Product Description
Mystery/Romance -- A behind the scenes look at the secret world of Dog Shows ... It is 1942 ... Best friends Esmeralda von Havenburg and Blanche Jacobus have both fallen for the same man: dashing Canadian dog show judge Robert Sheffield. Playing one woman against the other, Sheffield picks a puppy for each to start her own show kennel. But, little does he know of the scandal, lies and hatred his gift of love will inspire! Now, 40 years later, Esmeralda has disappeared. A valuable litter is on the way. Westminster is just around the corner and war between the kennels has reached an all time high! What awaits at The Garden will be one of the AKC's most shocking and tarnished moments in recent history! Sex, deceit, death, betrayal and games -- nothing was too low! Read about competing kennels driven by women who stopped at nothing for the Blue Ribbon! Setting the international dog show community on fire, Ron Hevener's long-awaited, tongue-in-cheek and "psychologically twisted," blockbuster asks, "Who gets the Ribbon ... and who wins at love?"

 Very disappointing. November 18, 2004

Unbelievable and inconsistent characterizations and storyline, florid & tired phraseology, [sex] thrown in once in a while "for interest"? Some good dog show/breeding details not enough to offset the awful soap opera characters and stupid story.

Another great book by Ron Hevener!
It was so entertaining I could not put it down.
It's definitely a book I will read again, this time
with the background music of the theme song,
"Anything for Love".
