Chasing Tail

If your looking for a steamy, fun, can’t put it down book Chasing Tail is the one for you. It has passion, pets and a fun heart warming set of Dog Mothers. Great read and don’t forget the tissues.

If your looking to read a romance story with humor, a little suspense, some spice, matchmaking grandmothers, and a couple furry creatures, then look no further. This is one of those books that you will thinking about for days after you finish reading it, and catch yourself chuckling about different scenes.

I was hooked from the beginning when Sadie first runs into Connor. You could feel the chemistry between them, that is until she discovered who he was. Turns out she definitely remembers him from high school when he beat her out for class president. Only problem is, he doesn’t remember Sadie at all.

The next thing you know, they are running against each other, and another candidate, for mayor of Bitter Bark. As they progress through their campaign’s, they learn a lot about each other and how they’ve both changed over the years.

There are so many special relationships in this book – not only Connor and Sadie, but also between Frank (the dog) and Demi (the cat), and of course the whole Kilcannon, Mahoney, and Santorini families.

I LOVED Connor and Sadie’s amazing story in Chasing Tail by Roxanne St. Claire, book three in her Dogmother series. Firefighter Connor Mahoney is the jokester, flirt, womanizer, who is seldom taken seriously. So when he decides to run for mayor of Bitter Bark, it’s the same old thing, no one believes him. Connor figures he has the ability to win the race by putting Frank, an abandoned canine who saved a drowning child, on the ticket with him. As usual, the Dogmothers have to play matchmaker, by sending Sadie Hartman to Connor with the idea that she would be the perfect campaign manager for him. After all she just returned to Bitter Bark from working in Washington, DC. Sadie doesn’t want that job, no matter how hot and sexy Connor is, or how often they might end up being together. Sadie discovered that another mayoral candidate is in the race, a man who was instrumental in wrecking her family. Uncertain the “dog and firefighter” ticket can win over the other candidate, Sadie launches her own campaign to become the mayor. When an archaic law, written by the founder of Bitter Bark, is discovered, Sadie and Connor join forces, in an unexpected manner in order to stay in the race and beat the third candidate. Sadie and Connor soon discover that running against each other is almost as good as running together as a team.

I found Connor to be more authentic that his colleagues and family gave him credit. Connor adopting an abandoned dog, who saved the day, warmed my heart. Sadie was no longer the resentful school girl who thought Connor was all talk and no action. The attraction and magnetism between these two pushed them together, giving them a chance to realize their friendship wasn’t fake. The friendship between Connor’s dog, Frank, and Sadie’s cat, Demi, was so sweet; setting the example that Connor and Sadie also belonged together.

Ms. St. Claire wrote a fun, flirty and amazing story that is not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with emotions, off the charts sexual chemistry, humor, and charming characters giving Connor and Sadie a chance at love, happiness, and a future neither expected. I highly recommend Chasing Tail to other readers and look forward to the next book in this wonderful series.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Loved it! Another great match by the Dogmothers. Connor and Sadie’s road to their HEA was not a smooth one. In high school they competed against each other for class president and now, as adults they are in competition again. This time for Mayor, really it is Frank on the ballot not Connor, but in order to run, they have to fake being engaged. This is when the fun begins. The more time they spend together, the deeper in love they fall. Not only do they fall in love, a sweet love develops between Connor’s adorable dog Frank, who I fell in love with, and Sadie’s cat Demi. This book will leave you feeling good. I highly recommend it and all the books in the Dogmothers and Dogfathers Series. I cannot wait to read the next book and see who the Dogmothers will match up.

I received an ARC copy and this is my voluntary review.

Stray dogs, stray cats, a woman running from a cheating boyfriend and a hot firefighter who jokes his way through life come together in Chasing Tail for a “can’t put down” story. When I first met Connor, I wasn’t too sure how much I was going to like him as a hero, but by the second chapter, I’d fallen in love. Connor and Sadie had known each other in high school, but Connor didn’t really remember too much about her at first. As the two of them get to know each other and realize they are going to have to join forces if they want to save Bitter Bark from a no-good, cheating candidate for major, a rivalry soon turns into something much more than either of them had anticipated. While this is a Dogmother story, I think that perhaps the founder of Bitter Bark needs to take credit for this romance as the Great DogGrandFather since it’s his old-fashioned charter that ultimately draws Sadie and Connor together. To add to the enjoyment of the story, Frank, the stray dog, and Demi, the stray cat, strike up their very own special relationship , which also helps Connor and Sadie draw closer together. There’s even an element of suspense thrown in with Sadie’s old boyfriend and boss – an element that St. Claire always writes so well. A truly great story and a fun read! Connor and Sadie quickly become two more of the Dogmother/Dogfather family members you can fall in love with.

