Purchase options and add-ons
"This is the romcom Carrie Bradshaw would have written if she were a dog person, and I'm obsessed!"—Teri Wilson, USA Today bestselling author of A Spot of Trouble
How do you start over when the biggest mistake of your life has more than one million views?
Forget diamonds—the internet is forever. Social media consultant Isla Thompson learned that lesson the hard way when she went viral for all the wrong reasons. A month later, Isla is still having nightmares about the moment she ruined a young starlet’s career and made herself the most unemployable influencer in Manhattan. But she doesn’t have the luxury of hiding until she’s no longer Instagram poison. Not when her fourteen-year-old sister, Dani, needs Isla to keep a roof over their heads. So, she takes the first job she can get: caring for Camilla, a glossy-maned, foul-tempered hellhound.
After a week of ferrying Camilla from playdates to pet psychics, Isla starts to suspect that the dachshund’s bark is worse than her bite—just like her owner, Theo Garrison. Isla has spent her career working to make people likable and here’s Theo—happy to hide behind his reputation as a brutish recluse. But Theo isn’t a brute—he’s sweet and funny, and Isla should not see him as anything but the man who signs her paychecks. Because loving Theo would mean retreating to his world of secluded luxury, and Isla needs to show Dani that no matter the risk, dreams are always worth chasing.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2024Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThe book was here 4 days earlier than expected and it is in perfect condition. This is my second purchase from this company. Highly recommend them.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseSo many books I’ve read lately have started out great but fizzled after the first 25%. Finally…a book that remained good to the end. Hallelujah! I think the characters, dialogue, and storyline were all entertaining.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2022Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseA joyous and wonderful story. Theo is a complicated character. He is wealthy and reclusive. Isla is fighting hard to survive and support her younger sister. The story is funny with a great little dog character who almost steals the show. Stefanie Landon showcases her dry wit with characters who talk to themselves and animals with funny outcomes. Isla steals into Theo’s life and heart and heals all the cracks and broken pieces. It is a redemption based in love for both of them.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseAs my Amazon account says, I am a Dachshund Lover. So when I saw a book with Dachshund in the title, and "New York Times Bestselling Author", I instantly bought it though I regret it now. I rarely pay full price for books and wisht I didn't for this one, but too late now. Also if I had known it was a Harlequin Romance, I would not have bought it. I have not read Harlequin romances since I was in high school, nearly 50 years ago. As Harlequin's go, this was better than the ones I read as a kid, however, personally I swiped past all the steamy love scenes in this book. They are not my cup of tea for entertainment reading. I can't blame the author for my mistake in buying a book, but I will say as someone who has had 7 dachshunds in their life over the years and presently have 2, this author does not know the breed and didn't spend time with it to write the book. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if this author had no idea that different dog breeds have different personalities. If you are a lover of a certain breed, this makes a difference when reading a story supposedly about them. Additionally, it is deceptive that the dachshund on the cover of the book is a Red Short Hair, big enough to be a standard, but the dog in the book is a Pale Cream Long Haired miniature Dachshund. I feel deceived that this was a book with a Dachshund as a main character. It very much was not. Some of the reviews I read first gave the idea the book had too much about the dog in it. Just my cup of tea I thought. But it was not to be.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI read frequently but don’t write reviews often. This was a really fantastic story. I was excepting a cute read but not to be so moved. I got teary in several parts of the book. It was a romantic fun story and also managed to capture my emotions. I loved the ending and watching the main characters open themselves up to love.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThe title intrigued me so when I started reading I couldn't put it down. It starts on a sad note but it ends on a happy one. The dachshund was the glue that brought them together and cemented their relationship. The sex was a little to explicit for my taste but the story was fun. I'm a dachshund lover so of course had to read this book but if you love dogs this is the book for you!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseEverything about this story resonated with me, from managing a destructive and picky Dachshund, falling for a mysterious and stubborn man, even the flighty genuine best friend.
I could not not stop reading this book.
It was witty, engaging, and heartfelt.
In short, I laughed, I cried, it moved me.
Must read for romance lovers.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI wasn't sure what this book would be about, but I decided to read it anyway. Such a great read! The main characters were incredibly human but loveable. I enjoyed watching their journey unfold. Just a great read overall.
