Marigold Evans’ first attempt at rescuing an abandoned pooch lands her in the underground sewer lines of Houston’s Buffalo Bayou. . .and almost in jail, until Parker Jenson comes to her defense. Then a bad day only gets worse as the Lone Star Vet Clinic, where they both work, is vandalized and the list of suspects starts to climb. With the help of her fellow employees, Marigold sets out to simultaneously solve the crime, rehab the rescued dog, and help more dogs in crisis. But why would anyone continue to work against all their good efforts?

Off the Chain is a doggone good book!
Mari the main character and her best friend Cassidy are hilarious apart and together! They are kind of in their own world but with hearts of gold and hormones too. I enjoyed watching as they played off each other from girl talk to work support and more.
Mari’s grandmother was also a character and almost stole the spotlight a time or two. She’s the upright church matron who supports her granddaughter and loves her to bits.
There was great character building. You get to see that Mari is more than a ditsy blonde. She’s someone who is passionate about making a difference for dogs and has pretty good discernment about people.
She is kind but not a pushover and manages to match needy dogs with people who need them. Along the way she deals with vandalism of the clinic where she works, a suspicious best friend of her boss and a cranky business neighbor.
This book leaves you with the following messages:
· Don’t judge a person by appearances
· Don’t give up on your dreams
· It’s okay to ask for help while dreaming
· Trust God to work things out in your favor
It is a great book for dog lovers, and it leaves you with lots of warm fuzzies.

Hi Stormy Vixen, it really is a great read. The pacing was perfect for me, there was no lag where I might say, ik, time to switch books and come back to this.
Thanks for stopping by!
Cute cover. Sounds good.
Thank you for sharing, I like how the book is based in Texas. I'm a Texan. Sounds great!
Fun book for Summer reading.
