Review - Pug, Actually by Matt Dunn

Blurb

Loyal rescue pug Doug wants his adoring owner Julie to find unconditional love and happiness – and he knows she won’t find either in the arms of Luke, her married boss.

Doug is terrified that Julie will become a lonely cat-lover if she stays single too long, but he can’t let her fall for any more of Luke’s empty promises. Julie needs to move on – and Doug is convinced that Tom, a newly divorced V-E-T, is perfect for her (despite his questionable occupation).

There’s just one problem: Julie and Tom can’t stand each other.

Doug doesn’t quite understand the quirks and complexities of human relationships, but he won’t let that get in the way of his mission to bring Tom and Julie together. After all, being a ‘rescue’ works both ways…

Review

Although the conclusion was a foregone one (it IS a romance, after all) some of the twists in this book were unexpected.

Luke though was an utter cad, and the fact that Julie was oblivious to his smarmy nastiness for the greater part of the story made me want to shake her.

Doug was a sweetie and I'd love to think that dogs have all this going through their heads.

However, this was a fun read, so suspend belief for a couple of hours and immerse yourself in some lightheaded romance.
