Needing a change of scene, Griffin Burke moves from Brisbane to Coolum Beach to start a new job. The beautiful white sand, aqua-coloured ocean, blue skies, and summer breezes are everything he longs for. What he finds is a mud-covered dog, lost and hungry, with a nametag and a phone number.
Dane Hughes is stuck in Surfers Paradise at a week-long work conference when he gets a phone call from his distraught mother. His dog, his fur baby, Wicket, has run away. Unable to leave and feeling helpless and miserable, he gets a text from a guy. “I think I found your dog…”
Griffin and Dane start talking, and Griffin agrees to look after Wicket until Dane can collect him. With a few days left before his new job starts, Griffin takes Wicket on some coastal adventures and sends Dane photos of their fun, and so the start of something new and kind of wonderful begins.
Griffin might have moved to Coolum in search of a new life, but what he finds is so much more. What he gets to keep just might take some four-legged help.
I think Wicket knew exactly what he was doing when he found you...
N.R. Walker did it again!
She's the master in making what seems like 'just another ordinary things' turned into something Wowmazing story with her writing.
I must admit that Insta-love was usually NOT my thing, but in N.R. Walker hands, I found out that the story far from cheesy messy things, instead I feel it heartwarming and I can't stop my face from grinning and swooning the whole reading!
When his previous relationship turned into ugly breakup, Dane decided that he need a break and focusing on his job and spoiled his dog, Wicket.
And no one ever knew how the universe work its magic, but when you stop 'searching', the universe will do its way to bring your other half right to your nose in unbelievable way...
Dane never thought that his darling baby dog, Wicket will took part in finding his other half in completely unbelievable way.
But Wicket seems to 'know' right from the very start that he can find the right man for his daddy and also another daddy for himself.
Griffin just moving from Brisbane to Coolum Beach to start his new job as a manager at the local beach hotel when he accidentally found a stray dog covered in mud on his way to hiking park.
And he never thought that the dog he saved will lead him into the love of his life...
I love the writing right from the start. It's love at first impression when the two MC's start their growing emotions even before they meet in person. But you can feel that the connection is there through the chat conversations and phone call.
How the author write the scenes and build the reader anticipation was amazing. Even it's insta-love and both Dane and Griffin had laid their feeling on the table, but its written in medium pace and slow. The chemistry was there right from the start, the sexual tensions between the two MC's were also feels right on it place.
The secondary characters were also lovable. I really like Griffin's landlady, Bernice and her 'no filter' mouth that put Griffin's face in fifty shade of red so many times. And I blushes along with Griffin each time she teasing him.
I love the way the author include the dog feelings by showing its mind through his cute expressions. It's another plus side in this story.
Finders Keepers is a fun, sweet and heartwarming story with a dog that took part as a matchmaker and finding his daddy a new lover and have their HEA in cute and simple way.
N.R. Walker never fails to amaze me with her simply ordinary story but wrapped in amazing writing.
“Finding him that day was the best thing that ever happened to me. Because then I found you.”
“Finders keepers?”
“For always.”
Highly Recommended!
N.R. Walker is an Australian author, who loves her genre of gay romance.
She loves writing and spends far too much time doing it, but wouldn’t have it any other way.
She is many things: a mother, a wife, a sister, a writer. She has pretty, pretty boys who live in her head, who don’t let her sleep at night unless she gives them life with words.
She likes it when they do dirty, dirty things… but likes it even more when they fall in love.
She used to think having people in her head talking to her was weird, until one day she happened across other writers who told her it was normal.
She’s been writing ever since…
