Pardon My Frenchie 🥰

✨🐶 When puppy love turns into the real thing...

Ashanti’s life revolves around Barkingham Palace, her thriving doggy daycare and her internet-famous Frenchie, Duchess. Between running her business and raising her twin sisters, romance is the last thing she has time for.

Enter Thad — a grumpy ex-military guy who inherits his grandmother’s spoiled poodle, Puddin’. He’s not a dog person (gasp 😱), but when Puddin’ and Duchess go viral for a Lady and the Tramp-style biscuit moment, he and Ashanti are suddenly thrust into the spotlight together.

Sparks fly. Dogs steal hearts. And love might just be unleashed. 🐾💞

If you like small business heroines, swoony slow-burns, and adorable pets, this one’s for you!

Ashanti’s life is busy managing Barkingham Palace, her doggy daycare, while juggling family responsibilities. This adds a relatable layer to her character as a hardworking heroine. Thad’s introduction as an ex-military man who isn’t initially a dog person creates an intriguing dynamic, making their gradual connection feel authentic and compelling. Their dogs, Duchess and Puddin', bring a delightful element of humor and tenderness, especially highlighted by their viral internet moment reminiscent of Lady and the Tramp sharing a biscuit. This viral scene not only showcases the power of social media in bringing people together but also adds a modern twist that readers can connect with. The slow-burn romance emphasizes emotional development and character growth, a style that many readers appreciate as it allows a genuine connection to form.

Fans of Farrah Rochon’s works, celebrated for creating joyous, heartfelt stories, will find this book especially engaging. The story balances lightheartedness with deeper moments as Ashanti navigates her flourishing daycare business and family life. For those who love dog-related reads, this book offers more than just a cute pet story—it explores companionship, healing, and the unexpected ways love finds you. If you enjoy slow-building romantic stories with engaging characters and adorable pets, Pardon My Frenchie is a perfect addition to your reading list. The combination of real-life struggles with the warmth of canine friendship makes the story both heartfelt and entertaining.
