"Home is Where the Bark Is" Book Review...

...I'm telling you all, I've been a reading machine lately! I've made an effort to spend at least an hour a day reading because honestly, that hour would probably be spent watching tv or on the computer so it's been an easy hour to spare. The latest book that I finished was "Home is Where the Bark Is" by Kandy Shepherd. In you remember correctly, Kandy also wrote "Love is a Four-Legged Word." I did a post book review on it last June and Kandy commented ON MY BLOG! I'm also friends with her on Good Reads, she seems like a really sweet person. Okay, back to the review....

This is kind of like a sequel to "Love is a Four-Legged Word." The main character, Serena, was introduced in the first book as Maddy's best friend. Now Serena, ex-model, has opened up a doggy day-care. PI Nick has noticed that quite a few of Serena's clients have had identity theft issues which leads him to the doggy day-care to check out the owner, his number one suspect. Right away there's tons of fireworks between Nick and Serena that they both deny and the book follows them, a sweet doggy Mack and the hunt for the identity thief.

I liked this book because it had romance, mystery and dogs! I did find the first half of the book moved a little slow and focused too much on Serena's and Nick's suppressed feelings for each other. I would have rather cut that out and had more time with them together! Kandy did use one of my most favorite words ever-towhead (it was a word of the day in 5th grade, the only one that I remember!). I love the puppies in the story and the puppy love. I wouldn't say it was a page turner (until the last couple chapters) but it was a sweet, easy and fun read. So...what are you all reading these days?
