Publisher's Summary

The most uplifting rom-com you’ll listen to this year—a fresh take on the friends-to-lovers trope, brimming with heart, joy and puppies!

Sera loves owning a pet shelter—even if it’s often tricky to make ends meet, and her mother thinks she's wasting her life. Thankfully, she can always rely on her steadfast best friend, Toby, who just happens to be the local vet.

And then famous actor Ethan James enters the scene. After Sera 'saves' Ethan from a friendly German Shepherd, he confesses to a terrible fear of dogs. A canine co-star is all that stands between Ethan and the role of a lifetime—and he wants Sera to help him overcome his fear. As they bumble through a series of training sessions together, sparks fly and Sera's surprised to find herself falling for Ethan. But not half as surprised as she is when Toby starts acting like a jealous boyfriend.

Now Sera's juggling six dogs, a litter of kittens, a horse, a sheep, and two men intent on outdoing each other. But she'll have to figure out what her heart truly wants ... before her life goes completely to the dogs.

Critic Reviews

"Mix the joyous chaos of Bridget Jones with the heart and kindness of All Creatures Great and Small, and you have a sense of the treat you are in for with Sit, Stay, Love. It’s an utterly charming yet refreshingly grounded rom-com.’","‘Sit, Stay, Love is fresh, romantic and funny. You’ll want to save the four legged animals – and you’ll fall helplessly in love with the two legged ones. Filled with charm, emotion and sparkling prose, Amy Hutton’s debut is an absolute delight." (Penelope Janu, author of Shelter from the Storm)"

"Sit, Stay, Love is the most wonderfully charming debut. Sera's struggle to choose between her two potential Mr Rights is deeply compelling – and bonus, there are adorable dogs." (Jodi McAlister, author of Here For the Right Reasons)

"Warm-hearted and witty, Amy Hutton's Sit, Stay, Love is an ode to love in all its forms – between humans and (adorable) animals, parents and children, best friends and stubbornly oblivious soul mates! Beginning with kittens and ending with kisses, Hutton's writing sparkles with flirty banter, inside jokes, and the odd emotional gut-punch. An ideal fireside or beach read for friends-to-lovers fans, with humour, poignancy, and spiralling sexual tension on every page." (Lucy Parker, author of Battle Royal)

A refreshing Rom-Com

I listened to this on a long trip drive to Melbourne, it was brilliant, a fantastic Rom com that you really weren’t sure who she was going to end up with. You thought you knew, and then bam. A fantastic ending, a brilliant start. The characters were believable and relatable, was had to put down.

Aussie Romance (beware spoilers)

Lovely to have an Australian based romance, easy listen.

But a bit frustrating when advertised as a friends-to-lovers story and then trying to force a different relationship for sake of angst. Ethan was an odd mixture of inconsiderate and overly forgiving/understanding, and Toby was frustratingly jealous and drunk fighting seemed out of character. Both men were unfair to Sera.

Kinda wanted Sera to tell both of them to shove it, they both gave vibes that if she didn't give them romance they would withdraw their friendship (which isn't real friendship if they think it's transactional).

and doesn't really pass the bechdel test :(

Very sweet and cute story

Very cute story. Little slow to begin with but enjoyable -predictable ending but still a joy when you finally get there.
