About a Dog is Jenn McKinlay's first foray into contemporary romance and it was a delightful, entertaining story. As soon as I saw the cover with the dog and read the blurb I knew I wanted to read it. Mackenzie Harris is returning to her hometown for the first time since her own wedding fiasco 7 years ago. Her groom left HER at the altar and now she's back to be the maid of honor for her best friend. What has her anxious is that she is going to be seeing her friend's younger brother Gavin, who comforted her after that horrible day and left him without a word. She's going back and doesn't know what to expect. Gavin is all grown up and now the town veterinarian, and definitely hotter and sexier as an older man. 
 I have to say that it was a light and easy read and had me smiling throughout with the witty dialogue and truly entertaining characters. The cast of individuals she has created play off of one another and made the pages fly. Mac is back with her elderly aunts and those two are a hoot crossing things off their bucket list. The two week visit prior to the wedding has Mac and her 3 best friends plus the groom and his, all together on multiple occasions and each time the tension between Mac and Gavin has sparks flying because there is no denying the chemistry. Add an adorable puppy named Tulip and you have another dimension where Gavin and Mac are thrown together, and let's just say that they just can't fight the inevitable. 
 Jenn McKinlay is better known for her mystery series but she can chalk up a winner in romantic comedy with About a Dog. Bluff Point, Maine is a small home town and has all the ingredients of quirky characters and everyone knowing your business. This story is a great beginning in this series and I look forward to reading more from her. I would highly recommend this book because it was funny, enjoyable and romantic.