What is not to love about the newest Roxanne St Claire book, Chasing Tail? I’ll tell you, not much at all! Connor Mahoney, local firefighter….HOT firefighter!! Connor may be a joster but, in reality he only wants what is best for his family and his hometown, Bitter Bark. Sadie is a former Deputy Chief of Staff for a congresswoman from Texas. The Dogmothers are working diligently to bring these two together. You get to visit with the Kilcannons, Mahoneys, and Santorini’s multiple times to see how their lives are going. Love this family and how they are always working together for the betterment of their beloved Bittler Bark and families. I am completely enamored with the writing of Roxanne St Claire. Her characters are strong in character and their love of family and friends. There are so many wonderful parts to this story that I want to share with you but I would give so much away in how Connor and Sadie’s story play out. If you have read any one of the Dogfather or Dogmother stories before you will love Connor and Sadie. If you have not, this is a great one to start with!! I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Completely and wholeheartedly recommend any Roxanne St. Claire book. 5 stars*****

Another incredible tale about love, matchmaking, dogs and big families! I had the honor of reading an ARC of Chasing Tail by Roxanne St. Claire, her third book in Th Dogmothers series for an honest review. All I can say is that I am not sure how she does it, but I truly loved every page and could not put it down. Each book gets better and better, and Chasing Tail is filled with so much emotion, that you better have Kleenex near by. Chasing Tail is filled with all those things that we have come to love and expect in a Roxanne St. Claire tale. It is filled with poignant and bittersweet moments, and many surprise plot twists, and once again proves that Rocki is a master storyteller. My favorite part of The Dogfather and The Dogmothers series is the sage advice that Roxanne always intersperses throughout the story from Gramma Finnie, Daniel and Annie Killcannon, and now Captain Joe Mahoney, the late patriarch of the Mahoney family. I loved Joe’s famous quotes and how they have shaped the lives of his sons. Reading Chasing Tail felt like going home, as does all the books in the series. I love catching up with all the Killcannons, Santorinis and Mahoneys. It feels like a family reunion in every book. Chasing Tail is the story of Connor Mahoney, super “hot” firefighter and EMT of the Bitter Bark Fire Department, and second oldest Mahoney child and Mercedes “Sadie” Hartman, former assistant to a Texas Congresswoman. Sadie has recently returned to Bitter Bark, with her cat Demi, from Washington, DC where she has worked since graduating from college. Sadie ran away after a bad break up with her boyfriend, Nathan Lawrence. The Dogmothers think that Sadie is the perfect match for Connor and suggest that she take on the role of campaign manager, since Connor, actually his dog Frank, is running for mayor. Unfortunately, Sadie finds out who the other candidate running for mayor is Mitch Easterbrook. Sadie, and most of Bitter Bark has had a negative encounter with Mitch and she cannot support him for mayor. So the Dogmothers’ plan for Connor backfires, or does it. In order to run for mayor, Sadie and Connor must pretend to be “betrothed” to each other, because of some law regarding the marital status of candidates running for mayor. Who doesn’t treasure a “fake fiance” romance, and I love how Pru inadvertently put the idea in Connor’s head. While pretending to be “fake fiances” Connor and Sadie’s relationship changes and they start to have feelings for each other, but will the sudden appearance of Sadie’s ex-boyfriend and former boss, change things for Connor and Sadie. I love the stories behind the naming of Connor’s dog, Frank and Sadie’s cat, Demi and the nicknames that Connor and Sadie have for each other, and how the meaning of those nicknames changes. Lots of laughs were shared between Connor and Sadie and it truly made their story and their romance memorable. My favorite part of their story was when Sadie recalls her chance encounter with Joe Mahoney, have your Kleenex ready. Roxanne has once again delivered a lovely tale that includes “fake fiances”, love, laughter, dogs, cats, big families, Dogmother grannies, and a happily ever after. I truly loved every page. Cannot wait for John Santorini’s story and discover who the Dogmothers’ will find for him.
