#NewRelease & Review – The Foster Wife by Cindy Dorminy @cindydorminy #romance #romanticcomedy
Synopsis
After a devastating breakup, instead of drowning in her tears, Amelia Day starts a new business. For a hefty fee, she uses the methods for training foster dogs to transform men into suitable marriage material. Her track record is impeccable until she meets perpetual bachelor Phin Baxtor. From the start, she’s confused as to why this guitar-playing hunk would even want to hire her, but she needs the money, so she takes him on.
Phin is content with working in his food truck all day and playing the field at night. But his business partner, Jay, offers him a bet he can’t refuse. If Phin can complete Amelia’s program without changing his ways, he will win Jay’s rare guitar. Certain his task will be easier than playing “Hound Dog,” he agrees to enter the program.
With Phin and Amelia spending all their time together, her techniques begin to slip past his defenses. He might become her biggest success, but falling for a client isn’t supposed to be part of the deal.

Review
Sometimes you just need a good fun romance to brighten your reading stack. This is that book!
Amelia has been crushed by a former fiance, so she decides to train men how to find their soulmates. I love how she incorporated dog training and phrasing into her technique. But she doesn’t expect that this client will be her last. Phin has played the field all his life but never knew what he was missing in finding the right woman for him.
This book made me laugh and even tear up a little at the end when they get their HEA. There is a great scene at the end that had me laughing out loud, so much so that my husband asked what was so funny. Of course, it is never as good trying to explain a scene if they aren’t reading the book.
I thought the food truck name was great, PB&J, which was a play on Phin and Jay’s names. There is even music trivia sprinkled throughout. I didn’t know any of the answers, but maybe you will.
There are so many great characters, and I could see this becoming a series. I’d love to know what happens with some of the other single characters, such as Layne and Axel.
If you are looking for a light-hearted book, then definitely pick this book up. We give it 5 paws up.
