Sleeping with Dogs and Other Lovers by Julia Dumont Book Review

Reading is a great way to relax and go off into another world, if only for a short while. I think that is why I love to read so much. I get to forget about the everyday and have a great time enjoying a story that usually has a happy ending. Romance novels are a lot of fun and today I have a new one for you that is definably a fun and quirky read that you will enjoy. The novel is Sleeping with Dogs and Other Lovers by Julia Dumont. Here is some info for you.

LOS ANGELES — Romance novels are heating up this summer and new to the list Sleeping with Dogs and Other Lovers is no exception. This is the first novel in the new SECOND ACTS contemporary romance series from BroadLit, a transmedia company solely dedicated to romance. The novel is gaining attention from book lovers and critics alike. So much so that the book is now available in paperback for those who prefer turning the pages.

Sleeping with Dogs and Other Lovers, written by Julia Dumont, features an unlikely heroine, Cynthia Amas, who has her hands full. In the middle of launching a boutique match-making service called Second Acts and amid the sun, surf, and celebrities of Southern California, her own romantic life gets a whole lot more complicated . . . and steamy. Before long, Cynthia’s personal, professional, and amorous lives begin crashing hilariously into one another. Join Cynthia as she begins her own “Second Act” and find out who accidentally slips into bed with whom, who has a penchant for low-cut lederhosen, and who winds up naked on a beautiful beach in Malibu!

My Thoughts:
Sleeping with Dogs and Other Lovers is a very humorous book. It is a very light-hearted read and I was able to zip right through it. Sometimes that is not good, but in this instance, it was due to the fact I wanted to get to the next page. The main character, Cynthia, is a very frazzled woman that is starting a new online match making service, by herself. Just thinking about that makes me tired. On top of that her old lover shows up with offers she cannot deny and her mother is a tad, shall we say, crazy! Mom tries continually to set her up with the next most eligible bachelor and Cynthia tries to ignore her while juggling her own crazy life, clients, phones, dogs and so much more. The results are a funny and fresh look at today’s woman!

I had an easy time appreciating Cynthia’s story and her juggling act of men, dating, friends and life in general. The author let Cynthia have a great time and she thoroughly enjoys her life and it shows. I love the style in which this book is written and while there is lots of romance, it is a comical view that you will enjoy. It is a refreshing look at a woman not unlike you and me! Cynthia just gets to have more fun than I do. haha

This is a quick and easy read and great for a weekend where you just want to veg out! Swing by and check it out next time you are looking for some humor and romance.
