Selena Milano is a successful single mom whose life just got
a little more complicated. Selena's twelve-year-old son,
Drew, is on the verge of becoming the man of the house, but
school and being of small stature is delaying that process.
Axel, their new sixty pound dog is the actual ruler of the
house, or should it be said, destroyer of the house. Add to
the mix, Jack Quinn, the dog behaviorist who intends on
taming the whole pack, and you've got one interesting plot.
While Selena's friends keep pairing up to get married, she
prefers to go it alone. She is doing a great job until
things get out of hand in the neighborhood. Axel is
destroying not only her house, but the neighborhood
businesses as well. She has got to find help. Her son, a
good kid, is starting to test her authority with some of his
own. He bonds with Jack, whose past wounds are similar to
his, leaving Selena out of the picture. Unsure of her new
predicament, she too turns to Jack, but only on her terms.
Jack is used to being the leader of the pack. He wants to
learn to live again in Selena's world, but she keeps pushing
him away. She only wants his help, not his love. It's the
old adage, "can we just be friends". That's not going to
happen for Jack.
Will their stubbornness and past wounds bring them together
or pull them apart?
Harlequin's SuperRomance, BLAME IT ON THE DOG, by Amy
Frazier is a delightful read. Single moms can immediately
bond with Selena and her determination to keep her family
unit as she knows it --- safe. Any mom with kids can relate
to a teenage boy coming of age. And any woman wants to know
the love of a determined man willing to go the distance to
be her hero. The characters in this book are obviously real
with a great plot. The twists and turns are fun to follow.
It is a wonderful, feel--good book. Take this one to the pool
and enjoy.
After Selena Milano adopts sixty pounds of rambunctious
puppy, her disorganized household starts to fly apart at
the seams. Though her twelve-year-old son, Drew, worships
the carpet Axel chews on, their neighbors threaten to get
them evicted if their four-legged demolition derby isn't
brought under control.
Enter dog-Svengali Jack Quinn, the animal behaviorist
charged with bringing discipline to their bohemian
existence. First he trains their dog, then he charms Drew.
Next the headstrong single mom gets an out-of-character
urge to invite the handsome Quinn into her home for dinner
and maybe a little more. Can this be the end of her
precious independence?
