This is a really good paranormal romance with comedy thrown in. This short story introduces us to a loving pet groomer who is looking for love and loyalty, but she's more comfortable talking to dogs, and a cursed knight who would give anything to be human again. I really liked that it had me laughing out loud quite often, and I am looking forward to see what other stories Christy has written.Yves has not been in human form for nine hundred years, all because of the witch who changed him into a dog due to a misunderstanding. He has been searching all these years for a way to break the curse with no luck. When he thinks he'll never find the help he needs a beautiful woman stops to talk to him, and when she takes him with her he wonders if this is his chance to be a man again after all these years.Regina is on her way back to work when she walks by him in the park and stops to talk to him. The love she has for animals will not let her walk away so she takes the dog to her pet salon and treats him to food and a bath. When she realizes there is nowhere to take him for the night she decides to take him home never expecting that her life will be forever changed. On the way home he pulls her into the park where he digs up a collar that he's buried and barks long enough to get her agreement to put it around his neck. But Regina never expected to see a man standing there when she looked up. This gorgeous, naked man who has the same eyes as the dog, that is no longer there, but she still cannot believe what she's seeing.Yves tries to explain what happened to him in hopes she'll believe him, at least enough of his story that she will agree to help him break the curse. Even though Regina knows she shouldn't, she doesn't have the heart to tell him no, so she agrees to help him figure out how to break it and they will try to break it within two weeks. Since Yves is staying with her and she's buying whatever he needs he decided that the one thing he can do to repay the debt to Regina is by helping her with the duties in the salon. The time they spend together is causing them to really care for one another. If only these feelings were enough to break the curse everything would work out perfectly. Is there anything that will break the curse so they can be together?I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
