This follows down on her luck Hazel, who is trying to put the pieces of her life back together after a divorce that left her homeless and broke. Her friends are letting her stay in their house while it sits on the market until she can find a suitable place for herself and her five foster dogs. Enter Lincoln aka Linc, the man who has purchased said house. Linc buys and renovates homes, so imagine his surprise when he finds a woman and 5 dogs occupying his latest project. Quickly realizing that he can't throw her and her pack out on the street, he offers her a place to stay. Hazel is no slouch and offers to be Linc's personal chef in exchange for a small salary and a room in the guest house until she can find a suitable place to stay. She and the pups quickly get to know Linc and they get along great. Linc is quickly enamored with Hazel, her cooking, and her dogs. They have alot in common and they both have a hard time trusting others after being burned by past relationships.

This was really cute. I loved the dogs and the love Hazel had for them. My dog is a member of our family and acts like he's king of the castle. Linc and Hazel take their time getting to know each other before romantic feelings come into play which I really appreciated. The way they meet and some of their interactions are a bit unrealistic and you have to suspend your belief about their relationship at times, but it is a rom-com so I'm willing to do that a little. Some of their conversations feel a little bit forced and repetitive, but overall they were a cute couple and eventually worked things out.

Overall, this is a cute rom-com with two unlikely people bonding over their love of good food and great dogs.

An escape into a fun-to-read rom-com is just what I needed during the busy holiday season to take me away to a world of laughter, love and entertainment. Hazel fosters dogs and is basically homeless, living in the home of a friend while she tries to get money together to pay for her own place. Enter Linc, a swoonworthy hero, who has purchased the house she is living in and agrees to let her continue to stay there while he remodels it as long as she will cook for him. What a setup for some humorous scenes since Hazel is a quirky character who has no idea that Linc is a millionaire. I loved the dogs who each have their own personality and become characters in their own right. I also enjoyed the interactions between Hazel and Linc, neither of whom knew enough about the other but both were willing to learn. This is a story filled with heart and humor that is perfect for fans of rom-coms with dogs and a lot of original twists to a clever plot. The pace is just fast enough to keep me engaged and the characters are relatable and lovable.

Quick Synopsis:
Housebroke had everything I love melded into one romance. It showcased foster pups, house renovation, inspired cooking, and a found family trope that was immediately endearing.

The quick synopsis is that the MC, Hazel, leaves her emotionally abusive ex and finds herself between homes. Hazel’s friends allow her to stay in the empty million-dollar home they’re selling and forget to inform her after they sell it to a house flipper. Luckily for Hazel, the new owner, Linc, allows her to stay in the guest house. A love connection sparks between the two as he renovates the house and she works as his personal chef.

Characters:
Ultimately, Hazel’s and Linc’s relationships with the foster dogs stole the show for me. The dogs read like an escape for me, and I adored how that backstory was woven into the plot.

Storyline/Pacing:
Housebroke is a fast-paced romance. It was predictable, as most romances are; however, the way Hazel and Linc’s romance came together felt new.

Author:
I appreciated how Jaci Burton depicted Hazel as a woman intent on becoming independent. She did a great job showing how that independence is not always inherent.

Overall:
I’m so glad I picked this one up from Jaci Burton, and I’ll be looking for more from her.
Highly recommend if you are:
-a dog-lover
-into HGTV or the Food Network
-into quick, cute romances
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars

What a fun rom com. Hazel is living in the house that Linc just purchased to flip. Throw in a house full of dogs, a meet cute, kinda forced proximity and a misrepresented identity and you have this cute romance summed up.

I loved all of the dogs in this one, especially Penny. And I really liked the humans as well. The chemistry for the two jumped off of the page and it was so evident how smitten Linc was. In addition to the sweetness, there are some steamy scenes too.

While the premise might not be the most realistic setup, I was won over by the dogs and me rooting for Hazel and Linc to admit their feelings.

In this romantic comedy, dog-saver Hazel Bristow is forced to stay with house-flipper Linc Kennedy after he purchases the house she is staying in with her multiple foster dogs. Hazel has had some bad luck of things and she's very lucky to have friends and acquaintances who agree to help her, one of those acquaintances being Linc.

