Although we've watched a lot of romantic (straight) movies and TV shows, as a gay guy, I (Rob) have never read a straight romance novel... until now. My mother in law found a book that involves Dachshunds (since we're Dachshund and Weimaraner dads) called "Must Love Wieners" by Casey Griffin and gave it to us to enjoy. Disclaimer: She didn't read it but she should have! It was a cute "girl meets boy" story with 2 Dachshunds in the middle of it.
The story had some mystery to it, like finding out who the person or persons were that were making things tough for the main character, a 26 year old Veterinarian student named Piper. Piper and her Dachshund, Colin went everywhere together. She drove a cab, did singing telegrams and volunteered at a dog rescue.
The 20-something love interest, Aiden was also a great character. I must confess, that if straight women go through continually doubting straight men, and questioning them when they do nice things, that's quite a challenge to have a good relationship.
Of course as a gay married man, it made me breathe a sigh of relief. LOL.
Seriously, this book was fun, the characters were fun and I enjoyed it. ..as I do with most books that involve Dachshunds or Weimaraners! A very cute love story.
ABOUT THE BOOK FROM AMAZON:
First in a wickedly funny new series brimming with mystery and romance!
Piper Summers works like a dog juggling three jobs to put herself
through veterinary school―driving taxis, delivering pizzas, and singing
telegrams. Thankfully, Piper has her devoted dachshund Colin to help her
keep things in line. That is, until she gets fired...and someone throws
her a bone that is too good to resist.
Aiden Caldwell is an
Armani ad come to life―a billionaire CEO who’s just adopted a dachshund
from the rescue center where Piper volunteers. He’s hot on Piper’s tail
to be his personal dog walker...but he may be after more than a walker
for his wiener. The gorgeous, spirited Piper is everything he’s ever
wanted from a woman―and more. But can Piper ever love, and trust, a man
who has never learned to open his heart―or has she bitten off more than
she can chew?
Must Love Wieners is the first book in Casey Griffin's Rescue Dog Romance series!
