ABOUT A DOG is book 1 in Jenn McKinlay's Bluff
Point
contemporary romance series. Jenn McKinlay takes the
things I love most about her cozy mysteries and puts
those same elements in ABOUT A DOG. This is a book with
humor and strong friendships, in addition to the
sparkling romance. While on a break from her current
boyfriend, accountant Mackenzie "Mac" Harris goes back to
her hometown to help with her BFF Emma's wedding. Waiting
for her among friends both old and new is sexy
veterinarian, and Emma's little brother, Gavin. Gavin is
a to-die-for hero with the perfect mix of sweet and hot,
and his attempts to woo Mac and build a future out of
their past is both amusing and incredibly romantic.
Gavin is a catch and shouldn't need any help winning the
object of his affection, but a stray puppy helps cement
his relationship with Mac. I enjoy stories in which a
hero pursues the heroine and, in ABOUT A DOG, Gavin is
charismatic without being obnoxious and I was rooting for
him throughout the book. Mac taking on responsibility for
the adorable puppy Tulip acts as a catalyst for her, and
the direction she decides to take with her life. Having
this story told from alternating perspectives gives the
reader a better idea of why Mac shows such hesitance in
accepting Gavin's romantic overtures. One thing I really
like about this book is the way Mac's girlfriends have
her back and support her even when they may disagree with
her choices.
ABOUT A DOG has a lethal combination of doggie cuteness
and genuine romance to tempt readers. This is a great
book for romance fans who enjoy small towns, second-
chance romances, and nice-guy heroes who take your breath
away. Mac's two aunts are a hoot and her exasperation
with their determination to live life on their own terms
had me chuckling. The snappy dialogue and great
characters make this romance shine. I look forward to
Jenn McKinlay's next book in this charming Bluff
Point
series.
