The one I remember reading recently was one of Fiona Lowe's called " Saved by The Bride" I think, and there was a cute little dog and another working dog involved in that story. They brought their own romance to the storyline. Also funny title relatable episodes made you smile and laugh out loud sometimes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01666708163109293348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-14815487148149171992014-10-18T07:58:43.628+11:002014-10-18T07:58:43.628+11:00Love the extract :) Once Upon A Bride sounds like ...Love the extract :) Once Upon A Bride sounds like a fab read.<br /><br />I like pets in books where they play a vital role especially between the H&H.

Very clever and made the heroine so real. <br /><br />**Annie - I loved Getting Rid of Bradley - classic, I'd forgotten about that book :)Joanne Dannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13860484505716962263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-76523387251485648912014-10-18T07:37:25.374+11:002014-10-18T07:37:25.374+11:00Helen, it sounds like Lauren is in real trouble - ...Helen, it sounds like Lauren is in real trouble - which makes me want to read on!

Sounds like a fabulous story!<br /><br />I read a Harlequin Superromance a few years back called Love By George which featured a lovable and hilarious Great Dane. There was also an Entangled anthology called The Billionaire's Matchmaker, which had a very cheeky Jack Russel.
