Taking the Lead: Adventures of a Hollywood Dog Walker

2016 Finalist in the Readers' Favorite Fiction - Animals category Acting Ambitions. Hollywood Heartbreak. Doggy Deliverance. What would you do if you were an aspiring actress offered a part in a TV series in Los Angeles…but had to give up everything else important to you to achieve that dream? Twenty-one-year-old Tessa Taylor drops out of college and leaves her home in Washington, DC, to pursue her lifelong ambition of becoming an actress, but her decision comes at a price. Tinseltown is tough, stardom elusive, and LA exorbitantly expensive. When her dreams crumble, Tessa struggles. Her heart bruised, she compromises to make ends meet and tries one disastrous job after another. When a fortunate coincidence leads her to a job she never thought she'd do-dog walking-her adventures begin, and a new life, and love, unfold. Taking the Lead: Adventures of a Hollywood Dog Walker is more than just a walk in the park. It's a humorous and heart-warming romantic comedy, infused with a touch of action, adventure, and mystery, which will appeal to dog lovers and chick-lit readers alike. If must love dogs is more than a catchphrase to you, buy this fun novel in the LA Lights romantic comedy series. While all the books in the series are interconnected and the characters recur, each can be read as a stand alone novel. Di Jones must be the master of pun and irony. I am officially in love with the way she writes and the only other person I have said this about is J.K Rowling! - Rabia Tanveer for Readers' Favorite I recommend this wonderful story to any reader who enjoys a huge dollop of comedy served up with their fun and inspirational reading." - Rosie Malezer for Readers' Favorite
