Tory Hoffstar arrives at publisher Franklin Fender’s office hopeful that he likes her book proposal. Instead, Mr. Fender informs her that he isn’t interested in her book; he wants Tory to help Keenan James write his. Keenan helps women with their relationships but he has no credentials and Tory is a psychologist. Franklin thinks with Tory’s brains and Keenan’s good looks and charm he’ll have a bestseller.  Keenan is a busy guy and when his brother refuses to take their mother’s dog Barbara Streisand off his hands, things get even crazier.

Tory is skeptical about Keenan’s ethics so she disguises herself and attends Keenan’s Just-Dump-Him Round Table meetings to see what he’s all about.  Tory ends up learning a thing or two about herself and Keenan does too.  They can’t seem to get along but they can’t stay away from each other either.

I liked Tory and Keenan and I really wanted them to be together in Hello Doggy, but there is a lack of chemistry between them. There are some sexual sparks and they burn pretty hot, but they never quite click.  The women who attend the Just-Dump-Him Round Table are like a group of old friends who welcome Tory with open arms. It’s really nice and Barbara Streisand is a funny name for a sweet doggy. While Tory’s sister has her nice moments, she makes Tory feel bad often. Hello doggy is a fun story and the ending is great. I just wish there was more of a connection between Tory and Keenan.
