Holidays, Hounds and Hot Buys #Giveaway including The Returns and Showstoppers
Imagine that you arrive in heaven a bit too early, so you are directed to “The Returns” department. This is where FBI Agent Bentley Clanton finds himself after being shot in the line of duty. Returning to earth seems great at first; he hoped to return to Earth to finish his unsolved case. However, he discovers he is returning as a Basset Hound. How will he ever solve his case with Tucker (a fun-loving former Navy Seal, now Golden Retriever), Bones (a hot-blooded former boxer, now Chihuahua), Pierre (a flamboyant former fashion designer, now Westie), and Faith (former model, now their Guardian Angel). If you like cats, no worries, as they are also part of the pack. They are an unlikely group of crime-fighting heroes who you will root for throughout their adventures around New Orleans.
In Showstoppers, The Returns are back on the case. Someone is stealing the worlds top 
show dogs and they must sniff out the dog-nappers. In order to solve the case they will leave New Orleans, head to New York, go undercover, and add new members to the pack. As the publisher says, take a bite of The Big Apple with your favorite fun loving, junk food eating, and crime fighting canines. You can read Showstoppers as a stand-alone book but when you are finished you will want to read The Returns anyway, so indulge yourself and read them in order.
M.K. Clinton has brought together a wonderful group of characters influenced by some of her real life animals. She weaves life 
lessons into truly fun stories. The Returns and Showstoppers are sure to entertain you and are must-reads if you are a pet lover age 10…or 110. To quote M.K. Clinton, “The world would be a nicer place if everyone had the ability to love as unconditionally as a dog”. I cannot wait for her next book!
Shasta and I give both books 
5/5
You’ll be laughing and barking out loud!
