 This one was cute, fluffy, a little cheesy, and filled with puppies. Ashanti owns a doggy day care business and a growing doggy biscuit business. She's also raising her two younger sisters, so she really doesn't have time for a boyfriend. Thad is recently retired from the military and looking to start a bar/hangout for veterans with his friend Von. One day Thad shows up at Ashanti's doggy day care to (reluctantly) pick up his grandma's dog and comes off as a real ass. But a viral video of their two dogs throws them together...

Grumpy sunshine, dislike to love, forced proximity, and no third act breakup!! Nothing too heavy happened in this book--we weren't dwelling on characters' trauma for a long time, and even the things that were more serious still felt relatively low-stakes. A lot of this story has to do with the characters building their businesses, which was interesting. I wasn't completely obsessed with their romance or anything, but this kept me entertained and I appreciate that. I definitely highlighted some lines that I found a bit corny/cringe, but not too many to make me dislike the book.

Would definitely recommend if you're a dog person!!
