Pairing an adorable little girl with a cute puppy is the perfect recipe. Between Star (the puppy) and Clover (adorable little girl) almost steal the show from our main couple, but Ann Omasta somehow manages to rein in the cuteness and show us an amazing love story with a very unexpected couple.

When the local TV show’s host, Dash Diamond, is forced to share the stage with the cute Star, he isn’t too happy. But his career depends on finding a way to work with the dog - so he buckles down and moves in with her owner, Grace. Now, yes, this is a romance with no bedroom scenes whatsoever. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t sparks and some serious tension in the room between Dash and Grace.

Just as Dash is settling into a routine with the family (which includes the puppy), Star is kidnapped. As they try to figure out who could do such a horrible thing - they really start to learn a lot about each other. Dash isn’t all fancy celebrity, and Grace has a great sense of humor with a contagious laugh. Not to leave out Clover, the girl’s innocence and love of life just fly off the page and into your heart.

Dash and Grace will have a lot to work through if they will ever find a way to meet in the middle, but with Star and Clover helping from the sidelines, they might just make it.
