Product Description

Josie Sheehan collects failed relationships the way some women collect designer handbags. Now, at thirty-five, she has exactly one male in her life: her Labradoodle, Genghis. In fact Josie, along with the three very single women in her dog-walking group, has recently sworn off men, resigning herself to long walks in the park with her devoted, four-legged friend.

All bets are off, however, when she meets Rick Rousseau, a pet-company CEO who is smart, sexy, and, best of all, head-over-heels for Josie. Even Genghis, an excellent judge of character, seems to know that Rick is the real deal. But just when Josie starts to think that she has found something more enduring than puppy love, she discovers that Rick has a complicated past—and a secret that could put the woman he loves in serious danger...

Not Her Best February 4, 2010
Stephanie Campbell
I have read and enjoyed most of Susan Donovan's books. This one was not up to her usual caliber. And what's with this "ask the universe" nonsense??? Skip this one. If the sequels in the trilogy are similar, they won't be good reading either.

Another Keeper January 30, 2010
Judy (Cincinnati, ohio United States)
Susan Donovan's Ain't To Proud To Bed is another sexy and funny story by this delightful author.

Josie Sheehan has had one to many failed relationships. She and her dog-walking group of friends decide on a no need for a man pact. All the man Josie needs is her dog Genghis. But that new rule is put to the test when she meets the CEO of Celestial Pet Rick Rousseau.

Rick Rousseau had put his dating life on a permanent freeze after a serious accident many years ago. That resolve is broken when he meets Josie. Rick thinks maybe he can have it all with Josie at his side.

But there is someone from his past that is determined not to let Rick or anyone he loves find happiness. With Rick and Josie drawing closer, Josie's life becomes in serious danger.

Ain't To Proud To Bed is full of humor and all out sexual sparks. Rick and Josie are gems, they connect on so many levels. Its a pleasure to read a couple falling in love and watch them overcome major obstacles. Susan Donavan is author that every romance reader should have on their auto buy list.

Very Cute- Loved it January 27, 2010

I thought the novel was very cute, a true love story. I loved it from beginning to end.
It was very funny and romantic. I can't wait for the next book to come out. I think I'll pre-order it.

Ain't Too Proud to Beg January 25, 2010

1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Josie Sheehan works for a newspaper writing obituaries. She is now 35 and realizes that if anyone had to write her obituary it would be very sad indeed. Besides many failed relationships, the only thing Josie has right now is her Labradoodle Genghis. Along with three friends, Josie agrees that men are off the list of things to do for now and that it's better to just walk their dogs. That is until she meets her dream man at a new dog-grooming store.

Rick Rousseau can't believe he is anyone's dream man - more like their nightmare man. But when a woman bursts onto his life and then asks him out for coffee, Rick is helpless to refuse her. Unexpected circumstances make that an unfulfilled promise. Rick has secrets in his background that could harm anyone close to him. However, once he gets to know Josie, Rick isn't going to let that stop him from learning everything there is to know about this unusual woman and why she pulls him so much.

Josie believes Rick is a dog groomer only to discover he is the CEO instead. Something about Rick pulls Josie to act unlike herself unafraid - after all, Genghis loves Rick and he is a great judge of character. As their relationship deepens, Rick tells all of his secrets to Josie - the entire time worried that a budding relationship is about to go down in flames. Josie surprises Rick once again by accepting all he is. Lurking and coming closer by the hour is a danger that could not only crush their love but it could be deadly to one of both of them. Trust and love is what will keep Josie and Rick together or it might crumble in their hands.

Man's best friend and a wish to the universe brought them together, but only love can keep them that way. Ain't Too Proud to Beg is an unlikely love story between a man who had given up on the chance to love and a woman who constantly chose the wrong men. Josie is part of a pact between her dog walking friends to give up on men. Rick's past actions have made him turn his back on attempting to love. I laughed as Josie got up the nerve to ask for her dream man only for him to appear and laughed again as I watched Josie and Rick collide for the first of many times. The loving humor that was the backdrop to Rick and Josie was perfect when matched against the past that was trying to pull them apart. But when a wish and fate bring you together, anyone would be foolish to ignore it. Ain't Too Proud to Beg is a sweet and funny love story that proves everyone deserves a second chance at love.

Did not even finish it January 5, 2010

Usually love her books but had to force myself through half the book and now have given up. I just did not like the characters much. In fact the character I liked the most was the guy coming across the country to kill the main character. The friends were too much also. The idea had promise but fell flat. Will try again with next one by author though.
