About this audiobook

Bluff Point brewery owner Zachary Caine enjoys his wild bachelor lifestyle-that is, until he rescues a kitten from his roof and meets his new neighbors. Single mother Jessie Connelly isn't his type at all, but when a blizzard traps Zachary, Jessie, and her daughters together, he learns that behind her reserved demeanor is a charming, beautiful woman.

Jessie's wary of falling for a man like Zach. He's sexy and charismatic, but after her relationship with her ex, she's only interested in commitment. But Zach is determined to win over Jessie, her daughters, and even Chaos the kitten, so soon Jessie believes that her bad boy may actually be a good man.

But then just when it seems like Zach and Jessie have found their forever home together, secrets from the past put both of their hearts in need of rescue...

    This is a great series about members of the "Maine Crew" living in Bluff Point, Maine. Each book is the romance of a different character, so it is not necessary to read the other books to enjoy this one. This book finds Zach, the playboy of the group, falling for his neighbour Jessie and her two little girls. The story does not go smoothly, as there are roadblocks in the way both emotionally and from Jessie's ex-father-in-law. We do meet Jessie in the last book where she makes it very clear she wants nothing to do with her playboy neighbour, but when they meet up under different circumstances, things change. Zach is more of a father to her children than their real father and the promise he makes to her has the rest of the crew making bets with one another.

    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 Jessie and Zach are a good match, you know they are going to do what they need to, in order to help them get together. Once again it is the pets that help bring them together as well as adding some fun to the story.

    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, at least I hope it is not finished. I recommend this series to romance lovers and pet lovers. Although there are some sex scenes, they are not too heavy or erotic. As I said above, you do not have to have read the other Bluff Point books to enjoy this series, but I recommend you read them because it is good series.

    So I liked this one quite a bit. This group of friend in Bluff Point, Maine are starting to feel like old friends already. I was pulled into this romance from the very start and enjoyed it until the very end. This book had the perfect combination of cute animals, darling kids, and a couple destined to be together. Zach doesn't know what to expect when he finds two adorable little girls at his door. They need his help because their kitten, Chaos, is currently sitting on the roof of Zach's house. Being the nice guy he is, he jumps into help right away saving the kitten and landing in a big pile of snow. I thought the set up of this story was great but things got even better when Zach decided to make sure his neighbor and her two girls are okay during the blizzard that hit the area.I thought the characters in this book were wonderful. At the start of the series, Jessie seemed like the bad guy but things have changed as the series has progressed. Once I got the chance to spend a few moments in her head during this story, I completely changed my opinion of her. She really is a great character and has had a lot of things in her life go horribly wrong. Zach was such a good guy. He really was perfect with Jessie's girls and worked hard to be what they needed him to be. I loved Zach and Jessie as a couple. They had so much fun together from the very start and the chemistry between them was amazing. Zach's relationship with both of her girls was equally well done. I really liked how both Jessie and Zach keep their focus on the girls and their best interest. It really did feel like this group of people belonged with each other. It was really refreshing to see the kids play such an important role in the book but don't worry there are plenty of steamy moments to balance everything out.The book was really good but I did have couple of issues. I thought that some of the interactions with the larger group were a bit immature. I thought it was rather odd that a grown woman would go into another room during a situation to ask her friends for advice in a group chat. This group of friends didn't hesitate to share some pretty personal details. I kept thinking that if Zach and Jessie would just be that open with each other it would solve a lot of problems. The other issue I had concerned a situation with the girls' grandfather. He was really a difficult man and I thought that his complete change of heart seemed a bit unrealistic. These were really very minor issues that didn't lessen my enjoyment of the book.I would highly recommend this book to fans of contemporary romance. This is the third book in the series but it could easily be read as a stand alone. Readers of the series will enjoy spending time with characters featured in the earlier books. I can't wait to read more from this talented author very soon.I received an advanced reader edition of this book from Berkley Publishing Group via NetGalley.

    Jessie and Zach are neighbors. Jessie is a single mother of two little girls, Maddie and Gracie. Zach likes his bachelor lifestyle and is perfectly happy with the company of his dog Rufus. When Maddie and Gracie ask Zach to help them with their foster kitten Chaos he's being welcomed into their lives and discovers he loves spending time with the two girls and their mother and likes being part of a family. Is this the start of something beautiful?

    It's cold and snowstorms are making it necessary for people to help each other out. Jessie and Zach need each other to survive the extreme winter weather. This means they have the chance to spend a lot of time together. Jessie isn't looking for love after being with a man who made her and her daughters miserable, but Zach slowly melts her heart. He's great with the girls and kind to animals. Will Zach be able to convince Jessie to give him a chance?

