I’m in love…

Synopsis

The thought of having a dog hasn’t crossed Theo Martin’s mind. It’s not that he doesn’t like dogs – he does – but the idea has simply never occurred to him.

It has occurred to his mother though, and when she decides to buy him a puppy because she thinks it will “liven him up a bit”, his life is turned completely upside down and not for the better as far as he’s concerned. But when he discovers that having a cute dog on the end of a lead attracts a great deal of female attention, he soon changes his mind. All kinds of women stop to pet the pup and while they coo over Poppy, they talk to him. A lot. And for Theo, it looks like his love life is taking a very welcome turn for the better.

But what about Josie Wilde, his dog sitter?

Forced to employ someone to walk his dog when he’s in work, he finds himself increasingly attracted to her, but unfortunately Josie’s interest in him appears to be purely professional. As the summer unfolds and he falls head over heels in love with the sweet and vulnerable pup, he finds himself falling for Josie.

For Theo, it’s not so much ‘love me, love my dog’, but more like ‘love my dog, love me, too’. Please…?

My review

Surprised by his parents, Theo Martin finds himself in possession of a dog. He never thought of buying one himself, so he has no clue what to do with “it”.
But his mother is certain it will make his life more interesting.
Theo does not agree as this sweet little puppy, Poppy, is just turning his life upside down!

Soon he sees the perks of taking a cute puppy for a walk, as he suddenly received a lot of female attention.
Despite the attention he now receives, he is relying on a dog sitter for the time he is spending at work, and trying to find a new family for Poppy. Because of course he is not keeping this little puppy!

OH MY GOD I LOVED THIS BOOK SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!
And I fell in love with Poppy! I want her myself!

But back to the story!
I enjoyed reading every bit of it!
Theo is initially out of his depth, as he has no clue how to handle a puppy. He does not know what to feed her, how to train her etc.
And he is still determined to find another family for her.
But when the moment is there, he finally realizes what everybody knew all along… he’s just fallen in love with poppy, like all the readers!
And the lengths he goes for her, ooow just instant swoon!

He wants the best for Poppy, so he hires Josie as a dog sitter. and not only poppy loves Josie, also Theo is falling for her!

This book had me smiling from the start until the very end! It shows you how a dog can change a person’s life for the better.
Thanks to Poppy, Theo starts going out more, meets more women and is having a more active life.  And he even starts to like his job all over again!
He also becomes more protective towards Poppy, showing what a caring man he really is!

I can talk and describe so much more about this amazing book, but it would not be enough to express the joy this story brought me!
If you want to feel true happiness while you’re reading a book, if you want to feel how the love sparks, do not hesitate any further read this book!
And said by me, a real cat person, converted to a Poppy lover, means a lot! 😃
