This rom com was refreshing and delightful! Ashanti is the owner of a doggie daycare and dog treat business that goes viral. She meets the grouchy grandson of one of her favourite clients, and sparks fly (despite a bad first impression). I loved how multi faceted Ashanti was and that whilst running her business, she was navigating the complexities of real life - including caring for her teenage sisters.

Pardon My Frenchie is funny and sweet, leans into the enemies to lovers trope, there’s some very sweet dogs (including a doggie pageant), and a whirlwind trip to New York City. So many great elements and a lot of heart.

Thanks to Forever + NetGalley for the opportunity to read this eARC in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this book, but I felt like there was a lot going on. It was so cool to see Ashanti and the progression of her business, and I’m glad that a lot of the book was focused on that. I wish we would’ve seen a bit more of Ashanti with Kendra and Kara. The romance fell a bit flat for me. I liked Thad, but it was just a bit hard to overcome his original portrayal and some of the things he did. I thought the highlighting of veterans right after the military was really cool, and it’s not something I’ve read about before. The addition of the bit of drama at the end of the book was kind of off the wall, and I don’t really feel like it added anything. Overall, this was a sweet story and I loved Ashanti and watching her take on challenges and grow.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Highly recommend for dog lovers!

While I had a fun time with this and love Thad...I didn't like him in the beginning and I think we can all agree why. BUT he does grow on you.

I didn't love

the situation with Kendra and it didn't necessarily feel needed.

I love Mrs. Frances and the way that she extorted her husband though.

I'm hoping maybe a companion novel for Ridley and Von even though I didn't really love Ridley at times.

I love this black romance with queer black side character representation. Gave me all the feels. And as a hopeful future dog owner I learned a lot. I want to make biscuits for it too. Not a military fan but was an interesting part of the story. Also love new Orleans references makes me want to visit soon. And I almost thought this book had no smut but there is in fact smut thank the ancestors. It didn't need it but I always enjoy good spice.
