Fifth Avenue Fidos
A New Adult Rom-Com with “Bite”
Holly
Schindler
When a mutt from Queens meets a
purebred New Yorker, it takes man’s—and woman’s—best friend to convince them
what they feel is more than puppy love.
Mable Barker, a hilarious,
good-natured sweetheart who is always the pal but never the girlfriend, endures
nine horrendous months of bouncing between lackluster New York City jobs (and suffering
unrequited love) in her unsuccessful attempt to find her one true talent. So
when she meets Innis, the ill-tempered Upper East Side Pekingese, she assumes
her dog-walking days are numbered, too; soon, she’ll be heading back to Queens
brokenhearted, tail tucked between her legs. But Innis belongs to the adorable
yet painfully shy young veterinarian, Jason Mead, a man whose awkward ways
around women have him dreaming not of finding love for himself but of playing
canine matchmaker—breeding Westminster champions.
When Mable and
Jason meet, romance is officially unleashed: they find an instant connection
and shared goal, as it appears that Mable could very well have what it takes to
be a professional handler, soon to be seen holding Innis under a banner
labeled, “Best in Show.” As Jason and Mable get closer to putting a new twist
on the term “dog lovers,” outside forces—Mable’s overprotective brothers, a
successful wedding planner with her eye on Jason, even the theft of purebred
pups from Jason’s Fifth Avenue apartment building—all threaten to come between
them. Will Mable and Jason simply let their burgeoning love roll over and play
dead? Or will they rally to make sure Innis emerges as the leader of the pack?
Brimming with humor
and endearing characters, Holly Schindler’s Fifth
Avenue Fidos offers a sweet romance and modern-day fairy tale in which dogs,
not dragons, rule the land…a story about the loves that help us realize our
dreams.
