There is something undeniably adorable about a dog in a romance book. Looking at the cover of Finding Mr. July by Anna E. Collins, I knew it was going to be unlike any other dog romances I’ve read before. 

If you’re like me and adore dogs in romance books, you’re in luck as Forever is once again publishing two dog romances in July. Last year, we got Pardon My Frenchie by Farrah Rochon and Worst in Show by Anna E. Collins, and we’re getting their next books. 

For those who are craving some good romance books, dogs or otherwise, Forever is an imprint to keep on your radar. They’ve been publishing some of my favorite romances of the year so I’m excited to see what the rest of the summer holds. 

With that being said, I’d like to thank the publisher, Forever for allowing me to read Finding Mr. July early so I could review it for all of you.

Finding Mr. July begins with Holly King who is an intern, looking to get a promotion and get the job she’s been working hard for. All that stands in her way is a competition between the other interns, which is all about fundraising. At first, Holly is drawing a blank until she decides to think outside of the box. 

She decides to make a calendar featuring hot men and their dogs. Sounds like a great plan to me, but the only thing standing in her way? It’s Jonathan Summers. He’s the work grump and starts to refuse to help her. Eventually, he is pursued by their boss, and from there, the attraction only becomes even more intense as he goes with her to photograph the men and their dogs. 

Since we’re all about the dogs here, I just have to say that I adored seeing all the men and their different dogs. It’s clear Anna E. Collins loves her dogs as she puts so much love and care into making sure the dogs get as much love as these guys. Additionally, it was great to see Jonathan get a dog as it made him less grumpy which is something we’re all suckers for. 

Seeing the way Holly meets these men and the lengths she goes to for this project was hilarious. It was fun to see how these guys reacted when they learned Holly’s true motives. While some were less than thrilled, others were happy to jump on board. I feel like that’s such a realistic part of this story and I think if you’re a dog lover, then you’re going to adore this romance. Plus it’s coming out in July and the title is Finding Mr. July so what’s not to like? 

Finding Mr. July by Anna E. Collins is out now where books are sold.
