Fifth Avenue Fidos
A New Adult Rom-Com with “Bite”
Holly
Schindler
When a mutt from Queens meets a
purebred New Yorker, it takes man’s—and woman’s—best friend to convince them
what they feel is more than puppy love.
Mable Barker, a
hilarious, good-natured sweetheart who is always the pal but never the
girlfriend, endures nine horrendous months of bouncing between lackluster New
York City jobs (and suffering unrequited love) in her unsuccessful attempt to
find her one true talent. So when she meets Innis, the ill-tempered Upper East
Side Pekingese, she assumes her dog-walking days are numbered, too; soon,
she’ll be heading back to Queens brokenhearted, tail tucked between her legs.
But Innis belongs to the adorable yet painfully shy young veterinarian, Jason
Mead, a man whose awkward ways around women have him dreaming not of finding
love for himself but of playing canine matchmaker—breeding Westminster
champions.
When Mable and Jason
meet, romance is officially unleashed: they find an instant connection and
shared goal, as it appears that Mable could very well have what it takes to be
a professional handler, soon to be seen holding Innis under a banner labeled,
“Best in Show.” As Jason and Mable get closer to putting a new twist on the
term “dog lovers,” outside forces—Mable’s overprotective brothers, a successful
wedding planner with her eye on Jason, even the theft of purebred pups from
Jason’s Fifth Avenue apartment building—all threaten to come between them. Will
Mable and Jason simply let their burgeoning love roll over and play dead? Or
will they rally to make sure Innis emerges as the leader of the pack?
Brimming with humor
and endearing characters, Holly Schindler’s Fifth
Avenue Fidos offers a sweet romance and modern-day fairy tale in which
dogs, not dragons, rule the land…a story about the loves that help us realize
our dreams.
