A Girl's Best Friend by Elizabeth Young

Dogs Are Better Than Men

• They never brag about their ex's stunning cleavage.
• They don't moan or sulk if you're a half-hour late.
• They never tell you a Brazilian would really turn them on.

After her most recent disaster with the King of the Unrepentant Jerks, Isabel "Izzy" Palmer is finally convinced that the only male she truly needs in her life is Henry, her lovable part wolfhound, part who-knows-what. Henry's faithful, he adores her madly, and he's great fun to sleep with. So who needs the additional heartache?

But even armed with powerful knowledge and a new resolve, Izzy starts to feel that familiar itch ... and it's all because of Nick. He's a vet for goodness sake -- confident, handsome and compassionate -- if a bit rough around the edges. After teasing her about Henry's unusual looks and questioning her most recent choice in men, Nick then has the gall to turn halfway charming. But he doesn't stop at halfway, and though she already has a best friend, Izzy realizes it doesn't preclude her from having a perfect match, too.

Elizabeth Young is a new Canadian author who got the idea for her first children's book while sewing quilts and duvet coverings for her grandchildren. It wasn't enough for her to give the children quilts for Christmas; she made them even more wonderful by including a narrative that would captivate their imaginations while also encouraging the gift of reading and writing in their young minds. Elizabeth has been writing unpublished poems and short tales since she was 15, and she intends to have more of her work published in the future.
