Sit, Stay, Love (Love Unleashed #1) by Dana Mentik -- Book Tour Review + Giveaway

4/25/2016

About the Book

Picture
Take one abrasive professional athlete, a quirky out-of-work schoolteacher, and an overweight geriatric dog, and you’re ready for a lesson in love . . . Tippy style.

Pro baseball pitcher Cal Crawford is not a dog guy. When he inherits his deceased mother’s elderly dog, Tippy, he’s quick to call on a pet-sitting service.

Gina isn’t thrilled to be a dog sitter when her aspirations lie in the classroom. Furthermore, she can’t abide the unfriendly Cal, a man with all the charm of a wet towel. But with no other prospects and a deep love for all things canine, she takes the job caring for Tippy.
​
As Gina travels through Cal’s world with Tippy in tow, she begins to see Cal in a different light. Gina longs to show Cal the God-given blessings in his life that have nothing to do with baseball or fame. When her longing blooms into attraction, Gina does her best to suppress it. But Cal is falling in love with her too…
Discover the charming story of Tippy, the dog who brought a family together.

Review

Sit, Stay, Love by Dana Mentik is a cute romance that involves a man and a woman and with a little help from a dog.  Pro baseball pitcher Cal Crawford inherits his mother’s dog, Tippy when she passes away and he is definitely not a dog guy.  So he hires Gina to take care of Tippy.  Along the way Gina befriends Tippy and Cal and a love triangle ensues.  This story is filled with ups and downs and laughs.  With great characters and a cute romance, I would recommend this novel to readers that enjoy contemporary romance with the addition of an adorable and loving dog.
