You Lucky Dog

Nick and Charlotte’s story is a humorous tale of a mix-up with unexpected consequences in You Lucky Dog by Julia London. Carly Kennedy is already living a crazy, out of control life so when she comes home to find the dog walker switched out her depressed basset hound, Baxter, for a much perkier and friendlier one, she has definitely reached the end of her leash. Max Sheffington is bewildered when he finds a depressed male basset hound instead of his happy Hazel. After a long, chasing tail search, Carly discovers where her poor Baxter was left. When Max finds Carly on his doorstep he was surprised, expecting the dog walker, not a pretty woman with strange ideas about dog training. Carly was not expecting the handsome, bespectacled man to be feeding her dog mac and cheese or being allowed on the couch. The problem is that Baxter is head over heels happy with Hazel, and Carly realizes she may have found the key to her puppy’s happiness. For Baxter’s sake, she starts to spend more time with Hazel and Max, until she begins to understand the appeal of falling for your polar opposite. Ms. London wrote a wonderful, emotional, humorous story that is not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with sizzling chemistry, humorous banter, lots of laughs, and charming secondary characters, besides the dogs, giving Carly and Max a chance at love as well as a future together. I highly recommend You Lucky Dog to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Cute storyline and great characters. Love the dogs! Started off a little bit odd, but after a few pages made sense.

Baxter is a depress dog and this dog is definitely not her dog....plus it’s a girl. She tries to get a hold of the dog walker and no response. Things go downhill for Carly, crazy clients, crazy family and the list goes on. In the meanwhile Max, a professor who happens to be a brain scientist, wakes up to a similar situation. Trying to figure out what happen, how he winds up with this sad dog. He has a lot on his mind, trying to get his tenure at the university he works at, Trying to give his widowed dad a break from caring for his autistic brother. I don’t want to giveaway to much, but a very enjoyable, light hearted read.
