Rescue My Heart - Book Beginnings on Friday and The Friday 56

Some of the most delightful books I've read lately have featured dogs in their plots, including RESCUE MY HEART by Jean C. Joachim. As you can guess from the cover, her story features an adorable pug. His name is Baxter, he's a rescue dog, and he plays an important part in this story. 

With New York City as the setting and a hunky, bicycle-riding veterinarian as the hero, this first book in the "Manhattan Dinner Club" series is a great read. Ms. Joachim's sense of humor adds an extra element, too. The insulting nicknames she comes up with for the veterinarian's ultra-skinny girlfriend will keep you chuckling throughout the book.  

Book Beginning:
It came at her suddenly, out of nowhere. Rory Sampson leapt out of the way of the speeding bike and onto the grass, yanking her pug, Baxter, with her.

Friday 56 (from 56% on my Kindle):
I wish I could put the pillow over my head, take it off, and have it be May, have Alfred well, and Miss Cardboard shipped off to Alaska. Time to face reality. Rory picked up the phone.
(FYI: Miss Cardboard is one of those insults I mentioned. *Giggle*)
