Ashanti Wright is thrilled over the success of her doggie daycare, Barkingham Palace. But handling the business and taking care of her teen twin sisters is a lot. And now that the antics of her adorable French bulldog and poodle bestie are blowing up on social media, things are even more chaotic than usual. And they only get worse when the world’s worst dog hater shows up.
Thad Sims is not a dog person. He’s barely a person’s person. But after his grandmother is transferred to a senior living facility that doesn’t accept pets, the former army officer agrees to care for her annoying standard poodle, and his first move is taking Puddin’ out of daycare.
Now Ashanti’s beloved Duchess is bereft of her companion, social media is outraged, and Ashanti’s business is hanging in the balance. Her only option is to make nice with the surly, sexy Thad at all costs. But it’s gonna take a tiara-wearing Frenchie, a well-dressed poodle, and a whole lotta treats to teach these humans a few new tricks about falling in love.

2.5/5 - I was really excited to read this book, so it's a shame it was a letdown. This did not give a rom-com as it lacked the romance and comedy.
Honestly, the romance was put on the back burner as much of the story was about Ashanti and Thad's separate lives and issues. The book focused too much on the dog business, her friends and family while Thad focused on opening a bar and his family woes. The “romance” didn't occur until around 70% into the book and it wasn't believable because how they got to that point didn't make sense. There was no chemistry whatsoever, so the love scenes came off cringey. I was bored most of the book. A disappointment.
This book was so precious. Farrah Rochon is not just a good writer— she's a good storyteller. I loved the way Ashanti and Thad's relationship developed and the way these two worked through challenges to create their businesses. The dogs were also so cute! ❤️
