Whenever I’m in the mood for a hallmark movie in a book, Teri Wilson is one of my go-to authors, and A Spot of Trouble did not disappoint!

Sam & Violet had excellent chemistry from the beginning, and the meddling octogenarians made the story even funnier. I love how Teri Wilson made the Dalmatians a focal point of the story, it kept everything light and humorous while still delivering plenty of heart.

Five stars, definitely recommend! It’s sweet, clean (a couple of minor swears), an excellent choice for a romcom!

Official Blurb for A Spot of Trouble:

Two Dalmatians. One town feud. And a romance nobody saw coming.

Welcome to Turtle Beach, where mistaken identities, softball rivalries, and dog-park drama lead to something even more unexpected: romance.

When by-the-book firefighter Sam Nash and chaos-loving cupcake vendor Violet March discover their identical dogs have swapped places, sparks—and frosting—fly. Violet and Sam eventually realize the mistake and switch the dogs back, but not everything is as simple as it seems. And a little puppy love might be just the thing they’ve been missing…

Recognized by Reader’s Digest as one of the “Best Romances of All Time,” A Spot of Trouble is a laugh-out-loud, clean romantic comedy packed with quirky charm, canine capers, and the kind of slow burn that fans of opposites-attract and grumpy-sunshine tropes crave.

Whether you’re here for the cupcakes, the canines, or the cozy beach-town vibes, A Spot of Trouble is a heartwarming, hysterical escape from USA bestselling author Teri Wilson, perfect for fans of Jenny Colgan and Beth O’Leary.
