Caleb is on medical leave as a K-9 officer and the last thing he wants in his life is another dog. Kerry is trying to manage life as her father's caretaker and a new job. Caleb offers to help with Kerry's dad and soon a friendship to develops. They are both hiding past turmoils in their life's but will Willow save the day? A heartwarming story that Willow steals by heart. Great characters that I so enjoyed reading. This is the second story in the series but can be read as a stand alone.

This second book of the series, truly a stand alone, is just as touching as book one. Caleb Bradshaw is an airman K-9 officer who recently both got injured and lost his partner. He has become a hermit during his medical leave with a future filled with unknowns. Kerry Williams, is his new next door neighbor .A young woman full of life , with a corgi , WIllow, who is a therapy dog. The dog seems to realize Caleb needs help and has multiple escapades into Caleb’s yard, much to his dismay. But as time goes on, Willow starts her magic and Caleb starts to heal thanks to Kerry and Willow. Little does Caleb know that Kerry too has had to overcome a situation that almost crushed her. In addition to an engaging plot and imperfect, strong characters that you will grow to love , I appreciated other points of the story. The reminder that the brave men and women who fight for our safety and freedom, suffer injuries and are affected not only physically but also emotionally and psychologically . Helping them heal , in this case with therapy dogs, is of great importance. Thank you , Ms. Flockton for that reminder. I was entrusted a copy of this book by Netgalley. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Next Door Knight was a good 4 star read and book two in the Man’s Best Friend series. This is Kerry and Caleb’s story. Kerry has her father living with her temporarily while he heals from two broken legs. When her dog runs off she ends up meeting her new neighbor Caleb who happened to find Willow. Caleb is currently on medical leave from the air force and is having a hard time coping with things. When Kerry asks him to sit with her dad while she is at work he agrees. Willow is starting to grow on Caleb. He suffered a loss during the ambush he was in and being around Willow is giving him comfort. I really loved Willow, she made me think about my fur babies. And when Kerry would take her to visit the veterans it really tugged at my heart strings, such great therapy. I really enjoyed this read and had so many different emotions while reading. Willow brings these two together to help them heal and find love. Can these two have a HEA?
