Publisher's summary

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.

Shelter Mix Up

This Audible Original was so good !!! A mix up at the shelter gives Zeus to Janelle and Andre. They decide to co parent him and the rest is history. I'd definitely recommend.

Short and sweet.. A good afternoon read

Throughly enjoyed this. Was a good read while i worked. Rebekah's books are always extremely enjoyable and this one was true to form.

cute storyline

great to finally see a storyline with a black couple and a full figured woman!

Adorable

I absolutely enjoyed this book. It was sweet, adorable , and grown and sexy all at the same time.

Loved it!

Short, realistic and sweet. The couple had a very healthy relationship. I very much enjoyed this book.

Relatable and Light.

Very cute Novella. Nothing to deep or mind-blowing but relatable and light. I enjoyed it.

SO FREAKING CUTE!

This is my first audiobook experience and I really enjoyed it. I listened to it while doing chores around the house.

Love these Audible Originals

A great story with fabulous narration. Don’t miss out on listening to this cute romantic short.

Great way to find love

This is my first book by this author and this will not be my last. I love the way the characters in the book fell in love. I know several real love stories that were brought together by a fur baby.

Adorable, Quick, and a Dash of Sizzle

I loved this. I mean, a disaster-cute, a woman with curves and an artistic flair for creating gorgeous furniture matched with both and a burly fella who is a comics geek and an adorable dog? Who can resist?

And I didn't want to. I loved them both. Loved them for each other. Loved their spark, their ridiculous "are we really going to share a dog?" that worked so well given the set-up Weatherspoon included of them having—independently—strong reasons of their own for needing this dog in their life and also having coincidentally chosen the same trainer, vet, etc. Those little touches of being 'on the same page' with the dog made it so much easier to nod-and-smile at how perfect they were for each other. They clearly already saw the world through similar lenses...

Weatherspoon also does her usual signature perfect "awesome group of friends" dynamic and perfectly frustrating-but-loving family both in this one (seriously, reading or listening to Weatherspoon is a master class in either) and the sizzle is there, too. I freaking adored these two. I want this to be a movie on the big screen. And can we talk about the perfection that is the cover art?

The performers for this one were solidly cast, and they gave a really enjoyable performance. I'm going to dive into whatever else they've done, too.

Also, a small note but how wonderful: casually, at one point, the heroine asks if the fellow has a girlfriend, wife, husband or someone special and he notes something like, "no he, she, or they in his life" and can we talk about how (a) effortless that level of queer inclusion was and (b) how both of them become all the more wonderful and likeable given neither of them blink at the question or the answer?
