Summary
It's a Dog Text World 。。。
Autumn Jones is at a crossroads。 With no job offers in sight， she can either return to Koshkonong， Wisconsin to work at her dad’s feed store or she can move to New York and help her older sister Helen coordinate the Manhattan Kennel Club Show。 She and Helen may fight like cats and dogs， but Autumn would rather live with a thousand Helens than go home after seven years of college。
Jack Campbell is the veterinarian to Manhattan’s elite。 Despite their adoration， he does not love them back。 In fact， he’s vowed never to date anyone who walks through the front door of his clinic。 He spends his days caring for pampered poodles sporting diamond encrusted collars and placating their high maintenance owners。 When he meets Autumn， he assumes she’s going to be another client with more money than brains。
Autumn is thrown into a bizarre world of highly competitive rich women who will do anything to win the coveted title of Best in Show at Manhattan’s most exclusive competition。 With her haughty sister breathing down her neck， and a high-strung poodle following her everywhere she goes， she doesn’t have time for love， even if she does find herself face-to-face with America’s hottest vet every day。
Will Autumn run back to Wisconsin with her tail between her legs？ Will Jack find out that appearances can be deceiving？ Will Helen’s dog Fifi win Best in Show？ Find out in the hysterical fourth edition of the Accidentally in Love Series， Text in Show。

I really wanted to love this book。 But I didn't like a single character。 Jack was judgy and holier than tough from the first sentence。 It was exhausting to read about how much he hated how ridiculous everyone but him was。 Autumn was a bit in over her head in a world she wasn't prepared for and she didn't really seem to realize what she was getting into。 But it seemed like she never asked she expected to just show up and have her sister， Helen， take care of everything。 She seems proud of how she I really wanted to love this book。 But I didn't like a single character。 Jack was judgy and holier than tough from the first sentence。 It was exhausting to read about how much he hated how ridiculous everyone but him was。 Autumn was a bit in over her head in a world she wasn't prepared for and she didn't really seem to realize what she was getting into。 But it seemed like she never asked she expected to just show up and have her sister， Helen， take care of everything。 She seems proud of how she is able to wander around with her head in the clouds and thinks everyone should love her because she is such a good observer of people。 She constantly complains about how ridiculous Helen is and how she isn't treated well enough， but the thought of getting an actual job and live on her own never seems to occur to her。Helen is definitely flailing and slowly unraveling。 But Autumn never shows any real sympathy for her。 She is constantly upset with how Helen handles things and lives her life， but doesn't take time any to sit down and understand her。 She only wants to tell her sister how wrong her life is to the point of being cruel。 But it's ok because Helen's life isn't what Autumn respects， I guess？ The posh society ladies where ridiculous the the point of parody。 They were clearly meant to be out of touch， shallow， miserable and with more money than brains。 I think the juxtaposition of the 'normal' people was intended to make Jack and Autumn appear better/more real。 But Jack and Autumn are just as judgy and self-obsessed。 At least the society ladies know they are ridiculous。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

A solid read but not as good as the others in the seriesI did enjoy this book， but it did not live up to the previous three in the series。 While Autumn and Jack were a great couple， their relation ship was lacking comparatively。 I did enjoy Autumn and Helen building their relationship as sisters and Helen learning to stand on her own though。

3。5 stars。 This is cute， fluffy fun。 The characters are pleasant and there are lots of humorous moments。 The proclivities of bored rich people were skewered amusingly and I enjoyed all the dog antics and the commentary of the vet clinic's admin。 The romance is a little frustrating。 As the heroine rightfully complains， Jack is very inconsistent to the point where he does seem to be jerking Autumn around a bit， but he manages to stay likable overall。 The story is completely PG - nothing more than 3。5 stars。 This is cute， fluffy fun。 The characters are pleasant and there are lots of humorous moments。 The proclivities of bored rich people were skewered amusingly and I enjoyed all the dog antics and the commentary of the vet clinic's admin。 The romance is a little frustrating。 As the heroine rightfully complains， Jack is very inconsistent to the point where he does seem to be jerking Autumn around a bit， but he manages to stay likable overall。 The story is completely PG - nothing more than kissing is referenced。 Anyone looking for a light diversion would have fun with this quick， entertaining read！Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review！ 。。。more

Lordy Autumn deserves a medal for dealing with her sister， Helen。 Autumn moved to New York to help her sister with a dog show and to try to get into a school for her doctorate。 The dog show is a straight train to crazy town！ The only good thing is the hunky vet that’s agreed to help Autumn。 Hilarious moments that are priceless。 Love Helen and Autumn’s parents！ An awesome romantic comedy！！I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。

Oh what a romantic， funny and heartwarming story。 How Jack and Autumn meet and all the misconceptions lead to a lot of humorous moments。 I love how this is not only about Jack and Autumn but about Autumn's family， how family sticks together and loves unconditionally。 These stories can be read alone and it is a toss up between this one and the first， Text Me on Tuesday， as my favorite。 Love these authors！I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 Oh what a romantic， funny and heartwarming story。 How Jack and Autumn meet and all the misconceptions lead to a lot of humorous moments。 I love how this is not only about Jack and Autumn but about Autumn's family， how family sticks together and loves unconditionally。 These stories can be read alone and it is a toss up between this one and the first， Text Me on Tuesday， as my favorite。 Love these authors！I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

This was a delightful story about love but also about priorities and family and being true to oneself。 Also about the shallowness and corrupt competitiveness the uber rich can fall prey to。 As always， Ms。 Dineen makes me laugh！ And this collaboration with Ms。 Summers has characters that are real， likable and with depth of character as well as human frailties。 I read and ARC of this story and am happy to offer this honest review。

This was a very entertaining， engrossing read。 Realistic？ No， but that's part of the escapist fun。 Based on comments about the previous book in the series not having enough texts to warrant the title "Text Wars"， those same people will probably have the same comment about the number of texts and the title of this book。 Nevertheless， this was a funny， well constructed book。I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving an honest review。 This was a very entertaining， engrossing read。 Realistic？ No， but that's part of the escapist fun。 Based on comments about the previous book in the series not having enough texts to warrant the title "Text Wars"， those same people will probably have the same comment about the number of texts and the title of this book。 Nevertheless， this was a funny， well constructed book。I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving an honest review。 。。。more

This author never disappoints。 I love her quirky characters and the humor hat runs through her stories， as she sets up the miscommunications between the characters that leads to a lot of the mayhem and laughs。 She must be a pretty keen observer of social interactions herself。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。

Dineen and Summers made magic yet again。 I loved getting to know Autumn and Jack。 Similar to the other books in the series， communications plays a key role in the plot。 But this time in the world of Upper East Side Dog Shows。 Is that a real thing？ I kinda hope it is just for the craziness！Ian’s the supporting characters just add so much flavor to the story！ If you are in need of the perfect fun， hilarious， light hearted beach read - look no further！
