The Truth About Cats and Dogs

– Cats and dogs are the two most popular pets in the world. More than 50 percent of households have at least one or the other in their homes. According to a survey done by the Humane Society of the United States, the majority of people bring these animals home for companionship.
Because they play such an important role in our lives, over the years, cats and dogs have starred in many movies, and inspired a number of books, the most recent of which is the Harlequin title, “The Truth About Cats & Dogs,” an anthology written by USA Today Bestselling author Lori Foster, Caroline Burnes and Kristine Rolofson.

The romantic tale was written by animal lovers for animal lovers. The authors’ own pets inspired stories that showcase how the uncomplicated love between animals and humans sometimes provides the additional benefit of revealing the path to a lasting romantic relationship.

In the first tale, two Chihuahuas, a crime-solving cat and three homeless mutts are about to become matchmakers. Sadie Harte’s Chihuahua is head over heels for the Chihuahua next door. It’s impossible for Sadie and neighbor Buck Boswell to keep them apart. And soon Sadie and Buck are finding it impossible to stay away from each other, too. Clever Chihuahua! The second tale is about three homeless dogs, an old van, and a six-hundred-mile rescue mission. What could possibly go wrong? As Jessica Hall finds out -- everything. Now Jessica needs rescuing, too, and her canine friends know just the man to be her hero. And in the third story, when Mack Sanders’s little girl, Miranda, goes missing, Penny Jameson’s friend Familiar, the feline sleuth, senses there’s more to Miranda’s disappearance than her search for a lost cat. And Familiar also senses there’s more to Mack and Penny’s attraction than they realize -- yet.

“Our talented authors are showing us not only their creativity in the stories they have crafted for this volume, but also their generosity,” says Marsha Zinberg, Executive Editor of Harlequin Books. “Each author has chosen a charity devoted to animal rescue to be the beneficiary of their attention as well as their personal contribution.” You can find “The Truth About Cats & Dogs” at a bookstore near you, or order online at www.eharlequin.com.
