I am going to start out by saying I love my baby bassets soooo much. SO MUCH! Now with that said, ARG! Why is it two days before we are going camping to a place that is having a Halloween event that includes a costume contest, do my sweet loving children decide to tell me they want to dress up? TWO DAYS!!! They want to be characters from a video game that will require me making things, and buying trench coats. Thank golly for thrift stores, but still. Two days?? I know most of you are thinking, “Hey! Two days is more than what most kids will give ya!” Some of you may say to just say it’s too late and to teach them a life lesson and not put it together for them. While I agree with your thought, I just can’t. The oldest stopped wanting to wear costumes two years ago, but is willing to this year because his younger brother wants to do a buddy costume. Awwwww. Such sweet brothers. Say no to that? ERG! Off to the thrift stores!

They can’t trust him with their shoes, but they can trust him with their hearts.
Since Nick Marshall’s wife died, he’s been struggling to keep a lid on his PTSD and raise his stepdaughter Chloe and her younger half-sister, Abby. He’s always run a tight ship, but when he learns that Chloe’s flunking out, he becomes even more rigid and controlling: no extracurricular activities, just chores and schoolwork until she brings her grades up.
It’s only after she gets into a fight at school that he realizes there’s a deeper problem that he has no idea how to handle. Worse, his late wife’s sister is working with Chloe’s biological father to take custody away from him.
Out of desperation, he takes her teacher’s suggestion and brings home a dog from the Pretty Paws Shelter named Max. The girls bond with Max, but the dog’s playful enthusiasm drives Nick crazy — he craves calm, not chaos.
Can Max help Nick reconnect with Chloe before her meddling aunt and deadbeat father split the family for good?
Chocolate-Covered Chaos is the third book in the Soul Mutts series, heartwarming stories of lost dogs finding new homes with the humans they were born to heal.
