Heart On A Leash stole my heart from page one. I was completely enamored with Taylor and Josh's love story and how they fought for each other in the midst of their families' decades-long feud. And the fact that they both were animal lovers was the cherry on top of this adorable romcom. Whether you're a dog lover, cat lover, or romance lover, you're sure to fall hard for this book.19 s Olivia BlackeAuthor 11 books310

Set in Helen, Alaska, HEART ON A LEASH is a delightful romance.

Amidst a generations-old Hatfields and McCoys-esque feud, Taylor reluctantly puts her life in L.A. on temporary hold to return home to Alaska to help her family and finds herself drawn back into the fray. Luckily, she finds fleeting distraction with Josh, a new doctor in town. It's hard to decide who's more charming - the steamy love interest or his three rescue huskies. Un Taylor, Josh isn't a Helen native but he's a close relation of her family's mortal enemies, which causes the feud to flare.

Taylor is torn between responsibility, family loyalty, independence, and a growing attachment to Josh (or possibly just his fantastic dogs!) With a solid plot, captivating writing, and a spicy romance, HEART ON A LEASH is sure to satisfy.2021-debuts16 s Rachel SolomonAuthor 12 books6,991

Such a delight! I loved this one.15 s MichelleAuthor 17 books444

A small town romance that defies cliche. Complex family rivalries, swoon-worthy romance, and (of course!) adorable dogs make this a heart-melting love story.

It was the Alaska setting and rescue huskies that first drew my eye to this story, but what really set it apart was the depth and realism of the romance. I that the main characters genuinely enjoyed each other's company and respected each other's minds, beyond just insta-lust. I also really d how the family rivalries were drawn without making the family members evil caricatures. The cousins especially were characterized with nuance and understandable motivations, and I enjoyed the well-paced escalating stakes of the family rivalry. This is an author to watch!romance13 s Lyn Liao74 3

Not only did I fall in love with Taylor and Josh and their love story (and their determination not to let their families interfere with their relationship), but I loved Josh's three Huskies, Jay, Pepper and Bella. How can you not love a book with three lovable Huskies frolicking and giving kisses in a hurricane of furry bodies? I wanted to be in Helen, Alaska with all of them. This book really transported me to Alaska, and despite the feud between the two main families, made me want to live there too. It was such a well written book, with characters I wanted to know (especially Kelsey! I hope she gets her own story!) and dogs I wanted to hug. Curl up with this wonderful book and be prepared to read it all in one sitting. 13 s Elizabeth EverettAuthor 4 books618

A small-town romance without the cliches that often accompany this genre, the story features a heroine who has the self-awareness to know you can come home again and still be yourself and a hero who is up for the challenge of making a home for himself after a childhood of moving from place to place. The two lovers meet-cute before they find out they are on opposite sides of a century-old family feud. I loved how they were both mature and kind, with no deep hidden traumas or hangups, just two people wanting to be together but divided by the treacherous waters of family dynamics. Also, there are adopted huskies. Huskies, Alaska, love - what more could you want!!??13 s Sarah JengAuthor 2 books227

This romance would have been perfectly charming even without the huskies, but I'm a firm believer that dogs make almost any story better.

Taylor Lipin is disenchanted with her life in LA, but she doesn't know it until she loses her job and returns home to Helen, Alaska to help her family run their resort hotel. While there she meets Josh, a physician. Their chemistry is smoking hot and their banter is everything I could ask for. Straight to the HEA, right? Well, no, because Josh is a Porter. And here's where things get complicated, because the Lipins and the Porters have been locked in a Hatfields/McCoys style feud for literally over a century. They’ll stop at nothing to get ahead of each other, whether it's jockeying for economic and political power or a little light vandalism. Once Josh and Taylor’s relatives find out they’re dating, their actions escalate to the point where actual violence becomes a possibility.

I loved Taylor's slightly sardonic voice, and how she is just done with this whole feud mess. Josh and Taylor's relationship was really well done, as were their conflicted feelings about their families and the feud trying to tear them apart. Each is understandably concerned about the other getting hurt by some overzealous relative (even aside from the inevitable awkwardness at family events). Indirectly the book was also a nice comment on the dangers of dehumanizing your opponents. The wrap-up was heartwarming, even more so because the dogs were directly involved in moving the plot forward (the Porters are obsessed with huskies and every member of the family has a bunch of them). I very much enjoyed HEART ON A LEASH, and PAWS AND PREJUDICE, the next book in the series (though not a P&P retelling) is at the top of my TBR!10 s RomanceAllTheWay SAuthor 1 book51

Ok let me start by saying if you are anything me don't let the cover make you think otherwise. This is a romance with full heart and steam. And yes the dogs are there are very important part of story too.but it's not in their POV as I had been misled prior to picking it up.
CW: none that I think of.
Syeam: open door

Taylor and Josh start a sweet bumping into each other meet cute (won't add the spoiler) but soon grow into a hot couple. That coupled with the beautiful imagery of summertime Helen Alaska was a much needed getaway for this frozen quarantined reader.

But the best part for me was the whole family drama
