Book Blurb:
My secret workplace romance starts innocently enough at a birthday party.
But when a rowdy partier knocks me into a lake and a sexy stranger comes to my rescue – my night becomes one to remember.
A night so steamy I almost forget why I’ve sworn off men after a failed workplace romance.
Trouble is, the brand new doggy daycare in Darling Springs that I’ve contracted with is owned by none other than my sexy stranger. Thanks, fate.
Sawyer turns out to be a total grump in a tailored suit, no matter how sunshine-y I am. Even when he squeezes that hard body past me as I bring donuts to work. Or when he pretends he’s not roaming his dark eyes over me as I teach Fido to sit, stay and come.
But I’m focusing on my shiny new future—my dog-training business is suddenly the hottest thing in town, thanks to a new actress client. And when I’m roped into a charity dance number, I smell an opportunity, especially when I learn my hot landlord has an alter ego and a fandom.
Turns out Mr. Serious Boss is up for dance lessons.
Then the entire Dirty Dancing experience.
Giving into our chemistry once won’t hurt. Two might be pushing it. By the seventh, it’s undeniable–I’ve got a crush on him too.

Thoughts:
I picked up this ALC from Hambright PR and would first like to thank them and Lauren Blakely for this early listen copy!
Chloe (FMC) is released from her job due to a series of unfortunate events caused by her ex-husband (who also worked at the company) sadly her boss is her ex father-in-law. Even though this is a set back for her she will get thru it she still has her side job as a dog trainer... maybe she can turn that into a more full time gig.
Sawyer (MMC) has a single focus of growing his business (pet day care and grooming) he now has multiple locations and seriously he has no time for women... especially after his ex fiance did him dirty. When he runs into Chloe at a party his sister has invited him to they hit it off why not have a bit of fun... it will be a one and done thing.
Sawyer rocks Chloe's world in all the best ways then she leaves never to see each other again... so naturally when she gets to the location of her new dog training business where she is renting a space inside a day care she's surprised to see Sawyer again as the new owner... what!! Oh no she already made the mistake of mixing business with pleasure before and look how that turned out, he's still hot but she didn't realize he was so grumpy.
This was a cute story about two people with broken hearts and walls up that try to avoid each other but just can't keep away and I loved watching them learn to trust each other and work together even though they had been hurt in the past. The Narrators Vanessa Edwin & Connor Crais did a great job bringing this story to life!
Sawyer was all business during the day but had some secrets and he would rather they didn't get out... when Chloe finds out even though she teases him and uses it to her advantage she doesn't let the secret slip to their co-workers.
Was the plot a bit ridiculous at times --> yes, Did I mind --> nope. If you enjoy a cute, cozy rom-com with small town vibes, lead characters that you root for and loveable side characters you might enjoy this one.
Have you read this one? What did you think?
