Synopsis:

As Gina travels through Cal's world with Tippy in tow, she begins to see Cal in a different light.

What did I think of this book:
This was a cute funny romance book. I loved the Tippy he was the best dog a story could ask for. With all of his antics and stealing things like a crazy dog does, he had me laughing out loud. Now don't get me wrong I liked the humans in the story as well. Another thing I liked was the sports theme since Cal was a baseball player. Two of my favorite things sports and pets then throw in a little romance a good combination for a story that will keep you turning the pages quickly. At times I found myself getting upset with Cal and feeling bad for Gina but then I kind of understood Cal at the same time. His life is not a normal one. It was nice to watch as Gina and Cal became closer as the story went along. I will definately be watching for the next one in this series.
