WoW: Pardon my Frenchie by Farah Rochon

This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!

The New York Times  bestselling author of  Almost There  delivers the start of a new rom-com series with an enemies-to-lovers romance, perfect for readers of Abby Jimenez and Jasmine Guillory.

Ashanti Wright is ecstatic over the success of her dog boarding business, Barkingham Palace. In fact, it has become so successful that Ashanti has plans to expand her empire with a doggie bake shop. There’s just one problem, the building she’s had her eye on has just been sold to the surly grandson of one of her favorite customers. 

Thaddeus Sims is not a dog person. He’s barely a person’s person. But when his grandmother is transferred to a senior living facility that doesn’t accept pets, the former army officer agrees to care for her annoying Standard Poodle, Puddin’. After all, it was with his grandmother’s help that Thad was able to buy the building that will soon house The PX, a sports bar/all-around hangout space for former servicemen that he plans to open.

Puddin’ and Ashanti’s French Bulldog, Duchess, have become a bit of a sensation on Barkingham Palace’s livestream because of their budding romance. When a video of the dogs sharing a doggy treat Lady and the Tramp-style goes viral, their owners are sucked into a media frenzy that captures the nation by storm…and creates some sparks for their owners too.

Why I’m Waiting: I know most bookish people are cat people, but I am a huge puppy person. We currently have two and I’m still asking my hubs can we get another puppy. (Yes I’m crazy, leave me alone lol) So naturally, as soon as I saw a book about Frenchies by an author I’ve read and loved before AND saw that it was more Black romance by her AND that it has a social media aspect that I love, well it didn’t take much convincing lol I knew I was going to need this in my hands. I can’t wait to read this. Hopefully I can do so while holding a new doggie in my lap lol

What about you? Do you like doggies? Have you read Rochon before? Let me know in the comments!

  1. Cute pick! I’m more of a dog person myself too. I kind of wish there was more puppy love/book love things as it always ends up being cats and books. I have a Disney Twisted Tale by this author on my TBR that I keep meaning to read! This sounds like a cute read and I hope you positively love it once you get to read it! (And if you do get that puppy I want to see pics!)

    Have a GREAT day!
