EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY is the third book in Jenn McKinlay's Bluff Point contemporary romance series. Although it's part of a series, EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY works as a standalone book. This may be my favorite book in the Bluff Point series so far. This book will make you laugh, cry, and is full of steamy encounters between this hero and heroine. Zachary Caine is a carefree single hottie, friend to everyone, and local business owner. Jessie Connelly is a single mom doing the best she can, but she's craving adult conversation and companionship. A cat named Chaos brings these two people together when he gets stuck on Zach's roof. Although each book in this series is entertaining, EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY may be my favorite story so far.

Jessie's ex-husband was a womanizing jerk when he was around, and his character hasn't improved since he took off for parts unknown. Although her little girls are everything to her, Jessie does have occasional pangs of loneliness and some feelings of isolation. The achingly attractive Zach and his crew of close friends brighten up Jessie's world. Before reading this book, I had the same assumptions about Zach that Jessie did -- that he was a wild man-child with a different woman every night. Thankfully, Jenn McKinlay wrote an infinitely more complex and likable character than that. Zach isn't looking for an instant family, and Jessie isn't quick to tie herself to any man gain, but their chemistry is undeniable. Jessie's daughters and Chaos the cat and Zach's doggy roommate Rufus play cupid and try to get Jessie and Zach together. Much to her surprise, Jessie finds Zach to be exactly the man she needs for support, to listen to her, to make her laugh, and to heat up her nights. The relationship Zach develops with Jessie's daughters is delightful and adds a wealth of emotional depth to this story.

EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY is an enchanting story of a pack formed of people and pets, with a sizzling romance thrown in. This story has drama with enough romance and humor to even things out. The characters and friendships in EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY are a big part of what makes this story so much fun to read. I look forward to reading Jenn McKinlay's next book.
