Training Tommy
An irresistible guy. A mischievous dog. And a by-the book schoolteacher.
Sabrina Talbott loves her disciplined routines, her flower garden, and her home filled with a collection of teapots and antiques. She’s even trying to love the finicky cat she inherited from her grandmother. She’d also love Mr. Perfect. If only she could find him.
What she doesn’t love is her new neighbor’s unruly, fun-loving, free-spirited dog or his owner, Tommy Cameron. Skid digs up her roses, terrifies her cat, and wreaks havoc with her wardrobe. If only Tommy would train him!
Tommy finally takes the hint, but what Sabrina doesn’t realize is that while Tommy is training Skid, he’s also training her to lighten up and have some fun. At the same time, Sabrina is certain she’s the one who’s training Tommy to grow up and be more responsible.
Is it possible Sabrina can turn Tommy into Mr. Perfect? Or has he been perfect for her all along?

Sweet, nice, and enjoyable. The downside is that most of the conflicts were based on erroneous assumptions.
STORY BRIEF:
Sabrina is a high school English teacher who lives in a house she inherited from her grandmother. She thinks the man for her will be a suit-wearing professional similar to an accountant. Tommy moves in next door. He is always in jeans and a t-shirt. His dog Skid repeatedly digs up Sabrina’s rose bushes. Tommy replaces them each time. Sabrina doesn’t know if Tommy works or not since he is always at home. Tommy is fun to be around and has several guy friends over for football playing and parties. Tommy immediately falls for Sabrina, but she doesn’t think he’s her type. Tommy takes his dog to obedience classes in hopes of winning her over.
REVIEWER’S OPINION:
The author has written two stand-alone novels. I enjoyed “A Month from Miami” so much that I wanted to try another of her books. Training Tommy was her first book. It was sweet and nice. I was smiling through most of it. But I had two problems. One, it was short, so I wouldn’t recommend paying a lot for it. Two, most of the conflicts were based on Sabrina’s erroneous assumptions about Tommy. Erroneous assumptions are “the easy way out” for me. I prefer conflicts based on personality differences, motivations, outside events, or something meatier. But on balance, it’s a nice way to spend a little time with a cheerful story.
DATA:
Story length: 183 pages. Swearing language: none. Sexual language: none. Number of sex scenes: none. Setting: current day unknown town, probably in the U.S. Copyright: 2002. Genre: contemporary romance.
OTHER BOOKS:
I’ve read one other book by Barbara Meyers. My 4 star review of “A Month from Miami” was posted 3-25-09.
