Synopsis

The most uplifting rom-com you’ll read this year – a fresh take on the friends-to-lovers trope, brimming with heart, joy and puppies!

Sera loves owning a pet shelter – even if it’s often tricky to make ends meet, and her mother thinks she's wasting her life. Thankfully, she can always rely on her steadfast best friend, Toby, who just happens to be the local vet.

And then famous actor Ethan James enters the scene. After Sera 'saves' Ethan from a friendly German Shepherd, he confesses to a terrible fear of dogs. A canine co-star is all that stands between Ethan and the role of a lifetime – and he wants Sera to help him overcome his fear. As they bumble through a series of training sessions together, sparks fly and Sera's surprised to find herself falling for Ethan. But not half as surprised as she is when Toby starts acting like a jealous boyfriend.

Now Sera's juggling six dogs, a litter of kittens, a horse, a sheep, and two men intent on outdoing each other. But she'll have to figure out what her heart truly wants ... before her life goes completely to the dogs.

This was such a super cute rom-com!! Sera Madden is a local heroine, running an animal shelter. Her best friend is Toby McManus, the local vet. For two years, their close relationship has been strictly platonic. Until Ethan James, movie star, lands on their doorstep. He's preparing for a new role, an......more

Goodreads review by Jacq on February 13, 2025

2.5⭐ I'm not a fan of love triangles, but after reading the second book in this series, I felt compelled to go back and satisfy my curiosity. Amy's writing is strong, but it wasn’t enough to make me enjoy a romance where the FMC only chooses her partner by making the MMC's do shitty, out of character......more

Goodreads review by Esme on August 16, 2024

I picked this up at the airport because I finished my book and needed something. I wasn't expecting much. Normally I steer clear of any books with dogs in them, because they usually end up breaking my heart (Here's looking at you Marley & Me and A Dog's Journey). This book wasn't going to be winning......more
