Dogs and Goddesses Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Three single women are about to learn that, when it comes to love, 

you really can teach an old dog new tricks…

Abby has just arrived in Summerville, Ohio, with her placid Newfoundland, Bowser. Shes reluctantly inherited her grandmothers coffee shop, but its not long before shes brewing up trouble in the form of magical baked goods and steaming up her life with an exasperating college professor.

“Stuart is a consummate mistress of her craft.”Romantic Times Bookreviews

And then theres Daisy, a web code writer, and her hyperactive Jack Russell, Bailey. Her tightly-wound world spins out of control when she discovers the chaos within and meets a mysterious dog trainer whose teaching style is definitely hands-on.

“Rich has a knack for creating memorable characters.”Romance Reader at Heart

Finally theres Shar, professor of ancient history at Summerville College, who wakes up one morning to find her neurotic dachshund, Wolfie, snarling at an implacable god sitting at her kitchen table, the first thing in her life she hasnt been able to footnote.

“Crusie is a master of fast-paced witty dialogue.”Seattle Times

What on earth is going on in this unearthly little town? Its up to Abby, Daisy, and Shar to find out before an ancient goddess takes over Southern Ohio, and they all end up in the apocalyptic doghouse…

Review:

"Don't be put off by the talking dogs; clever (human) dialogue and sassy heroines make this joint novel an amusing standout. After meeting at a local dog obedience-training session, coffeehouse owner Abby, Web writer Daisy and history professor Shar become fast friends. They also discover that the dog trainer is the Mesopotamian goddess Kammani, determined to rule the world like she did 4,000 years ago. Chosen as Kammani's priestesses, Abby, Daisy and Shar aren't quite ready to support the goddess's destructive goals, even when she grants them magical powers including the ability to understand their dogs. Established authors Crusie (Charlie All Night), Stuart (Fire and Ice) and Rich (Wish You Were Here) turn this quirky charmer into an enjoyable paranormal romp that's definitely not just for dog lovers." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
