5 STARS!
I adore Lucie Rizzo and her shenanigans! This was another great book filled with her quirky life of business, family & love in the making. I hope this isn’t the end, because I really want to see more of her enjoying life with Tim!
In her normal way, Lucie stumbles across trouble while out walking one of her dog clients. She may have witnessed a theft of a million dollar piece of film history, but no one is accepting the little bit that she can tell them and is making her out to be the number one suspect!
Her boyfriend Tim O’Brien, AKA Detective O’Hottie, has to walk a fine line of doing his job in investigating, and trying to keep Lucie out of trouble for simply being in the area. Bring her best friend Ro, her brother Joey and her newly paroled mob boss father into the mix to try to clear her name and you have a comedy of errors bound to happen!

BOOK SUMMARY:
Mafia princess turned canine couturier Lucie Rizzo knows dogs are woman’s best friend. Thanks to her fashion-forward four-legged clients, Lucie’s dog walking/designer pet accessory business is booming. And for once her love life isn’t far behind.
Lucie devotes her days to building the Coco Barknell brand, but her nights are all about roguishly sexy Tim O’Brien. At least they will be if she and Detective O’Hottie finally take their relationship to the next level. But bring an Irish cop home to her mobster father? Fuggetaboutit.
Lucie’s knack for finding trouble lands her in the doghouse—and on the six o’clock news. Someone’s absconded with a million-dollar piece of cinematic costume history, with Lucie the only witness to the crime. Not to mention the prime suspect. To clear her name, she’ll need an assist from her entire wacky crew: friends, family…and future (hopefully) lover.

Now she was a pro and whipped out her card to anyone with even a passing interest. Her growing bank account helped inspire this newfound aggressiveness.
Estelle took the card. “Thank you. I have a little guy at home myself. A mutt, but the cutest darned thing. Maybe I’ll buy him a collar or something.”
“Sure. Check out our Web site. If there’s something you see, let me know, and I’ll drop it by next time I walk Fin.”
“Oh, that’d be great. Thank you.”
Finally, Estelle bent over and gave Fin a good rub.
“Stay, Fin,” Lucie warned.
Please don’t let him launch. With Fin, she never knew. One second he’d be calm and the next—airborne.
But, lookie here, he stayed put. He’d definitely get a treat for that.
“Good boy, Finnie!”
Lucie pulled out another treat. Peanut butter this time. Although the carob seemed to be his favorite.
He made a move to jump, but Lucie tightened her hold on the leash. “Stay.”
“Well, now I’ve made a new friend.” Estelle gave him one last pat. “I’ll be sure to look out for you now, Fin.”
“He loves people,” Lucie said. A little too much.
“I see that. It was lovely meeting you, Lucie.” She held up the card. “I’ll check out your Web site.”
