About the book: Sit, Stay, Love (Harvest House, April 2016) Take one abrasive professional athlete, a quirky out-of-work schoolteacher, and an overweight geriatric dog, and you're ready for a lesson in love . . . Tippy style. Pro baseball pitcher Cal Crawford is not a dog guy. When he inherits his deceased mother's elderly dog, Tippy, he's quick to call on a pet-sitting service. Gina isn't thrilled to be a dog sitter when her aspirations lie in the classroom. Furthermore, she can't abide the unfriendly Cal, a man with all the charm of a wet towel. But with no other prospects and a deep love for all things canine, she takes the job caring for Tippy. As Gina travels through Cal's world with Tippy in tow, she begins to see Cal in a different light. Gina longs to show Cal the God-given blessings in his life that have nothing to do with baseball or fame. When her longing blooms into attraction, Gina does her best to suppress it. But Cal is falling in love with her too . . . Discover the charming story of Tippy, the dog who brought a family together.

Website | Facebook | Twitter | Pinterest | Instagram My Review: I absolutely loved "Sit, Stay, Love;" Dana has created a funny, light-hearted read that will pull at your heart and leaving you smiling at the end.  I was not really sure what to expect when I first picked up this book, but I was immediately drawn into the book and into the characters' lives.  Cal has hardened his heart toward others for justifiable reasons; however he was not prepared for hos Tippy and Gina were going to worm their ways into his life and his heart.  Gina is still trying to recover from a broken relationship and let go of the past, and she has to moments of being too trusting and her moments of trying to keep her heart sealed off.  The characters are quirky, but this makes them so lovable and so real!  Uncle Oscar and Sweets are wonderful and I love the relationship that Cal has with them and their interactions.  Tippy of course is the star of the book and she helps the humans heal and find the love and support where needed.  I was so excited to see that Dana has another book coming out this summer! *Thanks to the Litfuse Publicity Group for including me on this blog tour and for the complimentary copy of this book in exchange for a honest review.*