Both of these characters have many reasons to not trust each other or anyone, so they have to learn to do that after being roommates. There's some insta-attraction that starts out with a friends-with-benefits arrangement that grows feelings over time. There's no new ground here, just a pleasant forced proximity acquaintances-to-lovers setup.

There's plenty of steam between Linc and Hazel and the dogs are just terrific, especially if you are a dog loving reader! I did want more from the ending, but overall, this was a pleasant romantic comedy that was an easy-read for me.

Housebroke by Jaci Burton is adorably sweet & spicy romance that is pawsitively awesome for animal lovers, specifically dog lovers.

As a dog lover, this was a delight to read & as someone that has rescue dogs, this was so relatable & made my heart overflow with the feels from all the dogs. The main character, Hazel, fosters dogs & she has 5 dogs for most of the book. I enjoyed getting to know them & their antics.

Housebroke is great for fans of…
🐶 Opposites Attract
🐶 Dog Lovers
🐶 Forced Proximity

I appreciate an easy, low angst romance & I think this delivered on that. They have some struggles, but this is enjoyable to get lost into this. It reminds me of a Hallmark story but add in spice. The scenario is a bit outrageous where it felt a bit like a movie to me. But if you are in the mood for low angst & low stress, this is a cute read!

If you are looking for a delightfully cute romance that is easy to get lost in, Housebroke is a great recommendation for you!

Massive thanks to NetGalley & Berkley Publishing for the gifted arc, which I voluntarily read & reviewed.

In this heartfelt romantic comedy, Jaci Burton introduces us to Hazel Bristow, a woman left broke and homeless after her ex took all their money and disappeared. Desperate for a place to stay, Hazel finds herself living in a house with a twist: it’s already occupied by a millionaire named Linc Kennedy and a menagerie of rescue dogs. Linc, who Hazel initially mistakes for a house flipper, agrees to let her stay while he renovates the place. Little does Hazel know that Linc is not just an investor—he’s extremely wealthy.

As Hazel and Linc navigate their unexpected living arrangement, sparks fly. Linc is drawn to Hazel’s quirky beauty and selflessness, while Hazel is intrigued by the sweet and funny man who puts everyone’s needs before his own. But trust doesn’t come easy for either of them, especially when past experiences have left them wary.

Burton weaves a delightful tale of love, trust, and second chances. The chemistry between Hazel and Linc is palpable, and the addition of rescue dogs adds warmth and humor to the story. If you’re a fan of romantic comedies with a dash of canine charm, “Housebroke” is a heartwarming read that will leave you smiling.

Jaci Burton’s new novel Housebroke is a sweet and sexy romcom that features a millionaire who likes to buy, renovate, and sell houses, and a temporarily homeless woman with five rescue dogs who ends up living with him.

Hazel is reeling from a messy divorce that has left her broke and homeless. Some friends offer to let her stay at their house for a while, with the understanding that the house is for sale. When Linc, the new owner, shows up unexpectedly, Hazel nearly clocks him with her cast iron skillet. Linc wants her out of the house immediately so he can start renovating the property, but once he hears about her desperate situation, he doesn’t want to be the guy who kicks her when she’s already down so he invites her and her dogs to stay in his guesthouse. Hazel agrees on the condition that he allows her to cook for him while she’s there.

I really enjoyed both of these characters, both individually and as a team. I loved watching the two of them bond, particularly when they were taking care of the dogs. Linc clearly being a dog guy did a lot to endear him both to Hazel and to me, and I also loved how much he clearly admired Hazel for being so independent and that he also saw all that she had to offer. It was so nice to see, especially after knowing how awful her ex had been to her.

I also enjoyed the way Linc and Hazel’s story evolved. There was also a nice blend of sexy, spicy scenes as Linc and Hazel grow closer, as well as sweeter, more domestic scenes as the two of them, plus the dogs, fall into a comfortable, family-like routine. There’s a bit of tension, as both of them try to deny their feelings for one another, but it’s pretty obvious that fighting it is a losing battle.

