CW: Pet death, pet illness, infidelity

Farrah Rochon is one of my auto-buy authors and I was especially excited for this book! How can you go wrong with a pug-filled romance?

From the Publisher:

From the outside, veterinarian Evie Williams appears to have the perfect but boring life. She is desperate to figure out a way to shake it up, but gets more than she bargained for when she finds her fiancé in bed with another woman. Suddenly, Evie is without a fiancé or a job, and isn’t sure what her next steps should be. That is, until her college crush, Bryson Mitchell, returns to town.  

Now, a nationally recognized veterinary surgeon, Bryson is stunned when he encounters Evie Williams for the first time in half a decade. When they learn the animal shelter where they used to volunteer is in danger of closing, the two must work together to save it. It has Bryson wondering, can he and Evie also save the friendship they once shared and finally bring it to the next level?  

This book is sweet, sexy, and full of adorable animals. I adore Evie and Bryson as a couple. They’re both smart, successful, caring people who reconnect after nearly a decade apart and as Evie and Bryson navigate their growing feelings for each other, we also get to see the fabulous friendships that Evie has with her best friends. Even with Evie and Bryson’s instant and explosive chemistry, Bryson leaving town after college without a word to Evie truly broke her heart. They both have a lot of healing and growing to do in order to give their relationship a chance, and Rochon writes it all so beautifully.

Set in and around New Orleans, we get to experience all the charm and magic of the city through Evie and Bryson’s dates. From the dog parks to dog-friendly cafes, it felt like talking a tour with someone who truly loves the city. Definitely don’t read this on an empty stomach!

Pugs and Kisses is smart, funny, and very cute. I love Rochon’s books and this one is exceptional. If you’d like to add this fantastic book to your shelf, you can click on the cover above or here for ordering information.
