The Dating Game

She swore off men for dogs—but her girlfriends won't let her give up so easily.

When puppy nanny Lyssa Larkin swears off men and devotes herself to dogs, her friends think she's given up on love. But matchmaking chef Suzie Hart isn't ready to let the former Harbor Falls Homecoming Queen throw in the towel just yet.

Suzie sets up a series of speed-dating lunches at Sweet Hart Inn, hoping to spark romance. Lyssa, however, has more fun sampling double meals than meeting single men—and she sends her dates packing faster than she can clear the dessert plates.

Just when Suzie fears she's bitten off more than she can chew, an unexpected suitor shows up—someone not even on her radar—who is determined to win Lyssa's heart. With Suzie's subtle magic working behind the scenes, Lyssa may discover that love isn't a game at all…but the sweetest surprise of all.

The Dating Game is a heartwarming, laugh-out-loud, small-town romance served with a side of matchmaking mayhem, puppy cuddles, and plenty of southern sass. If you like a little humor with your romance, a bit of culinary expertise mashed up with snappy dialogue, imperfect characters, and a happily-ever-after ending, then perhaps this book is for you.
