Romance with dogs as part of the setting

Can anyone suggest some romance books where dogs are part of the storyline. I’ve read a couple of Lucy Dillon’s involving dog walkers etc and just wondered if anyone could suggest any others.

I didn't even know that this was a genre!

Whyyyyyy would you want to read a book like this?! I can't imagine dogs add much to the story, no dialogue for a start.

Have just thought of the Corduroy Mansions series by Alexander McCall Smith.

They do contain a dog and are entertaining but I don't think they'd fit your Romance criteria?

Oh the Scotland Street ones by AMS also have an occasional dog protagonist as well. Set in Edinburgh and he’s a pretty no-nonsense sort of dog but there is some romance there

Lucky Dog by Mark Barrowcliffe.

On the contrary! Lucky Dog narrates much of the book. ☺️

I also love books with dogs in @way2serious

These are a few stand outs that are funny and sweet and have dogs. I’ve got more on my kindle so let me know if they’re the right kind of thing for you, and I’ll check for others.

  • Don’t You Forget About Me, by Mhairi McFarlane
  • The Happy Ever After Playlist by Abby Jimenez
  • The Wedding Hitch by Claire McCauley

The first two are available, the third I read recently on NetGalley so it’ll be published in the next few weeks.
