Here's the thing about Tessa Dare...She's wittier than any other author I've ever read...and that's saying something.
Her dialogue always slaps and the comedy in her books is always top tier.
Absolutely one of my favorite things about any and all of her work are the sassy, spunky, adorable heroines and the men who fall for them almost immediately, despite telling themselves they absolutely will not fall in love.
Gabriel Duke just wants to sell the house he bought...that's it...that's all. Is that too much to ask?
It's a fine property, with a genteel lady of the Ton next door as it's main selling point. Easy, right?
Wrong.
Enter Lady Penelope Campion, Champion of All Downtrodden and Unloved Animals Everywhere. This woman has an entire menagerie of animals that she's rehabilitated and she refuses to give them up unless they all go to loving homes that will treat them with the same love and care she's given them.
Gabriel endeavors to assist her with this rehoming project...but, as everyone saw coming, he fell in love with her, her goat, her parrot, her pig, her dog, her cat, her groundhogs, her rabbits...(disclaimer: I don't really think there were all that many animals...I was just trying to make a point. I hope you got it.

I fancy this book and would have done more if it wasn't for every other character interrupting the storyline.

Aside from this not really having a plot, it was a ton of fun and one of the funniest books I've read in a while
