The Woof In The Wedding Plans (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
3.5 starsI did enjoy this short little romance tale, it was fast paced and I liked the main characters, Terri and Russ as well as their four-legged co-stars. The story has funny moments, touching moments with secondary characters, and a touch of suspense. They are about to be married, but Terri would rather elope, but doesn't want her future father-in-law who is paying for it, to be upset. Russ is a bounty hunter-bail bondsman who loves Terri and also trains german sheperds. Both are having problems with their career plans right now. One hectic day, Terri tries to get a hold of Russ on the phone after a frantic call from his father. The story is wrapped up quickly after some danger, and Russ and Terri find strength in the future and in themselves. It's a good story, but being a novella I wish it had been fleshed out more. I would have liked a little more interaction between the couple. And their was a scene stealer named Angel who left me wanting more. This was a fun, fast read. I read it in only a couple of hours.I liked that dogs were featured in the story and played an important role. I liked the character Terri, and her fiance Russ. Supporting characters Sara and Toby were interesting too. The action was fast paced, and all came together neatly in the end.I didn't like the extended scene of Terri driving around with the 3 dogs. Angel was very badly behaved, and after awhile I began to be irritated with him, and with Terri for taking him with her everywhere she went. I also didn't like Meredith, Toby's mother. Too whiney, annoying and stupid for my taste.This novella referenced events that took place in an earlier book. I think it would be fun to go back and read that one, although now I know how it will end.

A quick read. I didn't expect it to be a suspense book.
