A tale that will leave paw prints on your heart.
Welcome to the dog-friendly town of Dragonfly Cove, where you’ll find plenty of heartwarming moments that blend canine companionship into the everyday lives of ordinary people to create extraordinary stories.

Loyal & True by USA Today bestselling author Ev Bishop is the fifth book in the Dragonfly Cove Dog Park series.
When Leo Tremblay moves to Dragonfly Cove, Florida, to help her sister Vrai run the quaint and cozy beachfront bookstore, Beach Reads, it’s like a plot from the novels she loves to read—a dream come true. They’re even going to get Labrador puppies from the same litter together!
Then Vrai dies, and the idyllic fantasy turns into a nightmare. Can Leo reconcile seemingly opposite new realities: deep mourning and gratitude and happy excitement over new relationships she’s building?
The Dragonfly Cove Dog Park series is perfect for fans of women's fiction who love stories that are as heartwarming as they are entertaining.

Crushing Grief Helped By Puppy Love. While the previous two books in this series - Hearts Unleashed and Back In The Pack - both dealt with grief, this is the first book that *really* makes you *feel* its power. Here, our main character starts out just a short period of time after tragically losing her much more vibrant sister... and now has to figure out how to achieve the dreams they were supposed to achieve together, alone.
Enter the power of Puppy Love.
When Leo maintains her commitment to pick up both of the dogs she and her sister were supposed to get from local dog breeder Leslie, suddenly she *has* to get out of bed - puppies aren't so great about feeding themselves, and if you leave them cooped up in your bedroom with you... it is going to get very messy and stinky very rapidly.
Thus, just going through the motions of keeping her dogs fed and walked gets Leo moving more than she'd have liked... and begins her healing process.
Along the way Leo encounters more people in the community and with more interaction comes more healing... in its own time and manner.
Ultimately this is one of the more gray books of the series, but very powerful in its own right - particularly for those who are also experiencing such crushing grief. And hey, that's the power of puppies, right there. ;)
Very much recommended.