And let’s not forget about those dogs. From Penny the lovable golden retriever to Lillian the feisty chihuahua and Gordon the elderly pug, as well as a few others, the dogs really steal the show and were just a joy to read about. They are the glue that really brings Linc and Hazel together and I just wanted to adopt them all myself, haha!

This was my first time reading anything from Jaci Burton and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. If you’re in the mood for a charming romcom that features lovable big-hearted characters, both human and canine, be sure to check this one out!

I really enjoyed this book about a woman named Hazel, who’s a chef and dog lover, staying in her friend’s house that’s empty and up for sale. Hazel’s ex took everything in their divorce so she’s starting over. One night she hears a noise and almost brains a guy named Linc, and it turns out he’s the new owner. They agree that she can stay with her four rescue dogs she’s fostering in exchange for making meals.

Linc buys houses, fixes them up, and sells them. He’s got plans for this house, he’s going to fix it up and move on the next flip. However, as he spends time with Hazel, he falls for her and all her dogs.

I liked the way their relationship progresses, it feels very real. 4 stars.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed as in this review are completely my own.

3.5 Stars! This is a super cute romcom that will not disappoint. If you are a fan of dogs in romance books, this one’s for you!

Hazel is a foster mom for 5 doggos and dead broke. The premise surrounding her new housing situation gets a little unbelievable, but you can’t help but root for this dog mom. Linc has bought a house to flip and lets Hazel and her dog brood stay as longs as she cooks.

Linc and Hazel have great chemistry but both are mistrustful and it goes on a little too long given their proximity. I’m going to be honest, I was a little more invested in the dogs than I was the romance, but it was still a lot of fun!

Thank you to Netgalley, Jaci Burton and Berkley for an e-arc of this book. All thoughts/opinions are my own.

Read this if you enjoy:
🐶Animals, especially dogs
💑Insta love / fast paced romance
🪚House renovations

I’m an animal lover; when I see a cover with animals, it’s an immediate yes for me. Animal welfare is something I’m very passionate about so I fell in love with the idea of this book and with Jaci’s dedication in the beginning. I love that Hazel is a animal foster.

Everything to do with the dogs was an absolute win for me. The issues I had with this book came down to the romance and the initial plot of letting a stranger and her foster dogs stay in a home you’re renovating.

Housebroke is a cute romcom! It's predictable and very unrealistic but fun and light which is all I really want from a sweet romance book. The best part of the story is 100% the foster dogs; they each have their own distinct personality and feel like main characters all on their own. Hazel is a broke divorcée living in a house that her friend is selling and Linc is the *secret* millionaire who actually already bought the house and finds her and her five foster dogs squatting inside. The two cut a deal: Hazel and her dogs can stay in the house while Linc handles the renovations if she cooks for him. So the two become roomies in this forced proximity, reluctant attraction, once burned twice shy romance. Housebroke gives Hallmark movie feels without a lot of tension/conflict besides both MCs having trust issues. Overall it's a perfect choice is you're looking for a quick, easy read with some spice!

This book has:
- Dual POV
- Super Cute Foster Dogs
- Secrets
- Trust Issues
- 3rd Act Breakup

I would rate this one 3.5 stars!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book from NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Reviews have been posted to Goodreads and Instagram as of 12/13/23.

Hazel Bristow is taking a minute. She just got out of a bad marriage and is staying at a friend’s house while she figures out her next step. It wasn’t enough that her ex had broken her heart, he’d also drained their bank accounts before he left town. Now she’s taking some time to get over him. But she’s not lonely. The five foster dogs she’s working with keep her from feeling alone. She has them trained so well that they didn’t even bark when someone broke into the house.

Just seconds away from hitting the intruder with her handy cast iron skillet, Hazel is shocked to find an extremely handsome man in the kitchen. He’s shocked too, insisting that the house was his. A quick call to the friend who was letting her stay there, and Hazel finds out the truth—her friends had sold the house, and she was once again without a place to stay.

Linc Kennedy bought the house in Florida to renovate it and sell it, hopefully for a tidy profit, and had no idea anyone was living there. And when she started packing up the few items she had and the five different dogs, he realizes that she doesn’t actually have anywhere to go. He offers her the guest house, at least for the night, and she agrees, at least for the night. But when she offers to cook him dinner (she was just about to make herself something), and he finds out what a great chef she is, they come up with a new plan.

