Book Description:

I’ll get you and your little dogs, too!

Veterinarian Poe Madigan enters The Fur Ball with her Jack Russell terriers (aka The Terrible Two) to compete for a substantial cash prize that will keep her mother from losing her home.  But when her fabulous partner sprains his ankle, Poe must trade him and his talented Bichon for a sexy, muscle-bound hunk who can’t dance and his Basset Hound, Lazy Daisy. If that’s not enough to make her despair, it seems The Terrible Two have angered someone and they’re receiving death threats!

Security specialist Jared Taylor promises one of Poe’s friends that he will go undercover as her dog dancing partner to protect her from danger.  He didn’t expect to find his staid, traditional life would be turned all topsy-turvy and he would find a soft spot for a neglected hound and fall for a Goth princess.  But when he reveals who he really is and why he is in Poe’s life destroy the foundation of trust they’ve built?  Could he lose the real prize – Poe?

LEASHED

Book #1

Description

Jack has some ‘splainin’ to do!

That’s right! Callie Lassiter’s normally well-behaved Great Dane Jack has run off and done the wild thing with the neighbor’s dog. It must be puppy love! It’s doubly embarrassing since she’s a professional dog trainer. Of course, the neighbor would have to be hot, hot nightclub owner bad boy Owen McKay, just the kind of man Callie is determined to avoid.

Owen’s comfortable with his playboy status and the hype in the media. But the ground moves beneath his feet when he gets an eyeful of the girl next door. The Dog Whisperer never looked this good! How can he convince this wholesome honey that his player days are behind him? Maybe Jill, his Great Dane can help him with this dilemma now that she’s pregnant and Callie’s dog is to blame.

Is this bad boy a bad bet?

My Review

Leashed is a fun summer read for by the pool.

I read this fairly quickly, having many laughs along the way.

It’s almost like there are two romances going on here.

Jack and Jill, the two Great Danes, do the doggie thing and now Jill is going to have puppies.

This is where romance two begins.

Callie is trying hard to stay away from her sexy neighbor, tabloid making club owner,Owan McKay. He is beyond sexy and Callie has a thing for the bad boy. But, after too many crash and burns, she’s promised herself, not this time.

Owan’s idea of romance is a different flavor each week and the tabloids are too happy to flash the pictures. He’s never felt he was missing anything until he became entangled with Cassie. Now he’s wondering if this sultry, cheeky tom-boy might be something special.

The first thing that made me smile was the dogs. I love a book where animals lend their own personality to the story, making it fun and genuine. Most of us have pets and they are a part of our family. Giving these Great Danes the names Jack and Jill is so cute and had me grinning.

As Jill’s day of delivery draws closer, her mate, Jack won’t leave her side, which means Callie and Owan are spending a lot of time together at his apartment, getting tangled up in more than leashes.

I may have had an idea where this would all end up, but I had a great time getting there.

Anybody looking for a fun, romantic comedy, and a love of dogs, will enjoy this book.

It’s a novella, so it reads fairly quick, and is a stand alone in the series, which I especially like.

I’ll be reading the rest of this series, for sure.

Groomed For Murder

Can a dog have a bad hair day?

Brooke Palmer owns Pawlish, an exclusive doggie spa and grooming business in upper Manhattan, but when a client’s champion poodle gets a bad poodle cut and has to undergo therapy to recover, the client sues. The lawyer they send is drop dead gorgeous, but Brooke won’t be wooed by a corporate shark in a sharp suit.

Corporate lawyer Drew Hudson has better things to do then take on this ridiculous lawsuit, but since he works for the client’s husband, he has no choice. After meeting the beautiful, sweet-tempered owner, he can’t keep his mind on the silly case. But when the client turns up dog gone dead, Brooke may be a conflict of interest when she’s charged with the murder. All Drew wants to do is prove that this sexy entrepreneur is not dangerous, except to his heart.

Can she take a chance on him?

Reviewing soon!
