Publisher Description
Two Dalmatians. One town feud. And a romance nobody saw coming.
Welcome to Turtle Beach, where mistaken identities, softball rivalries, and dog-park drama lead to something even more unexpected: romance.
When by-the-book firefighter Sam Nash and chaos-loving cupcake vendor Violet March discover their identical dogs have swapped places, sparks—and frosting—fly. Violet and Sam eventually realize the mistake and switch the dogs back, but not everything is as simple as it seems. And a little puppy love might be just the thing they've been missing...
Recognized by Reader’s Digest as one of the “Best Romances of All Time,” A Spot of Trouble is a laugh-out-loud, clean romantic comedy packed with quirky charm, canine capers, and the kind of slow burn that fans of opposites-attract and grumpy-sunshine tropes crave.
Whether you’re here for the cupcakes, the canines, or the cozy beach-town vibes, A Spot of Trouble is a heartwarming, hysterical escape from USA bestselling author Teri Wilson, perfect for fans of Jenny Colgan and Beth O’Leary.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Wilson (Once upon a Royal Summer) delivers adorable dogs and fierce small-town rivalry in this breezy contemporary romance. Violet March leads a carefree life in seaside Turtle Beach, N.C., where she runs a quirky cupcake food truck and cares for her devoted Dalmatian, Sprinkles. Then attractive new fire marshal Sam Nash moves to town with Cinder, a Dalmatian of his own, in tow. The two dogs could be twins, if it weren't that Cinder is exceptionally well trained while Sprinkles is rambunctious and spoiled. They're perfect mirrors for their owners' personalities, and their antics consistently bring the pair together. But as the police chief's daughter, Violet is firmly on that side of the community's intense first responder rivalry. It's a rift love might not be able to ford, particularly since the last time a firefighter romanced her, he turned out to be using her to steal her father's playbook before the annual softball tournament. Still, it's one zany encounter after another when Violet, Sam, and their dogs are in the same place, and there's something incendiary between them that makes these two rivals candidates for a combustible relationship. Fans of Kate Angell and Julie James will appreciate this fun, lighthearted story.
Customer Reviews
Simply a good story
I felt as if the characters were friends of mine and I was a part of their fan club. Nice story.
A fun romcom with dogs
A Spot of Trouble by Teri Wilson is a cute, fun, romcom that will put a smile on your face. With not one, but two adorable dalmations, this book will not fail to give the reader a smile and a chuckle.
Violet Marsh runs a cupcake food truck and is the daughter of the local police chief, and sister to two of the police department officers. She has the only dalmatian in the seaside town of Turtle Beach, North Carolina, whose name is Sprinkles and is a bit unruly. When Sam Nash comes to town to take the job of Fire Marshall, nobody believes his dog Cinder, wasn’t stolen from Violet, as Cinder looks exactly like Violet’s dog Sprinkles.
The local softball tournament between the Police Department and the Fire Department is more of a blood feud than a friendly game, and when Sam and his dog Cinders get involved, Violet must decide which side her loyalties and Sprinkles loyalties preside.
This is such a sweet, albeit predictable story, with the dogs involving themselves in the romance between their masters. The book was fast-paced, and the writing good. The characters were fun, and I related to them both easily. The town of Turtle Beach is full of quirky characters, especially in the Senior Living Home, and they made for a well-rounded story. I recommend this book to lovers of sweet romcoms with adorable dogs. I received a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
