Product Description
"A GUY VS. A DOG"
"One of them is affectionate, loving, and eternally loyal -- a companion for life who lives only to make you happy..."
Small-town veterinarian Megan Rose doesn't usually wake up next to strangers. But this morning she finds one sleeping in her bed. Unfortunately, "Baywatch" a stray puppy, doesn't belong at the address on her tags, either: the mansion of Sutter Foley, millionaire software mogul and six fabulous feet of gorgeous, eligible male.
Sutter doesn't even "like" dogs. He does, however, like the sexy, spunky vet who's trying to saddle him with a pooch. The animal magnetism they share is intense, but so is the spotlight in which Sutter lives. Can Megan stand the heat? Though her outspoken ways make a lot of waves in Sutter's goldfish-bowl world, he's never enjoyed life so much. Could she be the trustworthy companion he's been looking for . . . or should he stick with the dog?
It's the old story: girl meets dog . . . girl and dog meet guy . . . guy loses girl, gets dog . . . Or will there be a frisky new twist to this puppy's tale?

So it's not rocket science. Who cares?
26 Feb 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Given that the text in the book description field comes from the back of the book, I wasn't looking for something deep that would wring new depths of emotion from my tattered soul. The book was predictable, based on the back copy, and it was exactly what I was looking for. I enjoyed the character development, cared about what happened to them, and even knowing that things would have to turn out ok, I found myself crying over some of Megan's problems. I enjoyed Sutter's elderly aunt, who "seemed to have a great deal of trouble keeping things straight sometimes", but who cares about Sutter, and wants what she believes is best for him. I enjoyed the canine characters, and especially one of Megan's more exotic patients.
My only problem, and it's not uncommon for me, is that I'd really like to see some of the "happily ever after". Trouble is, there wouldn't be much plot at all. Maybe Fox could develop one or both of the supporting characters and I could peek in on how things are working out here while I enjoyed a new plot line.
The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because of the predictablility. I don't know why that should bother me, when it's just what I wanted. I suppose I'm just unreasonable.

Major fun! Easy read from an intelligent writer!
15 Feb 2007
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I'm not ashamed of the fact that I like to read popular fiction instead of Proust, but still I only enjoy INTELLIGENT writing. Elaine Fox is VERY clever, very smart, and says things the way I only WISH I could. In short, she is one of a handful of my favorite popular fiction authors. I'd recommend Fox's work to anyone, with absolute confidence.
Guys and Dogs is a particularly fun book -- partly because I've spent a lot of time at my sister's house in Fredericksburg, VA and recognize most the places mentioned (right down to the walk-everywhere dog society...my sister is a dog freak!). What I like best is how Fox combines the coziness of a funny little group of women friends talking straight with each other about men and life AND the sexiness of a red-hot sexy romance between Sutter and Megan. In fact, as with all of Fox's books (and I stared with "Traveller"), the sexual tension crackles until you just can't wait for the hero and heroine to finally get together!!!!
If you like small-town settings and larger-than-life romances, woven together seamlessly by a master who creates realistic characters acting in realistic ways, this is the book for you! Whether you're on an isolated beach or a crowded bus, Guys and Dogs will take you away!

Fun and racy love story
20 Feb 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Megan Rose just took over the veterinary practice of her father - a man well known in the animal community as being pretty hands on with his clients. When she wakes up to find an errant golden retriever puppy in her bed she sets out to find the owner (at least according to the tag), who happens to be Sutter Foley, a reclusive billionaire software exec who thinks she is trying to spy on him. He knows it is not his, and probably belonged to a big mouthed gardener he fired recently. Then he realizes she doesn't plan to take the dog home with her.
After a couple run-ins at the local dog park, and some pretty steamy kisses, the two find themselves as tabloid fodder (particularly since he is supposedly nearly engaged to a privileged woman used to the media spotlight). And despite ever having been on a real date, the two have fallen for each other. But will Sutter's distrust and her on fears and inability to keep her mouth shut be the end of the relationship?
Fox manages to pen a contemporary love story with a pretty racy love scene that will have more than tails wagging. In a side story, Megan's father and her friend Georgia scheme to uncover the paternity of a litter of puppies in a dog sperm custody suit. It is a hilarious story and fun right to the last page.
