Rating: 3 out of 5

My rating is 3.5 stars...A very cute romance story about a single mom, her two sons, and her elderly father and their dog Arnold moving to a new neighborhood looking to start over.  However, Arnold immediately finds a way to escape the backyard promptly causing trouble with Leah and her neighbor Shane O'Grady, the town's widowed doctor and mayor.  Arnold takes a liking to Shane's pure breed dog Princess and the chaos begins!  As Leah tries to get her family comfortably moved into the small town, she is constantly dealing with disasters that her father, her dog, and her sons create while trying to avoid Shane and their physical attraction.  And on top of these dilemmas, her next door neighbor is very nosy and determined to get Leah and her family kicked out of the small town of Shady Oaks.  This short story didn't make me laugh but it was cute to see how much trouble Leah's dog and family could create in such a short time.  I was uncomfortable with the kissing scenes between Leah and Shane, their romance was way too physical for my liking.  However, it was interesting seeing how they dealt with issues and worked things out.  A cute and entertaining read especially for dog lovers!  I look forward to reading more of Daley's books :)
