I love family, dogs and love stories. i’m too old to care about hot men, but I’m not blind though.
Gotta give this one a high rating, cause I love dogs and romance! Actually Ms. St. Clair inserted just the right amount of Irish anecdotes and doggie language to warm everyone’s heart. Garrett has had his success with the dot.com business but now looks for something closer to home. Jessie Curtis has a chance to climb the corporate ladder to broadcast if she can interview the one boy who stole her young heart. Dogfather Daniel Kilcannon offers advice and love and home to all of his grown children as they build a dog rescue. Garrett and Jessie both learn from the lost dog Lola how important finding trust in a person is in order to find love.
Beautiful story….you will all love it.
A family story of how they stuck together and backed each other up when necessary. A reporter attempting to understand this family story and report on it.
Loved this book.
Love the animals as well as the characters and big family feel.
Sex
An easy read, but the plot was weak. Ok if the reader is looking for an uncomplicated story that’s easily read in a day or two. Good vacation read.
Easy to get into the characters. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
This is not my first Roxanne St. Claire book so I knew that I could count on this to be fun and easy reading. Sit…Stay…Beg is the first book in the Dogfather series. It was fun and easy! I’m gonna be honest, I’ve had this on my Nook “Next Read” shelf for a long time. There’s just something about that cover that puts me off a little. It’s not bad, but it is a little cheesy. I was afraid the story would be, too. Rest assured that it isn’t. Oh, it’s predictable, light-hearted, easy on the drama (although there is some), and simply put, is a fun summer afternoon read. I’d put it in the beach read category.
Jessie and Garrett aren’t the just met, insta-love couple. They do have a history. Sort of. If you count one game of Manhunt where they played their own game as history. Jessie was the kid that hung around with Garrett’s little sister and spent most of her days at their house. She had a huge crush on him, he barely knew she existed until he noticed her. But, he quickly forgot her, too.
Fast forward seventeen years and they meet again. Jessie is on an assignment and Garrett is putting his life back together while holding tight to a secret that changed him forever. Those things lead to frustration for both. They dance around one another for a while but eventually come to an agreement
If you’re looking for a deep, intriguing, meaningful story keep looking. If you’re looking for some fun, easy, brain candy reading and you love dogs, you may enjoy this one.
