Pardon My Frenchie was a fun, joyful romance.  It felt like a big breath of calming and relaxing air. I liked Thad and his story of adjusting to civilian life and finding his purpose after the military, but I loved Ashanti. She is a wonderful character with foibles as well as strengths, working hard to grow her dog-centered businesses as well as care for her twin sisters. Her love for her family and friends, human and canine, was so lovely. 

Pardon My Frenchie did touch on some harder topics like grief and betrayal by father figures, but there was a lot of joy in the story. That is the word that keeps coming up for me: joy. I hope we get another book in this friend group as hinted at in the epilogue.
