A lovely and light hearted romantic story with a cute meet and sweet canine friends too. I spent the entire book wanting to conspire with the main characters friends and family to push them together but we all know true romance takes a few bumps and stumbles before the main characters make it to the end in love. Very cute!

This was a sweet book, and an easy summer read. I did find the characters a bit one-dimensional and overly dramatic. I found them a bit difficult to relate to, and didn’t love that liking baseball and owning a Dalmatian we’re the hallmarks of their personalities. Nonetheless, it was cute and quick to finish, and I would recommend as a beach read!

Honestly, I had to force myself to finish A Spot of Trouble.
I love a good series and was hopeful when I learned that this was the first in a new series by this local-to-me author, but the silly and insipid storyline just didn't do it for me.

Rating: 1.5 stars

I was hoping to really like this one as the cover is adorable. Who doesn’t love animals on a book cover? The unfortunate part is that this book didn’t have a lot of redeeming qualities besides that cover.

From the beginning we are introduced to both Violet and Sam. It’s a very awkward and public encounter that brings in the police. I’m not going to lie, I never liked Violet. She was rude, stubborn, and just was overly dramatic. I really couldn’t stand her even after I was halfway through the book. As for Sam, he was okay. There wasn’t anything that stuck out about him besides how dumb he was at one point but that will be mentioned in the spoilers.

Since this is supposed to be a romance I figured their bantering and bickering would die down so that there could be development but even by 50% there wasn’t anything happening besides a kiss here and there. Even after that they went back to the bickering. There wasn’t ever any solid development when it came to their relationship. It was rushed and it was overall just not one that I liked reading about.

Spoilers / Spoilers / Spoilers
One plot twist that involved Sam and Violet was their dogs were switched. How do you not realize it when they have different personalities? It took them a week and a half to figure it out. They both love their dogs so much and literally the book is filled with the dogs and how the town has only had one Dalmatian forever and even if they are similar looking I just don’t believe that this would happen.

End of Spoilers
The book is filled with the dogs and most of the time I would be okay with this but it just became repetitive especially at the beginning with everyone believing Sam had kidnapped the dog. The town was just weird with their antics when it came to everything.

Overall, this wasn’t for me. I can’t say I enjoyed anything about it which is a real shame.

This was a really cute, romance comedy!
I loved the story that was being told! Two Dalmatian owners who constantly butt heads, but soon realize that sometimes love isn’t black and white!

This new series is going to be amazing and I look forward to reading more!
I've never read a Teri book!. And this one was a good one!
The romance between these two is awesome
The writing was just fabulous!
I just loved everything about this book!

Thank you NetGalley and aka my favorite publisher Sourcebooks Casablanca for this cute advanced ebook!

Fans of a good beachy, summertime rom-com read and dogs unite! This heart-warming novel about a petty feud between Turtle Beach’s illustrious Violet March and newcomer fire marshal Sam Nash gave me “all the feels”. What started out as a rom-com like any other took on a fresh and fun twist with the addition of the nemesis’ two Dalmatians, Sprinkles and Cinder, who though night and day different took to one another just as our main characters did. I devoured this book in 3 days and loved it. The mark of a good book is one where you can picture the characters in your mind, and form a vested interest in the outcome of their story. This book had me doing just that. A must-read!
