    About this audiobook

    In the second Bluff Point romance, Carly DeCusati returns home with her tail between her legs, but she's determined to get her life back on track-which means finding homes for the elderly golden retriever and the overly talkative parrot she inherited before her old life fell apart. But then physical therapist and hot one-night stand James Sinclair enters her life. He doesn't care that Carly isn't interested in a relationship. He's determined to win her heart, promising to help her with the pets if she'll just give him the time of day. So Carly agrees to date the irresistible James, and, for the first time in years, she begins dreaming of happily ever after. But James has secrets, and if he can't open up to Carly, their future could go to the dogs...

      Carly, Mac, Emma and Jillian are best friends who grew up in Bluff Point. Emma is now married, and Mac is very happy with Gavin. This book it is Carly's turn to find romance. Jenn McKinlay has turned the tables on the typical story of the man wanting the one night stand and being commitment phobic, as it is Carly that is afraid to see a man after the first encounter. Carly doesn't do relationships. She was been burned in the past and does not ever want to feel that way again. James, on the other hand, is the total opposite. He fell in love with Carly eleven years ago when he briefly met her and never forgot her. When she picks him up at the local bar, he can't believe his luck. He wants her, not for a one night stand but for good. Unfortunately, it is going to take a lot of wooing and persuasion to get her to change her mind. Can these two make it work even though both have different plans for their future? Will Carly's fear of commitment ruin their chance for a future together?

      The characters in this book are wonderful. I love how the friends are there for each other, through thick and thin. They spend a lot of time together and when they think Carly and James are a good match, you know they are going to do what they need to, in order to help James get through to Carly. The humour in the story is from the pets, specifically Ike, the filthy mouthed parrot that Carly inherited from her neighbour in New York. He was hilarious and often came out with one liners at just the right moment. He could actually imitate Carly's voice when she was in the throes of passion with James.

      This book is funny, romantic, sweet, humorous making it fun to read. I can't wait for the series to continue so I can see what is in store for Jillian and Zach. I recommend this series to romance lovers and pet lovers. Although there are some sex scenes, they are not too heavy or erotic. You do not have to have read Bluff Point #1, About a Dog, to enjoy this series, but I recommend you read it because it is also a good story.
    • 4/5
      I really enjoyed this romance. I had such a good time with the first book in this series, About a Dog, when I read it earlier this year so it was a given that I would want to read more of the series. I will admit that I was a little surprised when I saw this book was about Carly and an unknown character named James. I had kind of thought that we would see Carly and Zach end up together but it looks like they are truly just friends. I was quickly won over by James and ended up really enjoying watching him win Carly over.The characters in this book are great. Carly is just full of life. She had to come back home to her parents' home after losing her job. She doesn't come alone. She has just inherited a senior dog and a bird with a colorful vocabulary. Carly doesn't do relationships. One night stands are fine but that is where she wants things to end. I liked Carly from the start and loved watching her try to figure out where she wants her life to go.James was nearly perfect. He was kind, funny, and easy on the eyes. He wants more than the one night stand Carly is offering. He quickly shows that he will do what is needed in order to keep Carly near him so he can convince her to give a relationship a try. I loved James from the start of the book and fell a little bit more in love with him with each page. Carly and James made a great couple. They had some amazing chemistry and I really enjoyed their banter. There really were just as many comical moments in this book as tender ones. There was a point in the book that Carly seriously overreacted which kind of annoyed me. James made a rather boneheaded statement which annoyed me fairly equally. I did really enjoy the book so I guess all is forgiven.I would recommend this book to others. This is the second book in the Bluff Point series but could easily be read as a stand alone. I thought that this was a great romance filled with wonderful characters including 2 awesome dogs and a talkative bird. I am really excited to start reading the next book in the series.I received an advance reader edition of this book from Berkley Publishing Group via NetGalley.
