Small–town veterinarian Megan Rose doesn't usually wake up next to strangers. But this morning she finds one sleeping in her bed. Unfortunately, "Baywatch" a stray puppy, doesn't belong at the address on her tags, either: the mansion of Sutter Foley, millionaire software mogul and six fabulous feet of gorgeous, eligible male. Sutter doesn't even like dogs. He does, however, like the sexy, spunky vet who's trying to saddle him with a pooch. The animal magnetism they share is intense, but so is the spotlight in which Sutter lives. Can Megan stand the heat? Though her outspoken ways make a lot of waves in Sutter's goldfish–bowl world, he's never enjoyed life so much. Could she be the trustworthy companion he's been looking for . . . or should he stick with the dog? It's the old story: girl meets dog . . . girl and dog meet guy . . . guy loses girl, gets dog . . . Or will there be a frisky new twist to this puppy's tale? | | | |

 really? seriously? Jan 23, 2009
A drunk father who is a total embarrassment, no friends or social life, financially near ruin... yeah our 'heroine' doesn't have much going for her. So why not have unprotected sex with a man you barely know? Yeah, that'll make it all better.
Ok, so I think you can guess I did not enjoy this book. The leading lady barely has face time with her would-be love, they meet up less than 10 times in the whole damn book, they go weeks/months without seeing each other, and they have unprotected sex while he's in a relationship with someone else. I'm sorry, not the stuff of my romance novel dreams. The level of detail is zip, same for level of believe-ability. Many of the issues (a father who sexually harasses women and is a chronic drunk whom she has CHOSEN to go live with despite not really knowing him???) are never properly addressed or resolved. Like- love walks in so they all poof away.
To give some credit- right after coming into town she makes two brand new friends who she instantly shares very big secrets with and totally trusts... I actually really liked both of her dog-loving friends.
If it had been more believable, had developed characters better, shown me the love, and shown any of the 'happily ever after' part I'd have rated higher. The dogs barely have face time in the book nor are they developed as canine characters. Know what? I'm thinking Elaine Fox is just not for me.

Wonderful, Sweet Story Oct 23, 2008
I loved this book. I have read all of the books in this "series" and this one was my favorite.
I loved Sutter and thought he and Megan had great chemistry. I liked Baywatch and thought it was sweet how she ultimately melted Sutter's heart.
I especially liked Megan's friends. I would like to see Penelope get her own story eventually. I enjoyed Georgia's escapades with the puppies and her ex husband.
This was a quick, entertaining read that was well paced. I didn't have to make myself read it. The only complaint I have and it is minor, is that Megan never seemed to resolve the issues she had with her father. I would have liked to have seen some closure come to that.
This was an excellent effort and I highly recommend it.

Major fun! Easy read from an intelligent writer! Feb 15, 2007
I'm not ashamed of the fact that I like to read popular fiction instead of Proust, but still I only enjoy INTELLIGENT writing. Elaine Fox is VERY clever, very smart, and says things the way I only WISH I could. In short, she is one of a handful of my favorite popular fiction authors. I'd recommend Fox's work to anyone, with absolute confidence.
Guys and Dogs is a particularly fun book -- partly because I've spent a lot of time at my sister's house in Fredericksburg, VA and recognize most the places mentioned (right down to the walk-everywhere dog society...my sister is a dog freak!). What I like best is how Fox combines the coziness of a funny little group of women friends talking straight with each other about men and life AND the sexiness of a red-hot sexy romance between Sutter and Megan. In fact, as with all of Fox's books (and I stared with "Traveller"), the sexual tension crackles until you just can't wait for the hero and heroine to finally get together!!!!
If you like small-town settings and larger-than-life romances, woven together seamlessly by a master who creates realistic characters acting in realistic ways, this is the book for you! Whether you're on an isolated beach or a crowded bus, Guys and Dogs will take you away!

Where to start? Oct 08, 2006
1. We stay in Fredericksburg every year on our way to the beach. It has a population of over 20,000. It's not so small that everyone knows everybody else nor does it have only one bar open after midnight nor can you walk everywhere. It's not Mayberry!
2. Sutter was a first class snob even though he came from a poor background. Appearances were everything to him.
3. Although he hadn't had sex with his girlfriend for months, and she was less than charming, he still had no business having sex with Megan without telling Briana.
4. He used Megan, plain and simple. He had sex with her but didn't consider her good enough to take out in public. He had no qualms with hurting Megan when he appeared with Briana since Briana was "suitable".
5. Megan was foolish to get involved with Sutter but he was pure scum.
