Nice, fun story. He needs more fun in his life & she can help him with that. The best part for me was the dogs that I love.

This is the first book from this author that I have read. While it is the third book of a series, it was perfectly understood as a stand-alone. I enjoyed getting to know the Bower Belles. A group of ladies friends who get together with their dogs.
This story is about pre-school teacher, Megan Pennybaker, and ex-pro golfer, William Love. These two are complete opposites. Megan has a bright sunshine outlook of life. When things go wrong and you are handed lemons, she makes lemonade. William on the other hand has been dealt a rough hand of late. He was injured in an accident that ended his golfing career and ultimately his marriage. Bad things always seem to happen to him so he a grumpy, unpleasant man.
Seeing how the author gets these two together was a story that had me laughing at times and saddened at others. The internal look into Megan’s POV, was hilarious with her cute and funny sayings (most I have used myself). Seeing William’s POV, really endeared the character to me.
This was a really sweet, clean romance. There were a just a few kisses and nothing else. I really enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more from this author. I can highly recommend this story to anyone.
Wow. William’s cloudy persona is seen right off and quickly explained. Yeah, he’s been unlucky. But going in Megan is all rainbows and unicorns. We get to see the hurt that put that persona on her. Poor sweetie.
Together they make a great team. Will they get there without killing each other?
I enjoyed this one. I love a book that has animals and in this one they add so much to the story for me. Especially Pal, you can’t judge a breed by it’s stereotype set by society. He’s a very heartwarming part of the book. I loved Megan right off the bat. Her personality is what drew me right in.Then throw in grumpy William. You have a recipe for a great book. William has a streak of bad luck, but he finds the silver lining with the help of Megan. I loved how Megan brings out a different side to William that he thought would never come out to play again. The epilogue was the cherry on the top for this book.
A very cute and easy read bout a quirky teacher who takes lives bad experiences and turns them into something positive. Megan is this smart, loving, preschool teacher, that tries to take life as it comes except sometimes life throws us what it thinks we need and hers came in the form of a rude guy that literally knocks her off her feet. William is a bitter man who has been through some of the worst times of his life after suffering a career ending injury his wife left him and he has seen the world as nothing but doom and gloom for years now, until a certain person enters his life like a hurricane and teaches him how to let go and enjoy the special moments and take each thing as it comes. The things that happen to bring them together was hilarious, but I also felt so bad for William because he seriously thought nothing good could come out of his life. A funny read about learning to let go and live in the moment with amazing characters and even better furry friends. Steam level is low but it is very sweet read
I loved Megan & William! Its a true opposites-attract love story and with each page, I found a smile on my face. Plus the dogs! I loved them.
I really enjoyed the fact that this was a sweeter book. It was such an amazing escape and I loved every moment!
I think these neighbors both have a good heart, they just bump heads a little when it comes to their individual outlook on life. They provide relatable examples on how to handle things when they go a bit off course. I think Megan should’ve been more forthcoming but their HEA was very sweet.

A.wonderfully fun and entertaining book. Poor William, he is convinced that he is the poster boy for bad luck; he is trying to rebuild his life after a tragic event, but things still seem to be headed wrong. Enter Megan, a preschool teacher who sees rainbows, silver linings and lemonade fixings everywhere. William and Megan come together over a dog and then there are some misunderstandings which threaten to tear them apart. Throw in some more dogs, some well meaning friends, some tears and a lot of laughs and you have Teddy Cat Hester’s new Bowser Belles book. Each can be read as a stand alone, but are even more fun when read as a continuing series. This book had me laughing, crying, outraged, heartbroken and cheering. I highly recommend it and the other Bowser Belle books.

I received a complimentary ARC – early release copy of this book in Kindle format from the author for review purposes.
This is the first book I have read by this author and it was different than I expected. First its a VERY clean romance. There are lotsa kissing but nothing more than that. I also was a little iffy if I really liked the heroine as she sorta betrays the hero by keeping a secret from him. Also this story has ALOT of dogs, ALOT and they play a big part in the story.
Aside from that I LOVED the hero, he is grumpy fellow but he had good reasons for that. I also enjoyed the story as the author threw lots of stumbling blocks at the couple.
Megan is the heroine in this story and she is a preschool teacher and is William’s neighbor but they get off to a rough start in this story. William has bought a golf course, he is the new guy in town and is a divorced ex golf player.
He believes he is cursed and bad things happen to him all the time and Meg believes that life can be hard but she is very Pollyanna like in that she makes lemonade from lemons. One of the big issues between Meg and Will is a piece of land they both want. One of the reasons I did not like Meg was because she wants that land and goes behind his back to try and get the land back but she never ever tells Will. It made it hard for me to like her as in a way she is betraying Will’s trust.
Aside from that I highly enjoyed this story and fell hard for Will and his dog PAL.
