MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n I have very much enjoyed each and every one of my trips to the Independence Islands through the books of this series. Mishaps On the Mainland<\/em> is yet another entertaining yet encouraging novel with the island setting. It features Melody Carmichael, owner of a mobile pet grooming service and Zeke Solomon who has escaped a desk job in his father’s company in order to follow a life more suited to his personality. He also desperately wants to prove himself to his dad.<\/p>\n As the title implies, Mel’s life is fraught with one mishap after another. Her worst nightmare has seen the light of day in the escape of a client’s dog. To make it worse, she has not been able to find the dog for days on end – not even with the help of Zeke, the client’s handsome grandson. An older grooming vehicle that has one expensive breakdown after another does not help her situation and Mel fears that her business may be over barely before it begins. A match-making grandmother and parents complicate things even more.<\/p>\n The plot moves at a steady pace with delightful characters and great dialogue. It was fun running across characters from previous books in the series. I loved Mel’s honesty about her discouragement in her faith and Zeke’s steady support and encouragement through her problems even when he had issues of his own. The resolution to Mel’s problems was a pleasant surprise if\u00a0 not 100% how life usually turns out. But miracles do happen, even if God uses someone else to provide them.<\/p>\n I would recommend each and every book in this series. Each can stand on its on but there is also a connection between them that adds to their enjoyment.<\/p>\n I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by Celebrate Lit. A favorable review was not required. All views expressed are my own.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" "\\"divider2\\"")
