Who doesn’t love a good romance featuring a loveable dog? Maybe cat people? Well, cat people, you’re in luck! In this adorable tale, there’s a also cute kitten, too.
I enjoyed this story about a single mother, two adorable girls, an escape artist kitty and a man-child with a big heart.
I am not much for romance novels, but I really enjoyed this one. My next one will be About A Dog.
Living life as a bachelor has its ups and downs. Never answering for your actions is a blessing to Zachary Caine. As an owner of the local brewery, Zachary has his fair share of women strolling in and out of his door. None able to snag more that a fleeting moment of Zachary’s time. Until a little Chaos came strolling into Zachary’s life.
Sometimes the life we have planned for ourselves doesn’t always work out the way we planned. As a newly divorced mother, Jessie Connelly definitely knows the phrase ‘you reap what you sow’. No one deserves to know the type of chaos that reigned supreme in her former marriage. Leaving a bitter taste in Jessie’s mouth for any man. The highlight of her life are the two girls that call Jessie MOM. Something that quickly became the focus towards gaining independence and a new lease on life. Little did Jessie know that her girls would spark the catalyst that would change her life in more ways than one.
Snow brings forth a blanket that washes away mounds of dirt. A beauty to behold when looking at it through the panes of glass. For Zachary, a plea from two little girls would bring him out in the cold to rescue their kitten who was full of mayhem. While the siblings tugged at his heart, it was the mother that captured his attention. Zachary Caine may not be relationship material, but his attraction to Jessie is quickly test his rule of not letting anyone into his heart.
The bachelor and the divorcee, what a pair these two make!! Every Dog Has His Day is the latest saga in The Bluff Point series by Jenn McKinlay. A sweet romance that throws together two tortured souls. One that lives with the mistakes of the past, and the other a loner that doesn’t realize what is missing from his life. The chaos that throws Jessie and Zachary together is humorous and touching all at the same time.
The couple fights their attraction with everything that exists. Jessie is determined to keep her girls safe, and can’t risk falling in love. Zachary has never known anyone to turn his head or flip his heart the way Jessie can. As Zachary picks up the slack from this family’s dead beat dad, his heart becomes more entwined in the family dynamic. A roller coaster of emotion that readers will not be able to resist. Another amazing addition to the series that I have come to LOVE!!
Divorced mom Jessie Connolly has blinders on when it comes to handsome neighbors, but when her two daughters ask Brewery owner and next door neighbor Zach to help get their kitten off his roof her eyes are opened to what a great guy he is. This was one of those novels where the kids are adorable and funny and their interaction with the hero is heartwarming.
Zach and Jessie had great chemistry but his interaction with her children made me fall in love with him too. Zach is totally laid back, charming and has that childish joie de vivre. BUT he was also grown up enough to see what was in front of his face and know that he wanted it forever. Jessie had been through a bad divorce and her ex was a deadbeat dad which made her a little gunshy in the romance department. Zach kept coming through for she and her daughters and that love of life that may have looked childish to other women actually made him perfect in her eyes. The comparison to her ex was so disparate that she couldn’t help wanting him around permanently.
Every Dog Has His Day is one of those books you want to curl up on the couch with when the weather outside is cold and nasty. It warms you from within and reminds you that a little fun in a romance is a wonderful thing. I have not read the other books in this series but really enjoyed Jenn McKinlay’s style of writing and will definitely be checking those out.
Chaos leads to happiness
The third book in the Bluff Point series is about Jessie and Zach. Jessie was the girl that stole Mac’s fiancé at the altar in book one. It is now eight years later and she is the single mom of two adorable girls. Her husband was awful, cheating, drinking, and finally abandoning his family. Zach is her neighbor who the girls rope into helping them rescue their cat. The girls, Zach and Jessie are likable characters and the story is sweet. The only minor quibble I had was that the villain of the story turned over a new leaf on a dime and was forgiven pretty quickly. This was my favorite of the series thus far and I am looking forward to the next installment.
I lovely romance that will definitely tug at your heart strings. We are introduced to Zachary who owns a brewery and doesn’t have the word commitment in his vocabulary. Then there is Jessie, a mother of two, who is deeply committed to being the best mother that she can be. Zachary and Jessie are neighbors but have never met. When a kitten named Chaos and two little girls decide to have an adventure the two are thrown together. Both are a bit unsure of the other and opinions begin to form. Jessie doesn’t realize that you can’t judge a book by its cover, or by past relationships. Will she open her heart to trust and let things happen naturally before judging Zachary? Will Zachary be open to commitment or is he the playboy Jessie thinks he is and has been all his life? With a blend of great characters McKinlay is able to create a story filled with a pinch of sadness, lots of laughs and an abundance of love. I laughed, cried and smiled throughout and was deeply moved emotionally but this charming book.
Jenn McKinlay has once again released a sweet, heartwarming and super fun story. Every Dog Has His Day is book #3 in her absolutely delightful Bluff Pointe, Maine series. Zack Caine, brewery owner, is happy with his life. He has the brewery, his Maine crew of friends and interactions with ladies he meets when he feels attracted, as long as all parties agree that getting together is a “no-strings-attached” thing. Zack is the ultimate commitment-phobe. He also has a dog companion in the cinnamon colored standard poodle, Rufus – at least for now as he is doing long-term dog sitting for a friend. Jessie Connelly is happy to be free from her alcoholic, cheating ex-husband. Since she has two sweet, wonderful daughters she is determined to be the best mother for them and she also has a great job as office manager for town vet, Gavin Tolliver. So life is good even considering having to keep up with the overactive kitten, Chaos that she and her girls are fostering. Then Choas gets stuck on Zack’s roof and as he is such a good neighbor and hero it’s Zack to the rescue. Thus the fun begins!
The author does an excellent job with her storyline, plot and dialogue. She writes a believeable conflict and resolution. Along the way she keeps her readers attention and “funny bone” tickled with animal antics, cute kiddie scenes and super fun adult interactions. The conversations among the Maine crew friends are hilarious. How many differnt terms do you know for orgasm and intimate female body parts? The reader will laugh at those boy vs girl phrase competitions. The reader will also get to see who ends up packing to run away, who ends up wearing a purple pirate hat complete with plume and how a talent show ends up.
I have loved all the books in this series so far! Every Dog Has His Day is no exception. I highly recommend this book!
I voluntarilarly read an ARC provided by NetGalley for an honest review.
