There is one type of pregnancy story that I enjoy: one that ends with puppies! Callie usually avoids her super sexy, playboy neighbor. She knows she’s attracted to him, but she’s sworn off bad boys for good. Then at the start of Leashed, she bumps into him while taking her Great Dane, Jack, for a walk. Owen happens to also be taking his Great Dane, Jill, for a walk. Needless to say, the two dogs hit it off immediately, and now Callie can’t avoid Owen anymore. Jill is going to have puppies and she also needs some training, which Callie has offered to take care of.

Leashed was super cute! I love dogs! Jack and Jill are simply adorable together! I loved learning more about the breed, as well as breeding and showing in general. Of course, I was also into the romance between the humans. I liked how there was no big drama between them. They make it clear that they shouldn’t get involved, which is easier said than done. Then they don’t tip toe around each other when the tension gets to be too much, they just go for it! I suppose they aren’t too different from their canine companions.

Leashed is a super short and rather cute romance novella, with a interesting canine related angle. Callie is a dog trainer with a pureblood Great Dane named Jack, and her neighbor is a gorgeous club owner who also happens to own a pureblood Great Dane named…get this, Jill. Yeah, plot convenience at its finest. It does make it really cute and a bit cheesy though. The romance of course is sped up to fit the book’s page limit but I had a bit of a problem with it, while I believed the chemistry was there I didn’t really like when the characters decided to talk. It a bit a stilted at times and the flirting was a tad awkward. I liked that it found a cute way to include the dogs into the story and I did learn a few things about dog breeding I didn’t know, however I also felt that it was almost too detailed on everything. From champion dog names to posture and everything else. While it was done in a realistic way it felt a bit generic and at times it was like a info overload, which might work better in a longer story but in something so short it just felt weird. I’m not sure I’ll pick up the next one but overall I thought this was a cute book with a touch of steamy romance and loveable dogs.
