If only finding true love was as easy as falling for a stray dog. That's what Cara Snow thought. She worked in a specialty pet boutique, and always seemed to go crazy for some homeless pooch at their adoption clinics. But her love life was a disaster! In her new book, Stray Magic , Jackie Bouchard blends her trademark humor with a passel of pups and a sprinkling of fairy dust. All I can say is I bet you've never met anyone quite like Vincent, Cara's matchmaker and fairy godfather. (Did I mention he was about 3 feet tall and wears a velour track suit?)

If you're looking for a great story about dogs, love, magic spells that often spell trouble, and a lot of fun, be sure to pick up Stray Magic . And, enter our giveaway here! Entering is easy!

It's also about Marie, a floppy-banged labradoodle, who teaches Alex a few lessons about acceptance. House Trained is a funny, honest look at family--the good, the bad, the messy, and...
