Matchmaking: Doggy-Style

Meet-Cute #4

by Cindi Madsen

When I come home to find a letter from the hot British dude who’s recently moved in next door, I perform an awkward happy dance for all my neighbors to see. Letters are so classy and romantic and I rip it open, so excited he’s finally noticed me and is asking out…my dog. Graham's rental doesn’t allow pets, and he's hoping to borrow my ill-behaved puppy for walks along the beach and games of catch in the park.

Is it weird to be jealous when your dog humps the leg of the guy you have a wicked crush on? Not asking for a friend.

It’s love at first bark for Graham and my puppy. But once I wiggle my own tail into tagging along, woman’s best friend is the best matchmaker I could ask for. But sometimes timing can be a real female dog.

I picked this up from my library shelf just from the title alone. I read this in a day. A quick read with your usual cutesy, rom-com, awkward, funny with a bonus of spice.

I believe this is self published and the only aggravation I can see for some people is there seemed to have some editing ball dropping. There were several places where the dog (who is a male) is referred to as 'she' and that threw me off to where I had to go back to see whose POV we were in and who we were referring to.

This is great for someone who likes animals and rom-com vibes with a topping of spice. As well as a quick palate cleanser. Let me tell you... I wish Graham was real, the mouth on that guy... YES, please!

DNF. That main female character was so obnoxious and over the top trying to be funny, (but failing,) that I started skimming, then just quit.

Also, the dog’s gender changed about every other sentence. A girl. A boy. A boy. A girl. Doesn’t anyone proofread for continuity? Very distracting.
