Every Dog Has His Day

Starred review from December 1, 2017
If there is one thing Zach Caine knows it's women. So far, Zach has been able to successfully sort all of the females in his life into four distinct categories: family, friends, employees, and potential casual hookups. However, when Zach bumps into Jessie Connelly after rescuing her daughters' kitten from his roof, he is puzzled by his reaction to her. Much to his surprise, Zach seems to be seriously smitten with Jessie. Unfortunately, having endured her share of players (including her deadbeat ex-husband), Jessie wants nothing to do with Zach. The deliciously sharp wit and flair for perfect comic timing that are part and parcel of McKinlay's literary DNA are present in full force in Every Dog Has His Day, the third superbly satisfying addition to her Bluff Point series, following About a Dog and Barking Up the Wrong Tree (both 2017). Put that together with the book's engagingly quirky cast of characters, a completely charming small-town setting, and a couple of four-footed characters who significantly up the adorable ante, and you have a contemporary romance that is practically perfect in every way.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
