A Pet for Christmas (Christmas Veteran's book 2) written by Rachelle Ayala narrated by Elizabeth Klett | Cat's Audiobook Review & #giveaway @AyalaRachelle


A Pet for Christmas

Christmas Veteran's book 2



Kelly Kennedy thought her life was finally on track. Engaged to the man of her dreams and with a baby on the way, she reassures her five-year-old daughter Bree, that the father she picked for Christmas still loves her.

Unfortunately, war veteran Tyler Manning has been away most of the year. Recovering from PTSD isn't easy. Rather than worry Kelly, Tyler spends his time traveling to Afghanistan to work at a children's charity he founded.

Kelly decides to distract Bree with promises of a pet for Christmas. When Tyler is taken hostage by terrorists, she finds it hard to convince Bree that they will truly be a family in time for Christmas.

A Pet for Christmas is a sequel to A Father for Christmas. While it can be listened to as a standalone, you'll get more of the relationship aspect between Kelly, Tyler, and Bree by listening to A Father for Christmas first.

Story
A pet for Christmas picks up from A Father for Christmas. Tyler is struggling with his PTSD and spending a lot of time traveling with his new job helping underprivileged kids in Aghganistan and other countries. When there is a bombing at the new sports complex he finds himself on an adventure to save his life and get back home to Kelly and Bree.

Kelly is pregnant and it's high risk. She is dealing with her new job, Tyler pulling away and now Bree insisting on meeting her real dad.and a puppy. This is a very sweets story with some suspense mixed in.

I love Tyler and held my breath through his ordeal. and Little Bree is such a sweet heart. I have never connected with Kelly.

The story is faced paced and a lot is going on that keeps you turning the page. My only issue is its very Christian oriented although that's not a dealbreaker I felt there were just too many scriptures quoted.

I listened to the audiobook and have to say that Elizabeth Klett is amazing. She gives each character a special voice and Bree sounded sweet. she also adds in the action and uses plenty of inflections in her voice so it never feels as if she is just reading.

If you like clean sweet romance with a little action this and a sweet holiday story this is for you.
