It has been a long time since I’ve read a book written by Julia London, so it’s actually my first time reading a Contemporary novel from her. I was intrigued about IT STARTED WITH A DOG, the second book in the Lucky Dogseries, because of the dog aspect of it, but I found that this book also had a light Christmas vibe to it as well.
IT STARTED WITH A DOG very much felt like a romantic comedy movie to me with the accidental phone swap and the banter. It’s a light read for me, so I enjoyed it, but didn’t feel like the characters stayed with me for long. Because this is my first book from London in a while, I am still very curious about the next book in the series. I know that I’ll be eagerly anticipating the book when it comes out!
Thanks to an accidental phone swap, two adorable rescue pups, and a coffeehouse clash, a holiday flirtation goes to the dogs and hilarity ensues, from New York Times bestselling author Julia London.
All Harper Thompson wants for Christmas is the huge promotion she's worked so hard for—which she should get, as long as her launch of the hip new coffeehouse, Deja Brew, goes according to plan. Jonah Rogers is trying to save his family's coffee shop, Lucky Star, from going out of business, which will be tough with the brand-new Deja Brew opening across the street.
When Jonah and Harper meet for the first time after accidentally swapping phones, their chemistry is as electric as a strand of Christmas lights. He's a tall, handsome, compassionate hunk of engineer, and she's an entrepreneur whose zest for life is very sexy. They love all the same things, like scary movies, greasy food—and most of all, dogs. It's a match made in heaven...until Jonah finds out that Harper's the one about to put him out of business.
Only one coffee shop likely can survive, and a competition of one-upmanship ensues in a battle of the brews. The paws really come out when the local rescue shelter has a fundraiser where local businesses foster dogs, and patrons vote with their dollars for their favorite pup. Harper takes in an adorable old bulldog on behalf of Deja Brew, while Jonah fosters a perky three-legged dachshund for Lucky Star. As the excitement builds for who will be crowned King Mutt and king of the coffee hill, Harper and Jonah must decide if their connection was all steam or if they are the perfect blend.
