ARC received via Netgalley for an honest review

This is the first Casey Griffin novel I have read, and even though I have not read the first Rescue Dog Romance book, this did not detract from my enjoyment.

Beauty and The Wiener sweet, cute contemporary romance with bit of suspense thrown in for good measure.

Addison and Felix really are SOL when they get dragged into a dognapping scandal, and while they are doggedly on the trail of the culprits, they are kinda sorta building a relationship.

Addison's - hmm snobbery I guess you would call it - about the perfect guy did make her come across as shallow a lot of the time. Money does not buy class people! Felix though, I adored him and his gruff ways.

I did kind of guess who the bad guys were, and it felt a little Scooby-dooish at the end, but I enjoyed the story.

It sort of reminded me of Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series, with a series of unfortunate events getting in their way - and dogs in amazing clothes!
