About this listen

Two hearts on the mend and one adorable mutt get a new leash on love in this romantic short story from award-winning author Rebekah Weatherspoon.

Andre Monroe is ready to move on from heartbreak, and the first step is bringing home his rescue pup. He’d bonded instantly with the playful Zeus and was already planning their first adventures. But one thing he definitely hadn’t daydreamed about was Zeus accidentally being promised to someone else - or that he might go home empty-handed and brokenhearted all over again.

Janelle Johnson is not giving up her claim to Zeus. He already has a hold on her heart (and his own Instagram handle). After the year she’d had, she needed this dog. But when she sees the disappointment of the big, burly handsome man who’s clearly just as in love with the dog as she is, she proposes a deal to Andre - for one month they’ll co-parent the dog. How hard could it be?

Both of them agree to the unusual arrangement. Sharing a dog with a complete stranger isn’t quite the walk in the (dog) park they imagined, but as they work together to give Zeus a loving future, their four-legged friend might not be the only one who’s found a happily ever after.

Entertaining story with a romance engendered by adoption of a dog (I’m a sucker for anything doggie’. A shortish story that (spoiler alert) ends well and is entertainingly read by a male and female actor.

Not just a shaggy dog story!

I love romance stories and read/listen to a lot of them. But I loved this one for a variety of reasons.

Lovable characters, great story plot, fab performances. But the thing I love the most is the representation. When the characters remind you of yourself not just personality wise but physically too. It’s nice to read a story about a black couple that isn’t couched in struggle love.
Thanks for this Rebecca!

Just what I needed

A predictable but light hearted novella which is easy listening..(No mention of the dog getting up to funny things like tying them together with the lead like in the picture).

Light-hearted chick lit
