Guest Review: You and Me Again (Must Love Dogs #2) by Megan Slayer

Can love really strike twice?

Colin Dent knows what he wants out of life—his career at the advertising agency and his dog. Love is great, but he needs to know the guys in his life understand his dog is his family. He thought he had the perfect combination when he and Matt were a couple. But Matt didn’t stick around.

Matt Miller didn’t leave Colin because he wanted to—Colin hadn’t wanted him any longer. When Matt’s sister leaves her dog, Willie, with him for good, Matt not only understands separation anxiety, but how much it hurts to be forgotten. Then he sees Colin at the dog park. The old feelings rush in and he wants to open his heart, but he hasn’t forgotten the past.

Colin wants a second chance with Matt, but will the time and distance apart be too much to overcome? Or will the love of their dogs be enough to push these two former lovers back together for good?

Reviewer: Shee Reader

By the time I finished the book, I was enjoying it, but it took awhile for me to get with it.

I totally loved the premise. I get it totally. My dog is my favourite kid (I have human kids too…) but I found the writing a little clunky at the beginning, and I was a little bit confused about the timeline of the story given that our two MCs had lived together before the break up, yet Colin had a best friend (key to his house type of best friend) that Matt had never met yet who hated Matt. Maybe I was just being a bit slow.

So, Matt who left Colin because Colin put his dog first, is now a dog owner himself and the two guys meet at the dog park. I thought it was a nice touch that the dogs liked each other!

The story proceeds with Colin trying to win Matt back, without really knowing why they broke up. Later we saw Colin had a roving eye with made me like him even less! Matt seemed too good fro Colin and, and the new bestie was a complete ass.

I found the dialogue a little stilted and “tell me” rather than “show me” but the story did grow on me. Maybe I was just being a grumpy butt, but it wasn’t really my cup of tea.

I’ll try the author again just to see!

I was given a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
