Sawyer Bennett writing as Juliette Poe has become my newest obsession!!! Seriously, who wouldn’t want to get lost in a romance with all the feel good family vibes. I know that I do and that’s why I love the simplicity and playfulness of the Sex and Sweet Tea Series.
Barking Up the Wrong Tree is the third installment and most definitely can be read as a standalone. Do I recommend it? Of course not because the beauty of this book and series is getting lost with the townsfolk of WhyNot, NC and the Mancinkus family.

Laken Mancinkus is WhyNot’s only veterinarian. She loves her job and her family. Everything is going well for her except her love life. That pretty much is non-existent that is until WhyNot’s newest resident, Jake McDaniels comes barreling into her life.

Jake McDaniels just bought a farm and in this farm, it has goats. Jake has no need for the goats since he mostly bought the farm for his business corporate tax break. And so when Jake’s newly acquired goats break free from their fenced compound, Jake desperately asked Laken to help him wrangle the goats back into the fence.


Instead of a dog or cat bringing them together, Jake and Laken can thank the goats. As Jake and Laken begin to spend more time together, they soon form a romantic kind of relationship. But with his job in Chicago and hers in WhyNot, it leaves them with the only option of doing long distance. Will Laken and Jake’s new relationship be able to survive the distance? And will Laken be able to give up her job and move to Chicago to be with Jake? And what will happen to Jake’s baby goat?

Barking Up the Wrong Tree is your fast paced sweet, sexy, fun, and heartfelt romance. This book was just a sticky molasses of sugary romance done right that will leave you smiling like a fool. Did I also mention, all the characters of WhyNot brings forth a certain charm and entertainment to keep readers like myself smittened. So if you are looking for a romance that will make you smile and feel good then I suggest you pick up this book and the other books Juliette Poe has written. Trust me when I tell you, you will end up wanting a baby goat after reading this book.
