stray dog who comes to her aid and whom she names 'Murdo'. And so begins an exciting and humurous accounting of the couples' adventures together as they consistently foil and outwit the abductors whilst on the run together.<br /> This is a lovely story of the friendship between a girl and a dog, bringing out themes of responsibility, camaraderie, redemption, salvation and self-sacrifice. It includes some wonderful dialogue sequences as Jessica teaches her new four-legged friend how to communicate with her, with additional delightful conversations between the animals when a rabbit and a sparrow join forces with them in an effort to outwit the kidnappers and restore Jessica safely back to her parents' home. </p>

Lissa is realistic in all her actions, even down to being a klutz and trying to accept compliments. I love her spunk, to go on with life no matter what she faces... Jessica Coulter Smith pens a story where I sat in anticipation of the outcome of Lissa, Jesse, and Jared. It was a pin and needles, on-edge, page-turner for me.&quot;<br />Cherokee, <em>Coffee Time Romance</em><br />Rating: 4 cups<br /><br /></span></font></font></p> <p><font face="Verdana"><font size="2"><strong>Manic Readers</strong><br />&quot;Jessica Coulter Smith delivers an intriguing paranormal novel with twists and turns that will keep you guessing and with the thought of getting a wonderful happily ever after.&quot;<br />rating: 3.5 out of 5</font></font></p> <p><font face="Verdana"><font size="2"><strong>Diana, Night Owl Romance</strong><br />&quot;Ms. Coulter-Smith did a marvelous job interweaving twist and turns to keep her readers turning the pages and she created characters that were believable.
