Hi, Friend.

I'll be honest with you. This is the most ridiculous newsletter I've ever written. You see, I've finally addressed the question you’ve been waiting and waiting for. It's time. 

If my romance heroes were dogs, what breeds would they be?  

I have no excuse for this newsletter. Maybe it's the August warmth, one too many glasses of white wine, or that I'm writing two books at the same time (don't try it at home). But a few weeks ago, an amazing reader sent me a special email. She’d just read Small Town Hero, and told me that Parker Marchand exuded Golden Retriever energy.

I've never heard a truer thing in my life. 

It made me think of my other characters, and what breed they'd be, and I knew I had to share. Also, I just found out that August is International Dog Month, which means I’m not only crazy, but topical, too. 

So what do you think? Is Victor St. Clair a typical Doberman, or am I barking up the wrong tree here? Scroll down to see. 

Stay pawsitive out there,
Olivia

PS: I'm sorry.

• Cole Porter is loyal and loveable, a classic German Shepherd.
• Rottweilers (my favorite breed) are often misunderstood and don't trust easily, but love their families deeply... just like Nicholas Park.
• Victor St. Clair is a Doberman. Elegant, protective, fierce on the outside.
• Parker Marchand, of course, has peak Golden Retriever energy.
• Huskies LOVE to talk and work, and so does Carter Kingsley. 
• Dalmatians are one-owner dogs and unique; no one dog has the same spots as another, like Rhys Marchand. He would also hate this whole exercise, muhahah.

I'm reminding myself for the 1000th time that I can't get a dog right now. But puppy. But no. But puppy...

Have you read all of my bonus stories? 
These include extra chapters and extended epilogues.

Wondering which order you should read my books in or which to try next?

If you're a cat person and hated this newsletter, I'm really sorrry. 🐱 Cats make purrfect pets too!
