Publisher's summary

Two hearts on the mend and one adorable mutt get a new leash on love in this romantic short story from award-winning author Rebekah Weatherspoon.

Andre Monroe is ready to move on from heartbreak, and the first step is bringing home his rescue pup. He’d bonded instantly with the playful Zeus and was already planning their first adventures. But one thing he definitely hadn’t daydreamed about was Zeus accidentally being promised to someone else - or that he might go home empty-handed and brokenhearted all over again.

Janelle Johnson is not giving up her claim to Zeus. He already has a hold on her heart (and his own Instagram handle). After the year she’d had, she needed this dog. But when she sees the disappointment of the big, burly handsome man who’s clearly just as in love with the dog as she is, she proposes a deal to Andre - for one month they’ll co-parent the dog. How hard could it be?

Both of them agree to the unusual arrangement. Sharing a dog with a complete stranger isn’t quite the walk in the (dog) park they imagined, but as they work together to give Zeus a loving future, their four-legged friend might not be the only one who’s found a happily ever after.

Just the right amount of story and romance

Wow. I really enjoyed this one. Awesome narration.

A Walk in the Park by Rebekah Weatherspoon is absolutely delightful. It features Andre and Janelle who received the exact adoption email about a dog named Zeus.

I chuckled and smiled through this novella-length audiobook. Very likable characters and an excellent connection/chemistry despite their adversarial first impression. This is another winner from Rebekah Weatherspoon and it’s on audible plus. What a cute audiobook.

This was CUTE!

Always love a good story, especially if it can come form a writer whose work I haven’t read before, and features decent narration! Loved the characters in this story and their portrayal as true plus-sized folks! I also loved the meet-cute of them coming together to take care of this dog! This feels like a realistic story I or someone I know could experience; the female narration could have been a bit better, but the male voice also felt regular and natural in a way that was refreshing. Look forward to reading more from this author!

My Heart Is Warm

I would listen to this book over and over again. Sexy, cute, engaging, funny and all of the characters had substance and personality. Plus, the doggy is my favorite character in the book.

Warm, Charming, Funny and just the right amount of sexy heat!!

Loved the story line! Love can come to you when least expected, you just have to be open to receive it! Loved the interactions between these two characters.The author’s attention to details and the narrators painted such a clear picture that they made me feel like I was a part of the story and that I was witnessing all of this as it unfolded. I found myself laughing and smiling a lot.

Great setup

Loved how two lost souls found each other just by being a dog parent. Animals bring out the best in us if we allow them to. Great performances by both narrators, made me not want to get up and leave the storyline...

Easy cute story - thanks for the diversity

casual easy listen, liked both main characters, nice progression of storyline - did 'fast forward' past a few super adult portions that may be just the sizzle someone else is looking for - I appreciate the diversity without the trauma
