Book Description:
They've Got Nothing In Common...
For animal behaviorist Emma Jenkins, romance has been at the bottom of her daily "to do" list since making it through a messy divorce. But everything changes the day six-feet-of-gorgeous Thomas Tobin walks into her office with a quivering Chinese Crested named Hairy, a canine that looks more like an underfed rodent than a dog. Sure Thomas is sending her mixed signals-but that charming smile just sent Emma's dormant sex drive through the roof...

But Animal Attraction-
Thomas isn't looking for a fling. In fact, he wants nothing to do with women. He just wants to know if Hairy witnessed his owner's murder. But something tells him that asking Emma to help him with the case will spell nothing but trouble-trouble in the form of serious temptation.

And the Willingness To Take A Chance On Love
Thomas knows that relying on Emma's expertise-and her soft touch with a weird dog that has somehow become his-may be a crazy way to track a killer. Especially when Emma's down-home warmth makes him want to believe that anything is possible-even true love.

this book is great! It's funny and a lot of the dialogue is in the characters' minds, including the dog! I've chuckled several times and think it's a very cute sexy read. It's hard to classify though; at first I was comparing her to Vicki Lewis Thompson but this story isn't as cutesy per se since it has some serious elements but still enjoyed it enough I ordered another of her titles from here! and the woman is a size 12 which makes me happier!

Sexy, sizzling and downright funny. Lots of playfully erotic love scenes will keep you entertained.

A fun, romance book - it definitely had it's twist and turns. It's nice to see in romance stories that the two characters that will get together eventually, don't get together right away. But then again it's frustrating to see the two characters act like complete idiots about each other, but that's the way the author wants to write it to make the reader feel that way. :p Very good book, I really like this author quite a bit.

Susan Donovan is one of my auto-by authors. This is one of my all-time favorite. It is really funny, sweet, emotional, sexy (not necessarily all at once!) You will thank me after you read it.

A hilarious tale of a small town animal behaviorist recovering from a messy divorce who meets a single cop who inherited a Chinese Crested dog as part of a murder investigation.

This book is hilariously fun for anyone who loves little bitty dogs who like to challenge their people.
