Review courtesy of Romance Junkies
Scout Myers works at her friend’s talent agency dedicated
strictly to animals. She wants to prove she is responsible enough to care for
her sister. An unfortunate accident at work almost destroys Scout’s chance at a
promotion. She needs to find a temporary doggy replacement and fast. However,
the only replacement who resembles her client belongs to Scout’s estranged
husband. Scout knows she needs to confront their unsettled past if she wants to
succeed. Can she win guardianship of her teenage sister? Or will Scout’s
insecurities set her up to fail.
Lane Halliday is a tech entrepreneur, who runs a
successful multimillion-dollar company. He has dedicated his entire being to
work. Lane receives a shock when his estranged wife knocks on his door, asking
to borrow his dog Star. Scout’s return brings a slew of problems and
bittersweet memories. Lane reluctantly agrees to her request but with
restrictions. Being around Scout again reawakens his old feelings for her. Can
Lane and Scout settle their differences for a possibility at a second chance?
Or will he proceed with the divorce proceedings.
Scout is such a relatable heroine. She is a woman with
self-confidence issues and insecurities. I admire Scout’s steadfast
determination to better herself. She never had much positive influences growing
up, except for her best friend Isla. Scout owns up to the many mistakes that
she has made over the years. What I adore the most about Scout is her sense of
selflessness. Her life may be a mess, but that does not stop her from helping
people, especially strangers.
Lane has this hot nerd vibe. He is neither alpha or beta,
which makes him such a nice change of pace. Lane is a man who likes to adhere
to rules and responsibilities. I like how Lane never allowed money or success to
go to his head. He remains humble, willingly helping those who are important to
him. What I adore the most about Lane is how he openly accepts Scout. She may
be his opposite, but he never once considered changing her. Lane likes how she
balances his perfectionist nature.
PETS OF PARK AVENUE is the second book in Stefanie
London’s dog-oriented contemporary series, PAWS IN THE CITY. This story can
easily stand alone. There is no ongoing, intricate back plot. I do recommend
reading the previous book to understand the bond Scout shares with her friend Isla.
Isla, the heroine from THE DACHSHUND WEARS PRADA, plays a great supporting role
throughout this book. It is disappointing that Theo and Camilla did not play a
more vital part. They are merely mentioned. However, it is great to witness
that continual happily-ever-after.
PETS OF PARK AVENUE is a sweet yet positive tale that
proves it is never too late for second chances. I sincerely hope the author
writes a story for August! She deserves a happily-ever-after. I cannot wait for
the next installment.