    Every Dog Has His Day is a wonderful romantic story. Zach and Jessie are both good and gentle people and it's clear from the start that they belong together. I loved their connection straight away. There are plenty of sparks and there's a friendship on a deeper level, which is a combination I'm a big fan of. I couldn't wait to find out if they'd have a chance together. Zach is a wonderful person and he's a natural with Jessie's cheeky girls. Maddie and Gracie are adorable and I had fun reading about their adventures. Jenn McKinlay writes about them in an endearing believable way that made my heart melt. I love stories about families and this is definitely a precious one.

    Every Dog Has His Day is a story about people and animals. I love the loving and thorough way Jenn McKinlay describes all of her main characters and reading about Rufus and Chaos put a big smile on my face. I also liked the setting very much, two houses in the snow, it doesn't get any cosier than that. The choice of cold weather is perfect for the romance that unfolds, it really suits the story. I was immediately captivated by Every Dog Has His Day. It's charming, entertaining and cute. I absolutely loved this amazing book.

    This romance has some depth to it; there are some actual issues to resolve. Yes, you can guess that romance will blossom between next door neighbors, even if you aren’t quite sure of the path it will take. But there are other problems involved. Jessie, divorced from an absent ex-husband, must still deal with his aggressive and domineering father, the judge. Jessie must cope with raising two daughters on her own but with interference from her father-in-law and without any support. Enter Zach, confirmed bachelor, whose heart is first taken by two little girls and their kitten, and then by their mother. Though part of a series, the novel can be considered to be a stand-alone. The plot is intriguing and the characters are interesting, and the result is an entertaining tale.

    Every Dog Has His Day by Jenn McKinlay is an endearing, humor-filled romance with likable characters and adorable pets and children. This latest addition to the Bluff Point series can be read as a standalone.

    Zach Caine is a thirty-four year old mischievous, fun loving guy who is well known for his happy go lucky attitude.  He is one of three partners who own a brewery and since he so friendly and outgoing, he is the "public" face of the company. Everyone Zach knows loves him but none of them are unaware that he is not exactly boyfriend material since he keeps his relationships short, sweet and fun.  Which is why everyone, including Zach, is rather surprised when he becomes involved with his neighbor, Jessie Connelly, and her two little girls, seven year old Gracie and five year old Maddie. While Zach initially comes across as a little superficial, there is depth to his character that are slowly revealed over the course of the story.

    Jessie mistakenly believes Zach is a player so she easily jumps to conclusions when she finds her daughters at his house after he recues their adventurous foster kitten from his garage roof. Her experiences with her cheating  ex-husband have left her very leery of becoming involved with anyone and Zach does not leave the best first or second impression on her. However, Jessie is quick to realize her mistake and even quicker to apologize for her jumping to conclusions. Although she knows that he is a good man, she is not sure she wants her girls to become too attached to him. Then there is the matter of Jessie's pesky attraction to her roguish and sexy neighbor whom everyone is quick to warn is not interested in a long lasting relationship.

    Despite her reservations about Zach, Jessie cannot deny that he is a positive role model for Maddie and Gracie.  The more time they spend together, the stronger their attraction to one another becomes. When Zach proposes a no strings fling, she does not really hesitate before agreeing to his proposition.  However, living in a small town means keeping a secret is virtually impossible and someone from her past is not at all happy about her fledgling relationship.

    Although Zach and Jessie are fantastic characters, Gracie, Maddie, their kitten Chaos and Zach's foster poodle Rufus completely steal the show.  Gracie is a little quiet, a bit of a people pleaser and one to sit back and observe instead of jumping into the fray. Maddie is a little firecracker who knows what she wants and she can be stubborn when thwarted.  Chaos and Rufus are darling pets who are as much a part of the family as their human owners.

    While it is nice to see the main characters interact with their friends, the sheer number of secondary characters from the previous installments who make guest appearances is a bit overwhelming. They are enjoyable additions to the current story but it is virtually impossible to tell them apart. And while Zach's male friends offer helpful advice, the women are just a bit... well, immature.  Juvenile humor, leads to ridiculous bets that are rather distasteful. The discussions between Jessie and the other women are just downright tacky especially since Jessie admits that she is not all that close to them.

    Every Dog Has His Day is a charming romance that readers of contemporary will enjoy.  While there are a couple of serious elements that are touched on, the storyline is mostly light-hearted with plenty of humor. The romance has a bit of an insta-love vibe but Jenn McKinlay does a great job making the relationship between Jessie and Zach believable. A great addition to the Bluff Point series that old and new fans will enjoy.
