About this ebook

"One of the year's most delightful rom-coms."—New York Times bestselling author Julia London on The Dachshund Wears Prada

The perfect romcom for dog lovers! Pets of Park Avenue is the story of a self-confessed hot mess who learns that life is more fun when things don't go according to plan.

What do you do when The One is also the one who broke your heart?

Self-proclaimed hot mess Scout Myers is determined to prove she’s finally got her act together. Raised by grandparents who saw her as her wayward mother’s wayward daughter, Scout’s used to being written off. So when the opportunity for a promotion arises at Paws in the City, the talent agency where she works, Scout is desperate to rise to the occasion. With shared custody of her little sister also on the line, Scout can’t afford a single mistake…like suddenly needing a canine stand-in for an important photoshoot. Luckily (or not) she knows the owner of the perfect pup replacement: the estranged husband she walked out on years ago.

On the surface, it appears Lane Halliday’s life has been blissfully drama free without Scout, but she suspects her handsome-as-ever not-quite-ex-husband doth protest too much. Working together even feels like old times—except for all that lingering, unresolved tension. But Scout’s not sure she’s ready to confront the reasons she left Lane, and when their plans to finalize the divorce become very real, Scout starts to wonder whether second chances might be worth a little hot mess.

Ratings and reviews

This book is one of my favorites from Stefanie London! She has a knack for creating characters you can empathize with and care about, and I really liked Scout and Lane. They met in Vegas and married very, very quickly, and it didn't take long for things to fall apart. However, they never divorced despite neither of them expecting to see the other again. The second chance romance between them was woven nicely with the work Scout does with her best friend Isla, and the family issues she also faced. I felt so much for everything she had experienced and how her family life affected her views on love, self worth, and relationships. The writing and storytelling hooked me from the first page and I had a hard time putting the book down. The plot was original and fun, but also emotional and sweet. I highly recommend both this book and the first one in the series!

Second chance for Scout and Lane! Once they got the past baggage out in the open, the healing began. It turns out that the grandparents weren’t as bad as initially thought. Wonderful ending!

Second in this sweet, fun series. This story has all the feels and laughs, I fell for Scout and Lane, who start out at a rocky disadvantage, then work their way to adulting and making the most of their past mistakes and misunderstandings. A well written book, consider grabbing the whole series, both are great enjoyable reads.
