Description

"A swoon-tastic rom-com that readers will love from beginning to end." —Romance by the Book on The Dachshund Wears Prada

Can you ever really forget the one who got away?

August Merriweather has always been good with animals. In fact, she’s known as Manhattan’s Dog Whisperer. Men, on the other hand? Not so much. She’s been falling for the wrong guys ever since her regrettable crush on Keaton Sax, older brother of her best friend, Leah, and the biggest jerkface this side of the Hudson. 

Now an emotionally closed off widower, Keaton has become one of the most formidable men on Wall Street, but August knows his secret. He’s not driven by sales targets and bonus checks—Keaton just wants to give his family the security they never had. So when Leah asks Keaton to wrangle her over-the-top, dramatic husky at a weekend talent competition, Keaton says yes…and begs August to help him win the event for Leah.

Between obstacle courses, Molly’s husky temper tantrums and a cabin with just one bed, August is having a blast. Away from the pressure to have a “perfect life” with the “right guy,” she finds herself relaxing and getting to see the softer side of the man she once loved. Is this just a temporary truce? Or could Keaton finally be the right guy at the right time?

    August Merriwether is the dog groomer to the Manhattan elite. Her business is booming, but per personal life is not. Her friends are all pairing up and she seems to only attract jerks on the dating apps. She has decided to go to a professional Matchmaker, but even these men don’t measure up to her first crush, Keaton Sax. Keaton is August’s best friend’s Leah’s brother. Keaton is a widower who has shut off everything in his life except his work and family. He is known as the “Wall Street Whiz Kid,” but has been questioning the tactics used by his firm. When his sister has an MS flare up, she asks him to take her Husky to an animal social media influencer competition. Since Keaton and her Husky Molly aren’t on the best of terms, he asks August to help him out. When they get to the location, of course, there is only one room with one bed. This is a really touching story, and both protagonists are good, likable people. While Keaton appears to be “grumpy,” he is a good person who really loves his family, and is terrified of opening his heart up after the death of his wife. Overall, this is a really nice way to end this series. I received an arc of this book from NetGalley and the publisher, for my honest review.

  • Great book!

    This book was a great way to end a fun series. We met August in the previous books, she was the dog groomer that worked with and was friends with Isla and Scout. Who I am happy to say we get to see in this book also. August has been in love with her best friend’s older brother, Keaton, since she first met him at a teenager but it wasn’t meant to be back then. August’s best friend is supposed to take her dog to a social media documentary filming tryout but can’t make it and asks Keaton to take her dog, Molly. Keaton asks August to help out because Molly (a husky) does not like Keaton and makes these thoughts known. Normally in books a pet is just a pet but in this book Molly is a character and a hilarious one at that. She gets her thoughts across by the look on her face :P. Keaton and August have chemistry together but Keaton is still getting over the death of his wife, even though it has been several years. Keaton basically walled off himself from being hurt again but getting away from work and having some time alone with August (and Molly, lol) makes him realize he is lonely but he isn’t sure what to do about it because he doesn’t want to be hurt again. This was a wonderful book and I really enjoyed Keaton and August as a friends and a couple.

  • Definite winner.

    Excellent addition to this series. Loved the interaction between Molly and her “underling’s”, made the story fun, laughed out loud in several places. There were a couple of spots that made me question the story line and it was long in places, but all worked out. A definite winner, do not miss this one.
