The Foxe & The Hound, R. S. Grey
I want to thank the author from the bottom of my heart for providing me with a copy of her book.
The Blurb
When your life is a hot mess at twenty, it’s cute. At twenty-seven…well, not so much.
It’s just that my lofty dreams—making it as a real estate agent, paying rent on time, showering daily—have stayed just that: dreams. Oh, and love? I’ve decided love might be a little ambitious for me at the moment. Instead, I’ve settled for the two guys who will never leave me: Ben & Jerry.
That is, until Dr. Adam Foxe takes up residence as the town’s new vet.
With his strong jaw, easy confidence, and form-fitting scrubs, it’s not long before every housewife in Hamilton is dragging neglected tomcats in for weekly checkups.
Like everyone else, I’m intrigued. Even after I spoil my chance at a good first impression, he still offers me a proposition I can’t refuse: play his girlfriend at a family function and he’ll hire me as his real estate agent. Welcome to love in the 21st century.
It’s too bad I underestimated Adam’s irresistible charm and the undeniable attraction that burns between us. The day he pins me to the wall and silences me with a kiss, the line between reality and ruse begins to blur. Every teasing touch brings me to my knees. Every kiss promises more.
It looks like my hot mess of a life is about to get a little hotter.

My Thoughts
I've had a long week. And I'm very tired.
This book was an absolute treat for me. From page 1 until the end, I read it in one sitting and enjoyed every single words of it.
It's my first book by R. S. Grey. And I know it's not going to be the last! I found the style so great and entertaining, all about the characters. Those characters, by the way, felt realistic and so sweet and caring AND I WANT THEM IN MY LIFE!
(Or maybe I could settle on an Adam one, you know.)
The plot and action were inviting, because I love a good romance every once in a while. But that's the thing: I love a good romance, when it's well done. And this one is. Definitely. It's the kind of slow-burning romance that made me rush through the pages and that drove me mad with frustration, just like an addict. Oh well.
I loved the split perspective, I loved Madeleine, I loved Adam, I loved Madeleine and Adam together, and I loved Mouse!
Basically, as you can see, I loved everything.
It's one of the few books this year that made me giggle out loud.
And given the state of my life as of now, it's a great compliment, I believe.
Selected Quotes
- "Apparently my mouth isn't connected to my brain anymore."
