So I liked this one quite a bit. This group of friend in Bluff Point, Maine are starting to feel like old friends already. I was pulled into this romance from the very start and enjoyed it until the very end. This book had the perfect combination of cute animals, darling kids, and a couple destined to be together.

Every once in a while I like to take a break from mysteries and enjoy a little romance. Thanks to Jenn McKinlay, last few months I have fallen in love with the residents of Bluff Point, Maine. This third book in the series is the story of Zach Caine, local brewery owner, and his neighbor, Jessie Connelly. He doesn’t do commitment and she is getting over a rocky divorce.

Coffee dates with Every Dog Has His Day
First Date: Zachary Caine and Jessie Connelly briefly met at the vets where she gave him the "what for." So I was excited to see their romance unfold. It turns out the two are neighbors and thanks to a kitten named Chaos things are about to get interesting. McKinley had me grinning during the first scene as she set the story up. I knew I was in for a treat and settled down with a second cup of coffee.

Every Dog Has His Day is one of those stories that hit every aspect of a perfect contemporary romance. It is humorous, witty, well written, and romantic. This is the third story in the romantic comedy Bluff Point series and is a great addition to the others and it tugged a bit on the heartstrings of this reader.
Zach Caine runs a brewery with his close friends and is a commitment-phobic bachelor. He compartmentalizes his relationships with women in certain categories and Jessie somehow doesn’t fi ...more

The Bluff Point series is quickly turning into a must read for me. It's been so fun reading about all these quirky characters and the bonds they all share as a core group. This time we got a very interesting pairing of characters. Jessie is actually someone most would originally hate on a first impression. She actually stole one of the previous MC's groom on their wedding day. Yup, Jessie helped the groom make a mad dash at his own wedding and then turned around and married him herself. So, righ

This is a great series about members of the "Maine Crew" living in Bluff Point, Maine. Each book is the romance of a different character, so it is not necessary to read the other books to enjoy this one. This book finds Zach, the playboy of the group, falling for his neighbour Jessie and her two little girls. The story does not go smoothly, as there are roadblocks in the way both emotionally and from Jessie's ex-father-in-law. We do meet Jessie in the last book where she makes it very clear she

I lovely romance that will definitely tug at your heart strings. We are introduced to Zachary who owns a brewery and doesn't have the word commitment in his vocabulary. Then there is Jessie, a mother of two, who is deeply committed to being the best mother that she can be. Zachary and Jessie are neighbors but have never met. When a kitten named Chaos and two little girls decide to have an adventure the two are thrown together. Both are a bit unsure of the other and opinions begin to form. Jessie

I actually ended up reading this book twice because I didn’t write my review for it when I finished the first time. I went back to refresh my memory to write one and instead I found myself sucked back in to reading it all over again.
Maddie, Gracie and Zach truly stole the show in this book. Two adorable girls and a really, really nice guy who might just be a little misunderstood equals all of the swoons. I loved reading how Zach interacted with the girls like he himself was a kid but at the same ...more

Loved this beautifully written and told romance story of new love for two lonely people. This has a wonderful romantic feel but also gives you gooey and sensual moments. The flow is perfect and I simply could not put this book down – LOVED IT!

I liked this. I wasn't sure if I would like the heroine given her past actions, but she was really nice and someone who had really been done a number on by her neglectful parents and her cheating husband who drained her confidence. But now she has rebuilt herself, trying to raise her two adorable daughters by herself, the hero is her neighbour and someone who keeps things casual with women. But somehow he gets pulled into the life of her kids. This book was super sweet but I enjoyed it since I w

Every Dog Has His Day was a sweet romance with a great cast of characters and a few adorable animal companions.
Zachary Caine was enjoying his bachelor life just fine when a kitten named Chaos throws his life into, well, chaos. After Zach rescues the neighbor's kitten from his roof, he finds his life slowly becoming intertwined with the girl next door and her daughters. After the pain her ex-husband put her through, Jessie Connelly has no time for men as she's focusing all of her energy ...more

Living life as a bachelor has its ups and downs. Never answering for your actions is a blessing to Zachary Caine. As an owner of the local brewery, Zachary has his fair share of women strolling in and out of his door. None able to snag more that a fleeting moment of Zachary’s time. Until a little Chaos came strolling into Zachary’s life.

Every Dog Has His Day is Jenn McKinlay’s final offering in the Bluff Point series. For fans, you’ll be happy to hear that the previous pairs play a prominent role in their friend, Zach’s, story. For people starting here...I think the constant appearances could be very annoying. In fact, it could have been enough to turn me off from the story entirely if I didn’t have history with these characters.

"Yeoooow!"
A stranded kitten wakens Zach Caine and introduces him to his neighbor's adorable daughters, Maddie and Gracie. A rescue mission gone awry puts neighbor Jessie into his life as well.
This is the third book in the Bluff Point series and my favorite so far. I didn't thing Jenn McKinlay could top the foul mouthed parrot from the last book, but the little girls absolutely do! I really enjoyed the pace of the book. I liked that Zach and Jessie didn't have "insta-love" and fall immediately in ...more

I am absolutely determined to listen to more audiobooks this year than I did last year. So, to start off the year right, I decided to listen to Every Dog Has His Day by Jenn McKlinay. I had heard good things about it, and it was available through my library's hoopla site. Every Dog Had His Day was cute and I enjoyed it, but it's not going to stick with me, either.

EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY is the third book in Jenn McKinlay’s Bluff Point series. This book is definitely my favorite book in the series. While I had some slight issues with the first two books, I really felt like McKinlay found her groove with this one. Still very much lighthearted, I think I was finally in the right mindset to enjoy this book.

I fell in love Jenn McKinlay’s books years ago. There’s something so sweet about her stories, I can’t stay away. Every Dog Has His Day is the third book in her Bluff Point series, but can be read as a standalone without any issue. It brings together Zach, a local brewery owner that has a commitment phobia, and Jessie, his divorced neighbor with two kids.

This book first got my attention because of its cover. Then I saw it was a single parent and small town romance and knew I had to read it. Well it didn’t disappoint! I loved everything about it and for those that like the small town romance, single parent books with some pets mixed into it, this one is for you! There was some drama that didn’t fail to make this interesting and all in all, it was a great read and you just can’t help but fall for all these characters.
