As a dog lover, this book was all the feels for me. It's the perfect enemies to lovers or grumpy/sunshine trope. Ashanti owns a doggy daycare that is a place that treats pups like royalty. It's even in the name and marketing - Barkingham Palace Doggy Daycare. She has Frenchie Duchesa who ends up going viral with her dog bff, Puddin. Imma call him her boyfriend. She is taking care of her teenage sisters (twins) that cause her to put her personal life aside and focus on the twins and the doggy daycare. Thad is the grandson of Puddin's owner and he is tasked with dog sitting while his grandmother recovers at an assisted living facility where she cannot bring Puddin. He is supposed to pull Puddin from the doggy daycare but Ashanti needs to get him to agree to take Puddin on a press tour with Duchesa to capitalize off of the success of their viral videos. She is at a crossroads with her business and needs this opportunity to help her win a small biz competition so she can buy a larger daycare and expand her business. 

This story could not be any cuter. It made me dive into Farrah Rochon's backlist. I reread The Boyfriend Project series and followed those three up with The Holmes Brothers (8 books) and the New York Sabers (4 books). I am a fan for life.
