"I will just chalk this one up to being a bad collaboration between the authors. I love Jennifer Crusie's books as they are usually lots of fun and a bit quirky (in a good way), but this one was way out there. One I could not finish as it was just too weird to follow.
It was an okay premise to bring all the people together because of their dogs (dogs are a trademark Crusie thing), but when they got into the whole goddess thing, I couldn't follow the logic and it was just too odd to stay with it.
I'll stick to Crusie's independent endeavors, as they show her true talents. (Though I did like Agnes and the Hitman with Bob Mayer.)"
"Dogs and Goddesses is an entertaining story of three women who find themselves poised to save the world. How, you ask? They don't know...
The story starts with Abby moving into town with her dog, a Newfoundland. She's there to check in on her inheritance, left by her grandmother. As soon as she rolls into town, she's waylaid by an exasperating college professor who demands that she fulfill her grandmother's contract to bake cookies for his math department reception. Daisy is a web programmer with a Jack Russell, who's Abby's renter. And Shar is a professor of ancient history who's trying to finish her grandmother's book, but can't find that one last footnote. Oh, and she has a dachshund.
All three women have dogs. All three meet at an obedience class for their dogs. And all three find themselves surrounded by chaos when inexplicable powers show up around them. Wait - from them! And they realize that the ancient goddess that Shar is trying to footnote, is REAL, and trying to take over the world! (muahahahahaha!)
Dogs and Goddesses is an enjoyable humor-filled romp. Check it out if you like chick-lit, Jennie Crusie, or are just looking for a fast, fun, read."
"I thought it was a fun read. It was pretty obvious which of the three stories was Cruisie's, though. The whole Mesopotamia connection is unique and fun. I love the whole talking with the dogs. I wish I could do that.
I love that the heroines are not typical. Shar is in her late 40's and stands up to her unappreciative boyfriend. While yes, she gets the super-hot former god, she does it on pretty much on her own terms. Only one of the three is not confident and sure of herself. The female secondary characters are also reasonably strong. The men are true to the genre in that they're all hero-like, but even then two of them have flaws and are not perfect. It's a good fun read; not superior, but fun."
"If you need a super light story to get you through the hot days of July, this is a great pick. Three established women's fiction and romance authors have an absolute hoot collaborating on this story of three women who don't realize they are goddesses. Well, demi-goddesses, but who's keeping track? Their summer gets a little complicated as they try to keep track of dogs, handsome men, new magical powers, and an ancient evil goddess who wants to (what else?) rule the world."
