"Farrah Rochon delivers the feel-good read of the summer." --Entertainment Weekly
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.
An Entertainment Weekly Best Book of the Summer
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
For this doggone delightful rom-com, Rochon (The Boyfriend Project) pairs a canine-averse ex-Marine with a doggie day-care owner. Ashanti Wright hopes to expand both her dog boarding business, Barkingham Palace, and her newest venture, Duchess Delights, a dog treat business, into a nearby property. She faces a setback when Thad Sims, her favorite customer's grandson, unexpectedly buys the property with plans to convert the building into a gathering place for his fellow veterans and active servicemembers. After his grandmother moves to an assisted living facility following an injury, Thad reluctantly assumes responsibility for her dog, Puddin, putting him and Ashanti into frequent proximity as the conflict between them deepens. When Puddin and Ashanti's dog, Duchess, share a treat in a Lady and the Tramp–style moment on Barkingham Palace's webcam livestream, the pooches go viral, so much so that Ashanti and Thad are invited to bring the pups onto a daytime talk show in New York City. Despite the lingering real estate tension and Thad's initial aversion to all things canine, sparks soon fly. The pair's witty banter and inevitable enemies-to-lovers arc captivate, while Puddin and Duchess's love story adds humor. Readers will be thoroughly charmed.
