On the verge of losing her job, local television star Willow Winks desperately seeks the one thing she believes can save her fledgling career - a golden retriever sidekick.

Concerned for their safety, the television studio hires Caleb McCreery, a brave, strong, and young bodyguard to protect the famous duo. Caleb is ready to do whatever it takes to keep his charges safe, even if that means risking his own life.

Gotta love dogs

Watching Willow is another wonderful story in the Gold Coast Retrievers series by Ann Omasta. The story features the unfolding saga of TV celebrity Willow Winks whose career pressures are heightening due to low ratings and the stars aging. Who comes onto the scene Buddy a loveable golden retriever. Buddy, considered not smart enough to be a service dog quickly falls in love with his new master Willow and vice versa. Unfortunately things go from bad to worse when the studio receives a letter threatening Willow and Buddy. The studio hires former Government agent Caleb to serve as Willow's and Buddy’s bodyguard. Caleb eventually takes the job as the threats continue and grow along with Caleb's feelings for Willow. The author does a great job of keeping who is threatening the dinamic duo a secret until the end as will I. I highly recommend this audio book and I look forward to listening and reading more of her stories.

Willow, Caleb, and Buddy

Watching Willow by Ann Omasta is such a great story. I love the Gold Coast Retrievers series. This book features Willow who is approximately ten years older than Caleb, and Buddy the matchmaking dog. I love the chemistry the author wrote, and the narration by Sarah L. Colton was perfect. She brought the characters to life. I was able to hear exactly who was speaking. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I will definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator.

Romance

This is the first book by Ann Omasta that I have read. Romance is not usually my choice in reading but I did enjoy this clean fun book. I thought Sarah L Colton does a wonderful job of narrating this story. I love how Willow changes (softens) after finding the two men in her life. A lovely dog and a bodyguard. I was gifted this book with the understanding that I would leave an honest review.

Looks to be a very entertaing series

Watching Willow Gold Coast Retrievers, Book 7, my eighteenth read from author Ann Omasta and the seventh book in Gold Coast Retrievers series. Another entertaining and well-written read from her with cameo appearances of characters from Guarding Grace Gold Coast Retrievers, Book 3. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. I was impressed and enjoyed the vocal variety & inflections of narrator Sarah L. Colton. The books are so good my family has taken to listening to it over watching television. I look forward to reading more in this series. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

This book is a keeper!

I received the audible version from the author. I hadn't read or heard anything from her. I immensely enjoyed this book. I felt I watched Willow grow as a person. I truly enjoyed.

A sweet romance

Willow is a local Tv star who has her own show. Due to low ratings , she was given a half hour dating show. She wanted to do something different to add appeal to the show. She decided to get a dog, Buddy A golden retriever. Buddy becomes the star of the matchmaking show. Willow and Buddy receive death threats after a few weeks. The producer hires Caleb, a former secret service agent, to be her bodyguard on and off the set. Feelings grow between them, but Caleb tries to keep it professional! This is a cute story of love, suspense. Having Buddy, allows Willow to develop emotionally, believing in herself and gaining confidence to open up to people.Sarah L. Colton is a terrific narrator and a pleasure to listen to.. She brings the characters to life, gives each character their own voice. I was gifted this audiobook in exchage for an honest review.

Light & Fun

Ms. Colton does a good job reading the story in keeping with the authors intent. It’s fun, light, and cheerful.
While the story steps a few times into more fancy than truth, and is fairly predictable, I fully forgive it.
Those flaws are more than made up for with the unique view of our heroine and her obvious good heart. Rooting against her would be like kicking her puppy.. unforgivably heartless. It’s fun to watch a good woman on shaky ground with low esteem find her footing and her voice while maintaining her charm. I enjoyed Watching Willow and will look for more by Ann Omasta & Sarah Colton.
