"Grumpy Sunshine Romance with Dogs"

Fresh Fiction Review

Pardon My Frenchie

Romance Comedy

Ashanti wants to expand her doggie daycare business. She’s looking for more room and a kitchen where she can bake her dog treats. She can’t keep them on the shelf. Between her business and raising her twin teenage sisters, Ashanti doesn’t have much time for a personal life.
Which is a shame, because she just met a very handsome man. Sure, he’s a little grumpy but he’s the grandson of one of her favorite customers. Miss Frances owns Puddin’, Ashanti’s dog Duchess’s best friend. When Duchess and Puddin’ are caught cuddling on the webcam, they go viral. Suddenly, everyone wants to meet the dogs.
Ashanti and Thad use this opportunity to build buzz for their respective businesses. Thad and his best friend are renovating a building to open a bar for military service members. It just happens to be the same building that Ashanti was eyeing for expanding her business.
Ashanti and Thad didn’t have the best start, but they started spending more time together. As a result, they realize they can’t ignore their attraction to each other.
Pardon My Frenchie is an enemies to lovers and grumpy/sunshine story with banter, cute dogs, and family drama. The ending of this book was a little rushed, it needed another couple of chapters. I didn't want to put this book down. I would love to see another story with the secondary characters – especially Von.

SUMMARY

The New York Times bestselling author of Almost There delivers the start of a new rom-com series with an enemies-to-lovers romance, perfect for readers of Abby Jimenez and Jasmine Guillory.

Ashanti Wright is thrilled over the success of her doggie daycare, Barkingham Palace. But handling the business and taking care of her teen twin sisters is a lot. And now that the antics of her adorable French bulldog and poodle bestie are blowing up on social media, things are even more chaotic than usual. And they only get worse when the world’s worst dog hater shows up.

Thad Sims is not a dog person. He’s barely a person’s person. But after his grandmother is transferred to a senior living facility that doesn’t accept pets, the former army officer agrees to care for her annoying standard poodle, and his first move is taking Puddin’ out of daycare.

Now Ashanti’s beloved Duchess is bereft of her companion, social media is outraged, and Ashanti’s business is hanging in the balance. Her only option is to make nice with the surly, sexy Thad at all costs. But it’s gonna take a tiara-wearing Frenchie, a well-dressed poodle, and a whole lotta treats to teach these humans a few new tricks about falling in love.
