Danielle’s Review

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with FTC guidelines.


The Cowboy’s Journey Home by Linda Goodnight is part of Love Inspired’s K-9 Companions sweet romance series.

In this story, the K9 Companion is a retired Military Working Dog. Paired with a medically discharged soldier, Yates, the two return to the cowboy’s home. But things aren’t the same and he isn’t sure he wants to be there, especially as injured as he is.

Laurel is a journalist attempting to save her family’s small town newspaper. She and Yates had a Romeo and Juliet type of secret romance before he left to join the military after tragedy struck. Now they have an opportunity to work together to help a family—and maybe overcome their past.

Yates is a wounded warrior and faces physical and emotional challenges. It made me hope for a happily ever after for him! I struggled to get a read on Laurel at first, but by the end, I loved her pluck, determination, and honesty. Things could have gone a totally different direction without her and I’m glad they didn’t!

If you enjoy sweet romance, with an adorable K9, give this book a read.
