Synopses & Reviews
Fired from her job as a paralegal, Samantha Novak is in trouble. When
Telltale, a Hollywood tabloid, asks her to write an expose on the reality television dating show,
The Love Dog, Samantha is thrilled. Shes always dreamed of being a writer, and the fat paycheck wont hurt. After being recently left at the altar, shes not too keen on love either.
Hired as the canine stars handler, Samantha finds that digging up dirt on set is harder then she thought. Apollo, the shows star, is a sweet golden retriever who takes his job as the “love dog” very seriously. He only wants to help couples fall in love and make everyone on set happy. Mason Hall, the shows producer and leading man, is down to earth, charming, and... very attractive.
If Samantha doesnt reveal to the world that the reality show isnt exactly “real,” her new career will be over before it starts. But when she falls in love with Apollo and Mason, will she still have the heart to expose The Love Dogs dirty secrets?
Elsa Watson returns with another charming "tail"!
