New York City – Present Day 

Isla Thompson was once the internet’s hottest social influencer, but a mistake involving an up-and-coming actress torpedoed her career. She is now a persona non grata and is having a hard time finding a job. As the sole support of herself and her teenage sister, it’s imperative that she have income coming in. A chance meeting in the park with a dachshund—and his surly master—has Isla offered a job as the canine’s personal attendant. She figures it will be an easy task, though the dog, Camilla, is foul-tempered and has a strict schedule. But the job soon grows on her, and Isla starts an anonymous Instagram account for the dog called The Dachshund Wore Prada. The problem is that she hasn’t told her employer. 

Billionaire Theo Garrison prefers to keep his private life private after losing his parents in a car crash while they were escaping the press. His beloved grandmother raised him and has left him her most prized possession—Camilla. Since his business keeps him busy and he has a love-hate relationship with Camilla, Theo has hired dog sitters. Unfortunately, they don’t last long due to the dog’s attitude. After the last one unexpectedly quits, he is out taking the dog for a walk when he runs into Isla. She intrigues him, and he offers her the job of taking care of Camilla. Things are going smoothly, and he is beginning to like Isla, but as a man who has trust issues, can he trust her to not be a gold digger? How will he react if he learns that she is taking pictures of Camilla and posting them online? Above all, Theo wants privacy. 

A dachshund is at the center of the story in THE DACHSHUND WORE PRADA as she brings Isla and Theo together. The rich will pamper their dogs to the excess, from salon appointments to meetings with a psychic. It’s the reason why Camilla needs a personal attendant and Isla feels she is perfect for the job. Of course, she soon discovers a few things that help pave the way for Camilla to stop snarling at her. Isla’s employer is a bit harder to thaw as Theo doesn’t trust many people. His grandmother was his idol and now she’s gone. This is why he agrees to keep Camilla. As for Isla, her priority is her sister, Dani, who was abandoned by their mother. Dani has ballet lessons and Isla will do whatever it takes to make sure she keeps training. 

In THE DACHSHUND WORE PRADA, it takes a while for the relationship between Isla and Theo to thaw beyond that of employer/employee, but soon he is finding excuses to spend time with her. From the first moment they kiss, their relationship takes off like a rocket. Yet, readers know that Theo likely won’t be happy that Isla has made Camilla an unintentional internet sensation with the Instagram page. It soon has thousands of followers and requests for interviews. The moment Theo finds out, will there be an explosion? 

THE DACHSHUND WORE PRADA is a cute and funny romantic tale that will fit the bill for readers who love to read stories with snappy dialogue and funny scenes. You will be soon rooting for Isla and Theo to declare their love and have a happily-ever-after. Be sure to not miss THE DACHSHUND WORE PRADA.
