Reviewed by Tina




What’s a girl to do when she can’t have the baby she’s longing for? Get a puppy. And that’s exactly what Penelope Porter does. Only her dog doesn’t seem to want to stick around long enough to get to know his new owner. He prefers the likes of bad boy Dylan Mersey, who owns a shop across the street from Penelope.

Penelope can’t deny she’s attracted to this bad boy with a checkered past, but she’s trying to reconcile with her ex-husband, Glenn. She’s sure Glenn is ready to renew their relationship and settle down. And she secretly hopes for that baby she still wants.

Will Penelope’s dog be a matchmaker for her and Dylan or will she fall back into Glenn’s arms?

BEDTIME FOR BONSAI is one hilarious book. Ms. Fox has two irresistible characters whose chemistry burns up the pages. From the moment they meet, the sparks fly between Penelope and Dylan, even if Penelope doesn’t want to admit it. But there’s the ex waiting in the wings. This reviewer screamed with frustration a few times at the mere thought of Penelope reuniting with her ex.
When Dylan and Penelope finally have sex, talk about hot off the press. They were combustible.

Secondary characters? They’re plentiful and just as enjoyable as the main character. When Dylan and Glenn become friends who jog together I kept waiting for them to figure out they liked the same woman.

This reviewer couldn’t get enough of BEDTIME FOR BONSAI. If you like romantic comedy, don’t miss out on this irresistible read.
