Note: While this is loosely tied to Ruggle's Rocky Mountain K9 Unit (Steve was a firefighter in Monroe) but other than realizing that some pretty bad things happened there this one pretty much stands on its own.

I absolutely love Steve & his kids and how they accept & understandd Camille.  She also brings her own unique views to this lovely family, adding a little softness that they all needed.  It's sweet, heartwarming, and absolutely hilarious because she's so awkwardly endearing when it comes to falling for Steve.  They made me giggle so many times :)  And his kids are just so darn adorable - smart, precocious, and brilliant.  

There is a bit of danger in the story but it doesn't take central stage.  Instead Ruggle makes sure to tie it in just enough to remind you that there is a bad guy out there but not enough to take away from all of the important emotional moments and the bonding between Camille & the Springfields.
