Readers will enjoy this amusing look at single life
1 Oct 2003
Format:Mass Market Paperback
After only one hour on the job at a Manhattan realtor, Kansas transplant Lavender "Vinnie" Hart is fired. She is concerned because she needs the money to bankroll her twelve-year-old brother Adam's attendance at the exclusive, but expensive Gotham Young Scientist Academy.
Nicholas Wright mourns the loss of his seventy-five old madcap Aunt Edna who recently committed suicide her style when she learned her health was failing. Nicholas inherits her dog Daffodil, but needs a dog sitter. Though she has limited experience except for volunteer work and her comment on circus work is outrageous; Nicholas hires Vinnie after she gets Daffodil out of a pond. As Vinnie and Nicholas become acquainted through a matchmaking canine, they fall in love, but his soulless squeeze Dana Dvorak has a plan to rid Nicholas of the dog and the Midwest intruder.
Readers will enjoy this amusing look at single life in Manhattan especially from the eyes of the transplanted Jayhawker. The story line contains a charming cast of characters except for dental drill Dana, who offers no competition except her body to the wholesome friendliness of Vinnie. However, the big scene-stealer is Daffodil whether she cons a biscuit or interrupts a kiss. Nicholas and Vinnie learn never costar with canines and children as they are too smart. Readers will take pleasure form this lighthearted romantic romp.

I Wish I Could Give This Book 10 Stars
4 Nov 2003
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I wish I could give this book 10 stars, that is how much I loved the book! Nick has inherite a spoiled haute couture canine he, Nick as a hectic success obsessed life. He hires Vinne Hart for a dog sitter, Vinnie needs this job to put her 12 year old brother in school, she has taken on mother as well as sister to Adam, Vinnie has a roommate from Hell and Nick dose not think it is safe for her to live there so he says he has extra rooms and that she can stay there until she finds another roommate. What Nick didn't expect once Vinnie has moved it his whole life will change. As I was reading at some parts I caught myself saying ohhhh, at some parts it had me laughing out loud. What a enjoyable book, I highly recommend this one for your next read
Happy Reading Lisa

Fun Heartwarming Read.
9 Dec 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Lavander Hart is from Kansas, she is in New York to be near her little brother, Adam. Adam has won a scholarship to one of the prestigeous private schools because of his intelligence. She is desperately looking for a job. Not having a college degree, she is not having much luck. Finally she finds a job as a dog sitter to a wealthy, successful architect.
Nicolas Wright is a workaholic, who has no time for love, romance or stopping to smell the flowers, much less the pooch his great aunt just left him. Vinnie is an answer to his ad. She is also an answer to his life, if he can just slow down enough to see her.
That is just what happens, suddenly somehow, a confirmed cynic, finds his home invaded with a delightful woman, a homesick boy, and a wonderful dog who has an outfit for every occasion. Let the fun begin.
