Man's Best Friend
A Woman's Best Friend
He loved it when she touched him, and when he felt her hands play over his silky body, his tounge lolled and he knew Jenny Carruthers would have him on his back in no time. But the stray sensed his dark-haired mistress's heart was wrapped up in old loves gone astray - and it was up to him, her furry friend, to weave the warp and woof of fate into the fabric of paradise.
Man's Best Friend
Brad Ferris was perfect. As soon as the handsome photographer opened his door, Fido scented his suitability in a flash. (And his dog, Lady, was a real looker, too!) But Jenny wasn't an easy human to train, and swatting her with newspapers wasn't an option. So Fido would have to rely on good old-fashioned dog sense to lead the two together. For Fido knew that only in Brad's arms would Jenny unleash feelings which had been caged for far too long!

Very boilerplate romance novel. I know most of them are, but there are some absolute gems from time to time, so I still persist with reading them.
All of the conflict was extremely manufactured and very low-stakes. Low-stakes isn't necessarily bad, but the characters were sort of treating them like the end of the world (especially the third-act main conflict, it was absolute clownery how the FMC decided the relationship couldn't work after something extremely minor that turned out to be a misunderstanding anyway because they didn't even communicate. A classic mass market paperback romance chain of events, but it's lazy and it irritates me every time.) Especially the ending - Jenny acted like a completely immature brat, and yet Brad was all too willing to forgive her, and even .
Two stars because it didn't get truly awful until the last quarter, and the dog aspect was cute.
I know you might be thinking, Nemo, what did you expect with that cover and sort of book? But like I say, there ARE some good gems from time to time, and as an avid romance reader, I know some romance books can be absolute masterpieces that outstrip most "literary" fiction. You just have to wade through lots of... this.
Craving a romance book where dogs bring the main characters together, and also get some cute dog POV paragraphs? Passions of a Papillon is absolutely stellar. It is a male/male romance though, unlike this one.
