Sit… Stay… Beg

 

The Dogfather isn’t just one man…it’s a brand new contemporary romance series from New York Times bestselling author Roxanne St. Claire celebrating what she loves most: hot guys, great dogs, big families…and true love. And a portion of the proceeds from every book in the series will be donated to the Alaqua Animal Refuge in the author’s home state of Florida! All the “cover dogs” are rescues from Alaqua, where the covers for the series were photographed!

SIT…STAY…BEG

Garrett Kilcannon, a former dot com super-success who now devotes his life to rescuing dogs and finding them homes, prefers to keep his secrets buried as deep as a dog hides his bone. So when he learns his father has invited a journalist to Waterford Farm to write and produce an in-depth profile on him, he doesn’t care that she’s a childhood friend or drop dead gorgeous. He has zero tolerance for the media…until he sees a different side when she gets through the walls of a rescue dog who’s refused to eat during her short stay at Waterford. Unwillingly charmed and undeniably attracted, Garrett agrees to the interview that could break down a few of his emotional walls, too. 

Garrett might not want to share the story of his colorful former life, but Jessie Curtis has the skills to peel back the layers of this sexy, complicated, caring man. In the process, she not only discovers his secrets, she finds herself falling for a man who touches her heart in a way she never thought possible. Her entire career is riding on this one explosive interview, but can she bear to repay Garrett’s trust by selling his secrets? Or can a woman who gave up on happiness a long time ago learn to believe that all it takes to rescue a lost heart is the love of a good man? 

The Dogfather Series 

Daniel Kilcannon is known as “The Dogfather” for a reason. It’s not just his renowned skills as a veterinarian, his tremendous love of dogs, or the fact that he has turned his homestead in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains into a world class dog training and rescue facility. Ask his six grown children who run Waterford Farm for him, and they’ll tell you that their father’s nickname is due to his uncanny ability to pull a few strings to get what he wants. And what he wants is for his four sons and two daughters to find the kind of life-changing love he had with his dearly departed wife, Annie. This old dog has a few new tricks…and he’ll use them all to see his pack all settled into their happily ever afters!

My Review

This is one of those books that sneak up and leave the reader with the warm fuzzies.

Daniel Kilcannon has turned his homestead in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains into a world class dog training and rescue facility after the death of his wife, Annie. His children help with different areas of the business and each book in the series features their stories.
Garrett left his dot com corporation to care for rescue dogs on the ranch and find them their forever homes.
Jessie Curtis once considered Waterford Farms the home she wished she had. When she’s given the opportunity of her journalistic career interviewing the secretive Kilcannon she’d crushed on as a teen, her loyalties are divided.

Will these two disillusioned people learn to trust in love, or will the story see the light of day and ruin their chances? 

Handsome men and puppies, what’s not to like about this series? 🙂
