The Truth About Love and Dogs by Lilly Bartlett

Meet your new best friends in the witty, uplifting, utterly hilarious tale that will make you laugh, cry and say “I know the feeling”. Perfect for fans of Beth Kendrick’s In Dog We Trust, Mary Kay Andrews and Inglath Cooper’s Good Guys Love Dogs!

This feel-good romcom was originally titled Love is a Four-Legged Word by Michele Gorman.

Four little words, uttered by her husband…‘Oh my god,’ he gasped into her shoulder. ‘Shannon!’

There’s just one problem: her name isn’t Shannon.

Scarlett and Rufus aren’t in the honeymoon stage anymore so much as the honey-should-we-bother phase. Scarlett has plotted, planned and waxed more than any woman should have to, but nothing is bringing back their sparkle. Which makes it very hard to start the family they want.

As the fairy dogmother of North London, Scarlett specialises in training naughty pets. She’s the last chance for the lovable dogs and their humans, so she spends her days tangled up in leashes and covered in fur with her business partner and best friend in the world. Thank goodness the women have each other.

But Scarlett has to get her relationship back on track, and Rufus isn’t sharing his feelings with her. He is, though, sharing with her best friend. Her best friend, Shannon.