Hazel gets to stay in the guest house with the dogs, and Linc will employ her as his cook. He offers her a salary in addition to a place to stay, and Hazel figures out that she can take the salary and bank it towards a down-payment on a rental. It would help her take care of the dogs and make a plan for what’s next. But what she doesn’t realize is that what comes next just may be falling for the handsome house flipper in front of her. Especially when it turns out how great he is with the dogs she’s fostering.

But Linc has a secret. He’s just out of a bad relationship too. He thought she’d be different, but in the end, she was just another girlfriend who was with him for his millions. So he’s very careful not to mention that to Hazel, so she doesn’t try to take advantage of him. But when he starts developing feelings for all his housemates, not just the dogs, he knows he has to tell her the truth about his money. But when can he confess his secret without destroying her trust in him?

Housebroke is the latest rom com from Jaci Burton, and it’s a sweet light-hearted story with lots and lots of dog love. Just as the foster dogs have been damaged by some of their past relationships, the humans here have been damaged also, and they are all finding healing together. There are lots of steamy scenes as well, mimicking the heat and humidity of their Florida house.

Housebroke is a little bit of family warmth and a little bit of icy attraction, with the blend of heat and sweet making it the perfect blend for a winter weekend read. I especially loved all the dogs with their individual personalities and quirks and how lovable they were. That was an unexpected surprise, and it was just the balm I was needing in the middle of a stressful month. If you’re a dog lover, then you’ll want to pick this one up and read it with your best friend nearby. But if your best friend is like Penny, and likes to walk off with anything she can call a toy, then you might want to held on to the book extra-tight.

Egalleys for Housebroke were provided by Berkley through NetGalley, with many thanks.

Hazel Bristow life has taken a downward turn after her her ex-husband took all their money and left. Now Hazel is living in her friend, Ginger's empty house with her foster dogs until the house sells. When Hazel is shocked to find some guy all of sudden in the house, she quickly comes to realize that Lincoln Kennedy is the new owner of the house and Ginger forget to let her know. Linc is instantly smitten with Hazel. She thinks he's just some guy who flips houses, but in reality he is a wealthy businessman who flips houses for fun.

Linc and Hazel come to an agreement, she will cook all of his meals and in return she can stay at the house until he finishes renovating it. As these two spend more time together, their feelings start to grow and pretty soon they cross that line into something more. When the time comes that the house is finished, Linc isn't ready to let Hazel go. When he does a go big or go home gesture, everything backfires. It will take some big time groveling, but in the end Hazel and Linc get their perfect happy ending.

I just adored this opposites attract love story. Linc was the perfect, dreamy alpha. I loved how he became just as attached to all the foster dogs just like Hazel. Hazel was such a sweet person and really deserved something wonderful to happen in her life. If two people ever belonged together, it's these two.

Housebroke by Jaci Burton pairs a millionaire and a woman just trying to get by. Dogs are heavily featured in this so if that’s not something you are interested in, keep that in mind. This was a fast read, one that needs a bit of suspension of disbelief. Linc was a great character and he matched well with Hazel.

When Hazel is left broke and homeless her friend steps in to help, letting her and her foster dogs live in the house she has on the market. Somehow Hazel’s friend forgets to mention she sold the place leaving Hazel and the new owner extremely surprised. Linc and Hazel negotiate a deal letting Hazel stay while Linc renovates the house and no surprise here they fall for each other! This was a fun one! My only disappointment was I wasn’t ready for this story to be over yet!

Huge thank you to @berkleypub @berittalksbooks @thephdivabooks @dg_reads and @netgalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review

4.5 Stars!

I truly enjoyed Jaci Burton's latest book offering, Housebroke. The plot is a bit far-fetched, but I loved the main characters and the pack of foster dogs. This book is well-written with a welcome combination of emotion, delicious food and hot sexy times.

