Synopsis

"A charming story that dog lovers and romance fans will enjoy."--Publishers Weekly

When their friends take a cruise to Bermuda, strangers Hint Daniels and Jack Whitby are charged with looking after their dog. Then everything starts to go wrong . . .

In the leafy New York suburb of Bronxville, Hint is supposed to hand Percy off to Jack on day five of the ten days their friends are away. But at the handoff, the dog ends up running away. Neither is willing to tell their friends the bad news that Percy is missing. Instead, they spend five frantic days desperately searching for the Schnoodle, with wildly different ideas on how to go about it. Between Jack's heavy-handed approach and Hint's otherworldly style, their personalities clash. Before long they're bickering furiously, even as romantic sparks fly.

Will Percy show up before his owners do? And what surprising discovery will Hint and Jack make while looking for him?

About this title

Review

"Hint Daniels, a children's book illustrator, has been dog-sitting her friends' dog, Percy, for five days. She has an important appointment with a big publisher, so she's supposed to turn Percy over to clueless but well-meaning Jack Whitby--who immediately loses the dog due to a leash malfunction. As Percy appears to intentionally elude them in hopes of kindling romance between them, the ensuing search takes them from New York's suburbs to the city and back again, unfolding with just the right balance of human friction, mental anguish, danger to life and limb, and, of course, romantic tension. Hint and Jack blossom into fully relatable individuals who may be in search of a lost dog but find a whole lot more. This is a charming story that dog lovers and romance fans will enjoy." -- Publishers Weekly (May 11, 2018)
