But handling the business and taking care of her teen twin sisters is a lot. And now that the antics of her adorable French bulldog and poodle bestie are blowing up on social media, things are even more chaotic than usual. And they only get worse when the world\u2019s worst dog hater shows up.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Thad Sims is not a dog person. He\u2019s barely a person\u2019s person. But after his grandmother is transferred to a senior living facility that doesn\u2019t accept pets, the former army officer agrees to care for her annoying standard poodle, and his first move is taking Puddin\u2019 out of daycare.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Now Ashanti\u2019s beloved Duchess is bereft of her companion, social media is outraged, and Ashanti\u2019s business is hanging in the balance. Her only option is to make nice with the surly, sexy Thad at all costs. But it\u2019s gonna take a tiara-wearing Frenchie, a well-dressed poodle, and a whole lotta treats to teach these humans a few new tricks about falling in love.<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-2 tb_4vns720 last\">\n                                                        <div class=\"tb-column-inner tf_box tf_w\">\n                        <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_e4h7720  repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16470 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2-hearts-1.jpg?resize=95%2C44&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"95\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Jun 4, 2024<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Hot<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong> Hachette Book Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong> Forever<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $11.99<\/p><hr \/><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Ashanti<\/strong> is a huge dog lover. She runs her life around her dog business, Barkingham Palace. Tell me that name is not cute! <strong>Thad<\/strong> is in town to open his sports bar. With his grandmother\u2019s assistance, he is able to purchase a building to house his business, but he now has to take care of her dog, Puddin\u2019. Thad is neither a fan of the dog nor Puddin\u2019s small romance with Ashanti\u2019s dog. The problem is that their story somehow went viral, and he has to help keep up with the puppy&#8217;s love.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I\u2019m not a big lover of animals in a book, so I tend to shy away from that. Simply because sometimes the author focuses too much on that and not enough on the romance. It is just hard enough trying to keep the plot, characters, and romance moving at the same pace. However, I didn\u2019t get too bogged down on the dog issues in this story.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I did, however, get bogged down with a few other issues in the story. This is a slow burn, which is not my normal jam. However, throughout the years, I\u2019ve come to appreciate the slow burn when it&#8217;s executed properly. Thad and Ashanti\u2019s relationship felt a bit forced to me. There is too much to filter through in the first half of the book. The story is very heavy with their background stories. After that, I had to ponder if I picked up a chick lit or another genre because they still hadn\u2019t made a play for one another.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ashanti\u2019s passion for animals and her business made her strong in her eyes. It\u2019s her joy, and Thad didn\u2019t share it initially. The author \u201ctells\u201d us that he is now a dog lover by how he is accepting of Puddin\u2019. It just comes a bit too late in the game for me to truly buy into it. I just think the main characters didn\u2019t feel compatible.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overall, if you are a dog lover or in need of a light romance, this is just the right book for you.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br \/><br \/><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_9vv6720 customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4eUIic7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/4biEcap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/pardon-my-frenchie-farrah-rochon\/1144153547?ean=9781538739150\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/pardon-my-frenchie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Farrah_Rochon_Pardon_My_Frenchie?id=4tXaEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ashanti Wright is thrilled over the success of her doggie daycare, Barkingham Palace.

But handling the business and taking care of her teen twin sisters is a lot. And now that the antics of her adorable French bulldog and poodle bestie are blowing up on social media, things are even more chaotic than usual. And they only get worse when the world\u2019s worst dog hater shows up.<br \/><br \/>Thad Sims is not a dog person. He\u2019s barely a person\u2019s person. But after his grandmother is transferred to a senior living facility that doesn\u2019t accept pets, the former army officer agrees to care for her annoying standard poodle, and his first move is taking Puddin\u2019 out of daycare.<br \/><br \/>Now Ashanti\u2019s beloved Duchess is bereft of her companion, social media is outraged, and Ashanti\u2019s business is hanging in the balance. Her only option is to make nice with the surly, sexy Thad at all costs. But it\u2019s gonna take a tiara-wearing Frenchie, a well-dressed poodle, and a whole lotta treats to teach these humans a few new tricks about falling in love.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2-hearts-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"95\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Jun 4, 2024<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Hot<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong> Hachette Book Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong> Forever<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $11.99<\/p><hr \/><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Ashanti<\/strong> is a huge dog lover. She runs her life around her dog business, Barkingham Palace. Tell me that name is not cute! <strong>Thad<\/strong> is in town to open his sports bar. With his grandmother\u2019s assistance, he is able to purchase a building to house his business, but he now has to take care of her dog, Puddin\u2019. Thad is neither a fan of the dog nor Puddin\u2019s small romance with Ashanti\u2019s dog. The problem is that their story somehow went viral, and he has to help keep up with the puppy's love.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I\u2019m not a big lover of animals in a book, so I tend to shy away from that. Simply because sometimes the author focuses too much on that and not enough on the romance. It is just hard enough trying to keep the plot, characters, and romance moving at the same pace. However, I didn\u2019t get too bogged down on the dog issues in this story.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I did, however, get bogged down with a few other issues in the story. This is a slow burn, which is not my normal jam. However, throughout the years, I\u2019ve come to appreciate the slow burn when it's executed properly. Thad and Ashanti\u2019s relationship felt a bit forced to me. There is too much to filter through in the first half of the book. The story is very heavy with their background stories. After that, I had to ponder if I picked up a chick lit or another genre because they still hadn\u2019t made a play for one another.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ashanti\u2019s passion for animals and her business made her strong in her eyes. It\u2019s her joy, and Thad didn\u2019t share it initially. The author \u201ctells\u201d us that he is now a dog lover by how he is accepting of Puddin\u2019. It just comes a bit too late in the game for me to truly buy into it. I just think the main characters didn\u2019t feel compatible.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overall, if you are a dog lover or in need of a light romance, this is just the right book for you.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4eUIic7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/4biEcap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/pardon-my-frenchie-farrah-rochon\/1144153547?ean=9781538739150\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/pardon-my-frenchie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Farrah_Rochon_Pardon_My_Frenchie?id=4tXaEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31266","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31266"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31266\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31273,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31266\/revisions\/31273"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31266"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31266"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