Hazel Bristow's ex-husband left her high and dry. With no money or a place to call home, she ends up living in her friend's vacant house, which is on the market. The only thing keeping her sane are the dogs she fosters. They provide tremendous comfort to her as she navigates her new future. Then one day Linc Kennedy walks into the locked house. He bought the house and Hazel's friend forgot to let her know about the sale. Needless to say, both parties are completely shell shocked when they come face-to-face.

Linc is a millionaire, thanks to his investments and the return he gets from flipping houses. He feels bad for Hazel's predicament and agrees to let her stay on in the house until he completes the renovations. He also employs her as his personal chef, since she is a terrific cook. Overtime, they get to know each other and fall into lust and love.

Hazel and Linc are an easy couple to get to know. They are likable, full of goodness and I truly felt the love evolving between them. Their respective issues regarding trust are understandable. The foster dogs are fun and entertaining. The only thing missing from this book is an epilogue, which was very disappointing.

Hazel is a proud dog mom...but there's a slight catch. As a foster dog parent, she only gets a fixed time with her furry loves before they are placed in their fur-ever homes. While this is hard for her, Hazel lost everything after an ugly divorce from her controlling husband, and the dogs keep her centered, happy, and make life that much better...so she's willing to do the hard work, even if in the end it will break her heart. She also has a unique living arrangement which is providing her temporary housing: she resides at a house that one of her good friends is going to sell, and is free to stay there until the house finds its owner.

So imagine her surprise when there's a knock at the door...and the new owner, the dashing, dreamy Lincoln "Linc" Kennedy strolls in. Of course, he is MORE than a bit confused as to why Hazel and a cadre of dogs are living in his newly-purchased home...but since he is simply planning to flip the house, he decides to let Hazel stay while renovations and upgrades take place. Hazel offers to work for Linc as a personal chef of sorts, and the two fall into a comfortable rhythm...which eventually leads to extravagant dinners out and MORE than a little bit of flirting. As feelings begin to bloom on both sides, Hazel's past relationship looms heavy in her mind and on her heart. Can she learn to trust again when there is SO much to lose? Meanwhile, Linc has been harboring a BIG secret...but is Hazel different from all of the other women in his gold-digging past? And, most importantly, WHO will end up with ALL of those dogs?!

Housebroke is one of those romances I picture sitting among so many others you might find at the grocery store or in the airport bookstore. With its cute cartoon cover and the promise of some adorable pups, I was willing to take the plunge and dive into the courtship between Hazel and Linc...and was hoping for plenty of laughs, some witty banter, and of course, a fully-fleshed out love story between two dynamic characters.

What I got instead felt more like one part Pretty Woman, one part Must Love Dogs (although that comparison is based on the title alone)...and three parts implausible, patriarchal, and underdeveloped (at best).

Hazel is not the kind of MC that is easy for me to root for, and though I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, it became quickly apparent why. She blames so much of her past on her relationship with a man who frankly sounds like he encompassed every abusive stereotype in the book, but also seems all too willing with a new man to play the 'traditional' role of subservient housekeeper....not exactly liberating by any stretch of the imagination. She even seems to REALIZE this: "You're not the boss of me. Except so far as you paying me to cook for you. Otherwise, you can kiss my ass."

What a lovely sentiment...for a job she literally OFFERED to do, unprompted.

There's also the fact that the plot itself is so implausible that it's hard to believe these two would have EVER actually ended up in the same house in this way. There are so many logistics that go into home buying, and if I bought a place for the sole purpose of house-flipping, I can't see saying someone else (AND THEIR 5 DOGS) should hang around while construction was happening. The whole thing just felt odd, and less like forced proximity than 'squatting in a home inhabited by someone you just met and then falling in love with them'.

We are also told over and over how Hazel has no money...and yet, she can afford to take care of dogs, herself, solely by working as a chef for Linc for an undisclosed amount of money. I mean, how was she planning to support herself if he didn't show up...? She has aspirations of running her own shelter AND of being a sous chef...and does absolutely nothing to get a more stable job NOT working for someone she has the hots for in order to make this dream happen.

When the book dives into Pretty Woman territory, we learn that not only does Linc just LOVE all of her dogs, but he is more than willing to go shopping with her and buy her dresses, take her out to Victoria and Albert's (which to my knowledge is a VERY high end restaurant in Disney World), and yet...at one point we find out that Hazel has somehow been 'saving up enough' to reimburse him...for everything. Which, if I read things correctly, means she was saving up Linc's money...to pay Linc back.

