Summary
"A swoon-tastic rom-com that readers will love from beginning to end." --Romance by the Book on The Dachshund Wears Prada
Can you ever really forget the one who got away?
August Merriweather has always been good with animals. In fact, she's known as Manhattan's Dog Whisperer. Men, on the other hand? Not so much. She's been falling for the wrong guys ever since her regrettable crush on Keaton Sax, older brother of her best friend, Leah, and the biggest jerkface this side of the Hudson.
Now an emotionally closed off widower, Keaton has become one of the most formidable men on Wall Street, but August knows his secret. He's not driven by sales targets and bonus checks--Keaton just wants to give his family the security they never had. So when Leah asks Keaton to wrangle her over-the-top, dramatic husky at a weekend talent competition, Keaton says yes...and begs August to help him win the event for Leah.
Between obstacle courses, Molly's husky temper tantrums and a cabin with just one bed, August is having a blast. Away from the pressure to have a "perfect life" with the "right guy," she finds herself relaxing and getting to see the softer side of the man she once loved. Is this just a temporary truce? Or could Keaton finally be the right guy at the right time?

Publisher's Weekly Review
London wraps up her Paws in the City series (after Pets of Park Avenue) with a cute romance that doesn't break new ground, but charms nonetheless. Celebrity dog groomer August "Auggie" Merriweather is great with animals, but less successful with men. She turns to a matchmaker for help, but her blind dates can't compare to her best friend Leah's brother, Keaton Sax, a Wall Street financier who buries himself in increasingly ethically questionable work to fulfill a promise to his late wife that he would "get to the top." Despite workaholic tendencies, Keaton is always available to Leah, even if it means taking her dog, Molly, to a weekend-long competition in upstate New York while she recovers from a multiple sclerosis flare-up. Given he's not much of a dog person and Molly is a talkative, stubborn husky, he begs for Auggie to accompany him and help out. Forced to share the only remaining hotel room, Auggie and Keaton finally act on their mutual attraction, with Molly's presence doing little to inhibit their inevitable relationship status upgrade. Their ensuing romance is just as adorable as the misbehaving canines who often steal the show. It's a worthy series finale. Agent: Jull Marsal, Marsal Lyon Literary. (Aug.)
