The Veteran's Vow by Jill Lynn Review

 Hello Everyone :)

I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess.

It's January 14th today, and that means that tomorrow is my birthday. I'm honestly kind of dreading it this year, as I've had a very tough year, and while my hubby had planned some things this year for my birthday to try and raise my spirits a bit, everything unfortunately had to be canceled due to circumstances beyond our control.

So instead, I'm hoping to curl up with some great books.

If you're been reading my blog for awhile, then you'd probably already know that Jill Lynn is one of my favorite authors, and I always look forward to her new book releases.

Her upcoming release is a beautiful story, and today I can't wait to share with you all my full review of it.

My Review:

I'm going to be straight up honest and say that I wouldn't ever usually pick up a dog book. I'm not a dog person, so I don't usually find myself interested in books where they play a big part. However, if one author can cause me to give one of these books a chance, I'm not surprised that it was Jill Lynn. 

I absolutely adored this one, and never wanted to see it come to an end. I loved getting an up close look into the many capabilities that service dogs have, and I truly adored Margo throughout the entire story. She was definitely one of my favorite parts of the story, and I loved how she's willing to work with Behr to help him work through his fears. I found Behr's character to be really refreshing and unique. He's suffering through unimaginable circumstances, and yet he still knows how to trust God though it all, and keep his sense of humor in the process. Ellery was also a character I enjoyed right from the start. She's taken the grief from losing her only brother and channeled it into a way to help other veteran's and honor her brother in the process.

I loved how this entire story felt realistic, and all of the growth showed by the characters felt like it was something that could honestly happen. I also really enjoyed the natural way that the relationship between Ellery and Behr progresses, and it blended seamlessly and authentically into the rest of the story.

Perhaps my favorite part of the entire story however was the beautiful relationship that Behr's entire family has. I loved that, and thought it added an extra wonderful bit to an already lovely story.

Jill Lynn has yet to disappoint me, and this one might just be my favorite by her yet.

Final Rating: 5/5.