Color me VERY confused.

Aside from all of these financial and logistical headaches, I didn't like that the main 'drama' on Linc's side also revolved around money...and that the two of these were apparently so in insta-love that they were willing to give up all of their dreams randomly and dive headfirst into whatever sort of 'relationship' this is. There's plenty of spice, and open door spice at that...not to mention I found all of the descriptions a bit TOO involved for my personal taste. I don't mind some heat, but I would appreciate SOMETHING left to the imagination...and since I couldn't find the appeal of either of these characters, I was far from interested to see whether they stayed together or not. (I was FAR more interested in the fate of the doggos!)

There's something about this title that just rang a bit 'off' to me for a romance, and after looking up the definition of the word, I remembered why:

A housebroken pet is: "trained to defecate and urinate outdoors or in a special place indoors so that it can live in a house."

...and what could be more romantic than that?

3 stars, rounded up from 2.5

I don't know about you, but I love a good romance that throws in the mix a bunch of dogs. Who doesn't think pups adds to a story. I know I do. That's just what happens in this story. In fact, most of my tears with this book is about the dogs. Homeless puppies and kitties make me sad.

I really enjoyed Housebroke. Both Hazel (great heroine name) and Linc are wonderful characters. You really like them right away. It seems that right from the beginning these two meshed. For Hazel to find a person who can deal with the fact that she'll always has a bunch of dogs around her isn't easy. Even those who love animals might think five is a lot.

For most of this story both Linc and Hazel are the only two people in the story. Sure, you have Hazel's sister and mother thrown in a few times and also Linc's family, but I'd say only five percent of the story is with them. Most of that is phone calls. Now I'm a smalltown reader so I was afraid this would bother me, but it didn't. I felt the author did a great job of moving the story along and keeping me interested. Something I don't feel is that easy unless it's a novella.

You see a lot of growth with these two. They are able to talk with each other about their pasts and how the loss of their fathers has shaped them. As a whole they are both great and I was so happy that they were working on their HEA. Now saying that I did have an issue or two. Not very big and it might only be mine but at the end Hazel kind of bugged me.

I really don't understand why when you aren't having a very deep and meaningful relationship that someone feels that they should know you finances. Maybe that's me being older speaking but if you won't even say my girlfriends and our relationship is friends with benefits then you don't get to know how much I am worth.

Another thing that was an eye roller for me is Hazel's need to stand on her own two feet and make something of her life. She wanted to make her own money and support herself, but I didn't see that at all in this book. She's living rent free in a friend's house and has no real job. Now I'm not belittling her, all I'm saying is that I feel the author stressed too much Hazel's need to be independent but didn't really show us her doing that.

I know that might seem like a lot of issues, but it really isn't. For most of the story I was really happy and for me every good book has a character with flaws. No one is perfect. I am not finding that this is a series, but she does leave us with a few characters that are single. Who knows.

Housebroke by Jaci Burton is a cute and funny rom-com with forced proximity, strangers sharing a home, and foster dogs that is delightful. Hazel is dead broke after a failed marriage to a thieving ex, so she and her five foster dogs are staying in a friend’s home, who moved out of state until they can sell it. Linc is a millionaire who likes to personally renovate and flip homes. Linc is surprised when he gets to his new flip house and finds Hazel and her dogs squatting. After they calm down and talk, Linc hires Hazel to cook his meals in exchange for a small salary and room and board. Linc doesn’t tell Hazel his true story; worried she won’t see him for who he is, just his money. Both have been hurt and burned before and are determined not to have a relationship; except it’s becoming more difficult for them to fight the strong magnetic attraction, and sizzling chemistry they share.

Ms. Burton wrote a wonderful, thought-provoking romance that is a must read. She did an excellent job with the dogs becoming the third main character; their personalities and presence added a lot to the story. This tale is filled with sizzling chemistry, strong attraction, family dynamics, amusing banter, and caring secondary characters, as Hazel and Linc find love together. I highly recommend Housebroke me to other readers.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
