“We think he belongs to you.”
After weeks of searching, Charlie finally tracked down the owners of the dog he and his partner Jeremiah called Rollins. Before saying goodbye to the animal that brought them together as a couple, they asked to hear the story of Rollins’ earlier days as a dog named Yukon Sam.
“When no one else believed we could make it, she gave us Sam to show her trust in our relationship.”
Matt and Ryan grew up with families who, while not overtly homophobic, expressed attitudes of benign neglect. When they first encountered each other as young men hanging out in a small-town bar with small groups of friends…the recognition was instant. Not only were they gay, they were both outsiders as well.
A romance blossomed, and an ugly family quarrel put Ryan on the street. With the help of Matt’s supportive sister, Pam, the pair found a small house, and she offered them an energetic white dog, soon named Yukon Sam, as a sign of her belief in their love.
Yukon Sam is a 50,000 word first time gay novel set in the world of Pet Shop Charlie and The Flawless Mr. Faraday. However, it can easily be read as a standalone and has no cliffhangers. There are steamy scenes and a happily ever after ending.

If this is the end of the Eagle's Glen series, Grant Holland can take a deep bow. However, I will tell you that even though this, and the others, are labeled as stand-alones, don't you dare. This one is directly related to the first in the series ("Pet Shop Charlie"), and even the second one ("The Flawless Mr. Farady') serves as an important bridge in completing this wonderful series.Here we have Ryan (left on the cover) and Matt, who passed each other like ships in the night one time in high school where Ryan was considered a nerd and two-years-older Matt was a football jock. They serendipitously meet in the town's straight hook-up bar a few years later and boom! Well, more like a "poof" (not a denigrating term here)--because they have an instant attraction that takes a while to be sexually fulfilled.
The narrative is a sandwich: The bottom slice of bread is the first chapter when Charlie and Jeremiah from the first book showing up at Matt's mother's home to return their beloved dog Rollins, whose name was Yukon Sam before he disappeared from Ryan and Matt's home a year before. The top slice of bread takes place on the same day and brings everything together in a sweet Epilogue that will have the tears of joy rising.
The meat-of-the-matter is Ryan and Matt's love story. Once again author Grant Holland brings a perfect Midwestern pitch to their relationship--quiet, determined, resolve while exploring their potential and dealing with ups and downs along the way. Holland throws in a number of twists that are totally off the wall, but by now you are so in love with these young men that you can't help agreeing that it's all very logical.
And loving.

Yukon Sam An Eagle Glen Novel edition by Grant C Holland Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This is a beautiful story about the love between two young men from the time they first meet in high-school through when they re-connect a few years later and begin a relationship. Although the family of one of them (Ryan) is biased and hateful toward gays, the family of the other (Matt) is warm and welcoming. Through the story (the span of about a year) they learn about love and face the challenges that come with becoming adults, moving out on their own, and finding their way as a couple in the world. The book explores the emotions of love and loss poignantly. Although there is some drama about threats from Ryan's brother, there is never any violence, and there is no graphic sex.

Jeremiah and Charlie, from Grant C Holland's previous book Pet Shop Charlie (which I haven't read), have been searching for a lost dog's owners and meet Matt and Ryan. Here begins a retelling of how Matt and Ryan struggled to be together and overcome some very personal and prominent issues faced by these two small town men. Yukon Sam (or Rollins as Jeremiah and Charlie have been calling him) is Matt and Ryan's beautiful dog given to them by a family member as a sign of her love and acceptance of their relationship and has become a symbol of their strong and deep love.
This short story is a really nice one and certainly well written. A stand alone book but one that will spark your interest in Grant C Howard's other works.

This is sort of a prequel to Pet Shop Charlie since it explains where their dog Rollins came from. Matt was a star football player in high school in Eagle Glen. He knew he was gay but he was out yet. At school, Ryan runs into him and sparks fly but nothing happens. It is now a few years later and Matt is out with some old football friends at a bar. He sees Ryan across the room and the sparks are still there. The two quietly get together in the bar to get to know each other. Neither man is officially out of the closet but Ryan has done some dating.
Matt and Ryan taking their dating slowly but they are very attracted to each other and are the perfect match. Then Ryan's family find out he is gay and disown him. His brother is so hostile they are afraid that he might attack Ryan. To keep Ryan safe, he moves out of town to live with Matt's sister. While there he falls in love with her dog Sam. When a chance to move into a house outside of Eagle Glen comes up, Ryan returns with Sam to be reunited with Matt. When a family emergency comes up, they leave Sam behind for the day. He escapes and they are not able to find him.
This is a sweet love story that has a cute dog. There are some family issues with Ryan coming out of the closet but mostly this is a feel good story. I voluntarily received a copy of this book and this is my honest review.
This was a nice story about a young couple who meet, fall in love, and start their lives together. It was low on drama, and high on sweetness. I personally thought that the time frame of everything felt too compressed. For example, Matt and Ryan rent a house that they absolutely love, but within weeks of them moving in, they are already considering moving out and on with their lives. I don't think that we necessarily needed to see more into their lives, but I would have expected that more time should have passed during the course of the story to help explain some of the reactions that both characters have to their circumstances.
I did find it odd that Ryan is first introduced as being the one who is very comfortable with his sexuality, and who has been openly gay to his friends for years, but his older brother, as well as his parents, have no clue. Neither Ryan nor Matt made much of an effort to hide the fact that they were dating, but despite complaining about living in a small town where everyone knew everyone else's business, somehow no one ever figured out that they were, in fact, dating; and no one told either of their parents.
Overall, I thought that this story was a good read about normal life, but I ended up with questions that I don't think were adequately satisfied.
