Product Description

Keenan James has made a career out of teaching women what men really want. He hosts a weekly roundtable, where he offers advice to the love-lorn, and now he's even been tapped to write a book—though he's never been able to commit to just one girl. Unfortunately, he's recently been saddled with his mom's irrepressible pooch, a golden doodle named Barbra Streisand, and his publisher has saddled him with a co-writer—a shy psychologist named Tory Hoffstra, who's determined to keep him on a short leash.

Suspecting that Keenan's nothing but a hound, Tory joins the round-table under an alias. She's shocked that he's more than just a smooth-talking seducer . . . and that he's even more gorgeous than she had heard. As for Keenan, before long he finds himself warming up to Barbra the dog and feeling the heat with Tory . . . and learning that not even his own advice could have prepared him for finally falling in love.

About the Author

Elaine Fox has spent enough of her life dating to know that the scenarios described in this book are completely plausible -- though she disclaims any direct experience with any of them. Fortunately, however, she has been able to parlay this extended search for romance into a career and hopes her readers appreciate the cathartic experience while living happily-ever-after lives themselves. Elaine currently lives in Virginia.

4.0 out of 5 stars Romance, doggy style, January 3, 2008
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
When called to the office of a publisher, Dr. Tory Hoffstra thinks that this might be the break she was hoping for - to publish her case studies. But instead, she learns that they want her to co-write a book with a charismatic TV writer turned pop-psychologist who she slammed in an article in a highbrow psych magazine. She decides the only way to insure he isn't just a charlatan is to go incognito to one of his round table discussions, so its off to Sak's for a makeover. Keenan James doesn't know what hit him when the new gal in his lunch group takes an antagonistic stance against his theories (think "He's Just Not that Into You"). He assumes she's a plant when she starts citing case studies and doesn't realize they've already met when he moved into his new building and she was accosted by his labradoodle, Barbra Streisand. He also doesn't understand his attraction to the hot head. When he learns of her deception and the two start to work in the book, their pent up attraction explodes. Can they be co-authors with benefits?

Elaine Fox is known for her romantic comedies featuring quirky four-legged characters who manage to steal the show. Secondary characters include Keenan's brother Brady, who was had his own canine to contend with in the hysterical "Beware of Doug" and Alicia, a lesbian who attends the roundtables but has a secret of her own. It's a cute and funny romantic comedy that will have readers giggling at everyone's antics, despite the trite use of a makeover to "hide" her identity. And a small nitpick - the cover features the wrong dog breed - it's a poodle instead of a 60 pound labradoodle.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book!, March 2, 2010
By 
I wasn't sure I was going to like this book since it has one of those much-used romance plot lines, the "big deception." In fact, I stopped the book after about 10 pages because I didn't want to read another book where one main character starts the relationship incognito. But I picked the book back up yesterday and I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed the interaction of the two main characters, and I like how Ms. Fox handled the deception. Keenan and Tory are complex characters and likable people. Also, I enjoyed the back-and-forth discussion about relationships and how men and women think. I found myself wishing I could sit in and talk about these issues more. It was fascinating. I've now read all the Guys&Dogs books and will seek out Elaine Fox's backlist.
