Review: Kurt by Dale Mayer 4 of 5 stars

Kurt by Dale Mayer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kurt was a badass when growing up but knew his life had to change and so joined the US Navy. Fourteen years later a request from Badger to check out a missing War Dog which is allegedly hiding in the bushes and attacking people send Kurt right back to the place he left with no intention to ever go back to. When Kurt chose the navy over Laurie Ann years ago he left her with a precious gift that she has fought long and hard to keep while not giving up on her dreams to become a doctor. When Kurt returns it is really hard not to see the person that she loved in this older version but the town has a very long memory with at least one person unwilling to see Kurt as he is now. He is a trouble magnet - can he handle the trouble they are in now or will he leave just like he did before?

I really enjoyed this story which showed just how small towns work and how long the memory of anything bad from the past can last. I love Laurie Ann and how she always could see the good in Kurt as well as what a great Mum she was for her son. I was thrilled when they ended back together as a family unit as well as the way that the dog played such a central role in the story. Well written and easy to read and understand.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
