Author: Bonnie Blythe
Publisher: Treble Heart Ebooks
ISBN: 1-928-60274-6

An engagement ring is the last thing Melody Laurent expects to land at her feet when she takes an evening stroll in a park to contemplate her unmarried status.

Unfortunately, the ring is not for her but a cast-off from an engagement proposal gone sour. When she tries to return the ring to the jilted owner, Melody is snubbed by the handsome firefighter who lives in her building.

After his girlfriend's humiliating proposal rejection, Firefighter Avery Knight swears off women. He is shocked and embarrassed when his neighbor returns his ring, and he determines not to have anything to do with the pretty woman. But in a desperate moment of need, Avery asks Melody to baby-sit his precocious puppy, Barney. It's a toss-up as to who gets into more trouble, Melody or Barney. When Melody gets into one scrape after another, Avery repeatedly comes to her rescue. Though he is determined not to be swayed by Melody's charming English accent and delicious homemade treats, Avery is weakening.

Melody soon realizes Avery is everything she wants in a man. But when Cindy, Avery's ex-girlfriend, steps back into his life, Melody panics. She neglects to pray about her relationship with Avery, and instead, formulates a plan to win him over for good. Will Melody's plan work, or will it be another of her hair-brained ideas that backfires and ends in disaster?

This enchanting romance is the first book by author Bonnie Blythe. She has an obvious talent for formulating well-rounded, captivating characters that pull you right into the heart of the story. Melody's Knight is pleasantly laced with just the right amount of humor. A hero and heroine with special appeal and yet challenging conflict between them, a delightful secondary character in the form of a wayward puppy, and a story that keeps you reading to the very end, are just a few elements that makes Melody's Knight a satisfying read. I eagerly look forward to hearing more from this talented author.
