Publisher Description
An accidental dog swap unleashes an unexpected love match in this new romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Julia London.
Carly Kennedy's life is in a spiral. She is drowning in work, her divorced parents are going through their midlife crises, and somehow Carly's sister convinces her to foster Baxter--a basset hound rescue with a bad case of the blues. When Carly comes home late from work one day to discover that the dog walker has accidentally switched out Baxter for another perkier, friendlier basset hound, she has reached the end of her leash.
When Max Sheffington finds a depressed male basset hound in place of his cheerful Hazel, he is bewildered. But when cute, fiery Carly arrives on his doorstep, he is intrigued. He was expecting the dog walker, not a pretty woman with firm ideas about dog discipline. And Carly was not expecting a handsome, bespectacled man to be feeding her dog mac and cheese. Baxter is besotted with Hazel, and Carly realizes she may have found the key to her puppy’s happiness. For his sake, she starts to spend more time with Hazel and Max, until she begins to understand the appeal of falling for your polar opposite.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A canine mix-up leads to unexpected love in this bright, bubbly rom-com from bestseller London (A Royal Kiss & Tell). Freelance publicist Carly Kennedy's path would likely never have crossed with neuroscientist Max Sheffington were it not for their drug-dealing dog walker getting arrested and their two near-identical basset hounds being returned to the wrong owners. A frazzled Carly spends two days untangling the mystery of the switched hounds, only to finally arrive at Max's door and discover that her previously well-behaved Baxter is now a bandana-wearing couch potato. Adding insult to injury, Max has the gall to ask her to continue to look after his basset, Hazel, over the weekend while he attends an out-of-town dog show with his autistic brother. Swayed by his desperate situation, Carly reluctantly agrees with disastrous results. There's heady chemistry between the optimistic Carly and the slightly nerdy Max as they stumble into coparenting the pooches, with the fabulous, four-legged supporting characters providing both laugh-out-loud hilarity and some touching moments. Readers will be in doggie heaven.

Light hearted read!
Cute storyline and great characters. Love the dogs! Started off a little bit odd, but after a few pages made sense. Trying to launch a new career after being fired, Carly comes home to find a imposter dog on her couch chewing up a very expensive pillow! Her dog is missing! Baxter is a depress dog and this dog is definitely not her dog....plus it’s a girl. She tries to get a hold of the dog walker and no response. Things go downhill for Carly, crazy clients, crazy family and the list goes on. In the meanwhile Max, a professor who happens to be a brain scientist, wakes up to a similar situation. Trying to figure out what happen, how he winds up with this sad dog. He has a lot on his mind, trying to get his tenure at the university he works at, Trying to give his widowed dad a break from caring for his autistic brother. I don’t want to giveaway to much, but a very enjoyable, light hearted read.
