About this ebook

Alex Santorini puts his family first and foremost, and that’s going to keep him behind the grill at the family restaurant for the rest of his life, especially if his Greek grandmother has anything to say about it. But when a local winery needs a chef to step in to cook for a celebrity wedding, Alex jumps at the opportunity to showcase his culinary skills…and a chance to get closer to the winery owner who has captivated – and refused – his attention.


Grace Donovan is in a bind and knows that the answer to all her problems is one sexy Greek chef who has everything she needs…and everything that scares the hell out of her. Raised in a series of ever-changing foster homes, Grace has spent her life using science and logic to surround herself with protective walls. With all his passion and intensity, Alex could burn those walls down and, like everyone else in her life, leave her broken and alone.


As Alex and Grace join forces to land the wedding of the year, they also launch a search for the mother of three puppies abandoned at the winery…only to discover a shocking connection to Grace’s own mother and her shadowy past. When the truth comes out, their romance faces its greatest test. Will Grace choose the family she’s wanted her whole life…or the love she may never find again? 


The Dogmothers – a brand new spinoff series by Roxanne St. Claire


In this new spin-off series from The Dogfather,  there’s laughter, love, heartache, hope, and happy endings in store when two polar opposite grandmothers team up to make matches and wreak a little havoc in Bitter Bark, North Caroline. Yiayia has the steel spine of a Greek warrior, and Gramma Finnie has the heart of an Irish poet. Together,  along with two darling dachshunds, these Dogmothers won’t stop until all nine of their grandchildren are hooked, hitched, and happy.


With nine full length novels planned, plus a holiday novella every year, readers are in for a treat that will take them through 2021! Fans of The Dogfather series will find the same level of emotional intensity, familiar family connections and characters, and, of course, an unforgettable dog at the very heart of every story.  Just like The Dogfather, the covers of The Dogmothers were all photographed at Alaqua Animal Refuge in Florida using rescue dogs and local heroesand a portion of the first month’s sales of every book is donated to that amazing organization.

The Dogmothers are at it again, with matchmaking frenemies, Alex and Grace together. Grace owns the local winery and has a big chance for hosting a celebrity wedding but needs a chef. Alex steps in, with his love of cooking. As they work together they soon can not deny the chemistry that they share. Add in three stray puppies, there will be plenty of laughs and smiles through out the book. So, grab a glass of wine and start reading this wonderful heart felt story of finding love and family. I highly recommend this story!!

Your mission, should you choose to accept it... ...is to read this book and die from laughter, love, puppies, weddings, and over all awww moments... okay and probably some crying too but mostly happy tears. This is the 2nd book in the Dogmothers series, which is a spin-off of the Dogfather series and is based on the amazing couple, Alex Santorini and Grace Donovan. Alex Santorini, aka Alex The Great, is a hardworking, loving, family always come first man who secretly wants more out of life then being a chef and working along side his, always second to twin brother, at their family's restaurant. He's also set his sights on the beautiful Grace Donovan who unexpectedly caught his eye. Grace, a former foster child who knows the system better then she'd like to and has been disappointed too many times in life, owns her own winery in a small town in North Carolina. She doesn't have time for the likes of the gorgeous Greek chef, Alex, who always seems to be just popping up. That is until she finally has a chance to put her winery on the map at the same time her chef up and quits leaving her with 3 pups, another broken dream and not a clue of what to do next.

I had the pleasure of reading an ARC of Three Dog Night by Roxanne St. Claire fit an honest review. I can honestly tell you that I LOVED IT! It was an outstanding story and probably one of my favorites. Roxanne St. Claire has once again proved that she is an amazing author. I loved the characters, the setting, and everything else. Three Dog Night had me laughing, crying, happy, sad, excited and angry. It was truly a heart wrenching and heart warming story. It is the second book in the Dogmothers Series. Three Dog Night is the story of Alex Santorini, chef at Santorini’s and twin to John, and Grace Donovan, owner and Overlook Glen Vineyards, the location of Katie Santorini and Daniel Kilcannon’s wedding, and three puppies: Jack, Bitsy and Gertie, that Grace insist they be called. The Dogmothers, Agnes “Yiayia” Santorini and Finola “Gramma Fannie” Kilcannon, are at it once again. They are working to match Alex’s twin brother, John, with Grace, but Alex wants Grace for himself. Alex has always come in second to John, being the younger twin, but not this time. At first Grace is very wary of Alex and the sexy Greek chef who always speaks his mind and the big Santorini, Kilcannon, and Mahoney family. Grace is an orphan who grew up in the foster care system, with no family every loving her enough to keep her and adopt her. Unknowingly, Alex take part in one of Yiayia's matchmaking claims and returns to the vineyard in search of her purse. She wants to send John. but Alex, sees this as a great opportunity to see Grace again. With Alex's help, Grace is able to find some details about her past and her family. Alex and Grace's relationship continues to change as they plan for the possibility of holding a wedding and reception of superstar musicians. As their romance builds, a surprising development occurs regarding Grace's past. Now Grace must decide which she wants more, the family that she always dreamed about or true love with Alex. Three Dog Night is filled with bittersweet and poignant moments where you find yourself crying, lots of surprises, big family dinners, and of course her normal surprise plot twist. Roxanne St. Claire did not disappoint with Three Dog Night. If you love happily ever afters and big families, including a sexy Greek chef and beautiful vineyard owner, you will most definitely love Three Dog Night. I love how the book title and cover are both incorporated into the story so effortlessly.
