All Harper Thompson wants for Christmas is the huge promotion she's worked so hard for--which she should get, as long as her launch of the hip new coffeehouse, Deja Brew, goes according to plan. Jonah Rogers is trying to save his family's coffee shop, Lucky Star, from going out of business, which will be tough with the brand-new Deja Brew opening across the street. When Jonah and Harper meet for the first time after accidentally swapping phones, their chemistry is as electric as a strand of Christmas lights. They love all the same things, like scary movies, greasy food--and most of all, dogs. It's a match made in heaven . . . until Jonah finds out that Harper's the one about to put him out of business. Only one coffee shop likely can survive, and a competition of one-upmanship ensues in a battle of the brews. The paws really come out when the local rescue shelter has a fundraiser where local businesses foster dogs, and patrons vote with their dollars for their favorite pup. Harper takes in an adorable old bulldog on behalf of Deja Brew, while Jonah fosters a perky three-legged dachshund for Lucky Star. As the excitement builds for who will be crowned King Mutt and king of the coffee hill, Harper and Jonah must decide if their connection was all steam or if they are the perfect blend.

Liked this one even better than the first

After reading the first book in this series I was really excited about this book. I liked the first book, but I liked this one more. I really liked the meet cute, I loved the dogs, I enjoyed both MC and I liked seeing Carly from the first book. The first book was a little unrealistic once we got to the end, but I felt like this one was a little more grounded in reality. Just like the first book this is very instalovey (possible more so than the first book), which isn't usually my thing, but I enjoyed it. This book was full of funny moments, a fun cast of secondary characters, cute banter, a little steam and was just a cute story. I'm not sure if there will be another story set in this series, but if so I will definitely read it.

As much drama as the last installment

In this story, Harper and Jonah meet by accident when they mix up their phones during an airport ride share. Both dog lovers, the two bond and soon learn that Harper's job in the coffeehouse industry might threaten Jonah's family's long-time coffee shop in downtown Austin. Can the two continue to date despite the clear conflict of interest? I enjoyed this novel and it was nice to catch up with Carly from the first Lucky Dog novel as well.

Another fabulous read by Julia London. I did not think she could top the first book in this series, but oh my gosh, Harper and Jonah. What a romance they had. And don’t get me started on the dogs…..I loved them all. Fun, funny and warm hearted!

The dogs do play a charming role in this story, but it’s the romance between the humans that made my heart sigh. Loved Harper’s vulnerability and pluck. And Jonah’s devotion to his parents and extended family. The perfect happy ending.

It Started with a Dog

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 4, 2022

**MINOR SPOILERS**
This book is part of the Lucky Dog series but the two stories do not overlap and this can be read as a standalone. The main character from the first book appears briefly as a consultant to Harper’s company. I did not read the first book but I think the connecting idea is that the dogs come from a rescue organization.
Jonah and Harper meet when they accidentally exchange phones on a ride to the airport. Over the next few days, they are in touch with each other about important messages and phone calls that come into their phones as they are in separate cities. They enjoy texting each other. When they are back in their home city, they meet up to return their phones to each other and are attracted to each other in real life.
When they meet up, the author manipulates the conversation a little so that they do not realize until later that they are competitors at work. Jonah is trying to keep a coffee shop alive started by his grandparents. He is an engineer that took a sabbatical to help his father get through some cancer treatments and finds out that the coffee shop is failing. Harper is trying to open a new coffeehouse across the street that is likely to appeal to the changing neighborhood.
Jonah wants to close the coffee shop and, to be honest, I am not sure why his parents and aunt and uncle fight it. His aunt and uncle are moving to a different city to be closer to their children. His father has cancer. The shop is not making money. They had run the coffeehouse for decades, but do not seem to grasp that it is failing. It is hard to let something go after working there for that long but Jonah is not interested in taking over and he is an only child. His sister, who died from leukemia, did spend time at the restaurant so selling the building would result in the loss of a link to her life. When Jonah tries to run a meeting with them, they do not focus. The problem seemed a little manufactured.
Jonah and Harper basically fall in love quickly so that it is established before they find out about their competing jobs. They then have to deal with it as a couple. The middle stretch of the book felt a little slow.
Harper’s job is a bit crazy. Her boss is odd and it is quite surprising that he is successful. Harper has a co-worker that is in line for the same promotion and who does not tell her about meetings or current developments but later turns out to be a good guy which felt a bit inconsistent. The coffeehouse that Harper is trying to open seems like it would be wildly expensive to open. They plan to have bands, artists, etc, that would add to the overhead of keeping the store open. The egg basket chairs that hang from the ceiling seem quite impractical as they cannot be moved by customers to create social groups.
The dogs add variety and I like the idea of it but felt that the dogs that were in the story were a bit extreme and were added more for humor. Also, I may be over-analyzing this, but Harper has distant parents and always felt unnecessary, so I was a little surprised when she picked a dog that treated her the same way.
There were a few word choices I did not love. For example, at one point Harper thought about the number of men she had “banged”.
I have read this author in the past but have not read any books by her in a while. I liked the story but, it lacks that something needed to get 5 stars.

I absolutely loved this book. Julia London brings her characters to life, and you fall in love. Then add in lots of dogs. I’m hooked, keep them coming.

A heartwarming story about family, falling in love, and of course, the real stars of the book, dogs

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 11, 2021

It Started with a Dog is the second book in Julia London’s charming Lucky Dog series. It follows Harper Thompson, a young woman trying to work her way up the corporate ladder at her job. She is currently vying for a promotion and her boss has given her the major task of opening a flagship coffee shop for their Déjà Brew brand, including promoting it and making all the arrangements for the shop’s grand opening. While she has no time at all for romance, an accidental swapping of cell phones during a Lyft ride from hell leads her to meet Jonah Rogers, a scientist at NASA who is on sabbatical to help his family with their struggling business while his dad recovers from cancer. As they make arrangements to meet up and swap phones back once Jonah is back in town, Harper and Jonah really hit it off and engage in a series of flirty texts all week. Harper is already obsessed with Truck, the enormous dog Jonah has as his phone’s wallpaper, and can’t wait to meet Truck and his owner.

Once Hannah and Jonah finally meet in person, the sparks really fly as it becomes clear they have major chemistry and a shared love of dogs. They start dating, including a date where they go to a shelter and walk dogs. It’s all sweet and they’re so happy getting to know one another, until a major obstacle appears before them – the Déjà Brew shop that Harper is helping to launch is directly across the street from Jonah’s family business, a mom and pop coffee shop called The Lucky Star. Can their fledging new relationship survive the strain of being rivals?

I adored both Harper and Jonah. Harper is so fierce and determined to land that promotion. I really loved her attitude and her spunk. I loved Jonah too, especially because of the sacrifices he’s willing to make to try to help his family, including passing up an opportunity of a lifetime at his job. My heart broke for both Harper and Jonah when they realized they were rivals and that Harper could actually be the one to cause The Lucky Star to go under and devastate Jonah’s family. I was so invested in them and just really wanted them to find a solution that worked for everyone. The wondering what would happen added a nice layer of suspense to keep me turning the pages. If you like a little drama to balance out your romance, this element of the story should do the trick for you.

I’m enjoying Julia London’s Lucky Dog series so much. I’m a sucker for a book that features dogs anyway, and with this series, I think I have a new favorite romantic trope – dogs serving as the catalyst to bring couples together.
