Max - Canine Concierge of Love
by 
Mariah Lynne
Contemporary Romance
He’s got fur; they have broken hearts.
A canine concierge named Max helps four lonely guests at a beautiful island resort leave their pasts behind and open their hearts to a second chance at love. In this sweet contemporary romance, Max’s sometimes clumsy, sometimes humorous, but always intentional ways of introduction will make you smile and tear up with joy!
A reader wrote, “Reading ‘Max’ is like watching a Disney romance. I loved it!”
More!

“Hi! My name is Max. Yes, I’m a dog and you’re probably a human reading this. Sure, I flunked out of guide dog training for disobeying commands, but did get high marks for personality, tail wagging, and my specialty - making humans happy. I’m so good at those, my favorite human Nate Pierson Innkeeper of The Two Turtles Inn, Sanibel Island Florida, named me Concierge in charge of Guest Happiness!
I love every human I meet like Dr. Aaron Swift who stayed here after his fiance, Beth, dumped him for his best man right before their wedding! Aaron cancelled his honeymoon too late to get his deposit back so he stayed here for his “non-honeymoon.”
As Concierge, I took him for walks and listened to his feelings before putting my own plan into action to mend his broken heart! I just happen to know a beautiful divorcee who might want to stroll with us.
My friend Mariah wrote about Aaron and my ‘other adventures.’ She says I have a lot of complications to solve like Beth who keeps trying to make Aaron unhappy.
Nate says I have a talent for this concierge business. So if you want to walk on the beach and chat, I’m the best dog for the job. You’ll see when you read my story!
As Nate says ‘Always Bet on Fur!’
Thanks for listening! I’ll see you at the Two Turtles Inn!
Your Friend,
MAX

The Inspiration for the story.
The character of Max is based on my real-life Max who like the dog in the story loved people and other
animals. Like the real Max, the Max in the story performed magic shows at our island rec center, served
as a demonstration dog for talks by a representative from the no-kill shelter with which I was affiliated
on the benefits of adopting a shelter dog, and loved to play with doggie toys. He shared his love with
everyone. In the book, his love and loyalty made good things happen romantically for four couples.
I sure could have used some of his unconditional love these past two years. 2022 and 2023 proved to be
some of the most difficult to date. Hurricane Ian took a direct hit September 28 , 2022 sending a fifteen-
foot storm surge to engulf the island we called home for over thirty years. We along with most islanders
lost our home and everything in it. But even though many memories and personal treasures cannot be
replaced, it’s the people, our family and friends and our pets, that are most important to our lives. My
sweet Max would remind all of us to hold our loved ones close, to be kind and caring, and help those in
need. Everything else will fall into place.
I hope you have fun reading about how Max helps people fall in love! I sure had fun writing it!
About the Author
Enjoy stories packed with mystery, history, and romance? Mariah Lynne writes stories that take her readers along on exciting journeys to distant times, with mysterious plot twists, and set in beautiful places. Her heroines are fearless, strong-willed, independent women whose memorable tales are sure to entertain you.

In SHADOWS ACROSS TIME, antique dealer Danielle deForet is tricked into an appraisal by an odd client who casts a spell sending them both back to a French castle in1559. Danielle must escape to save her life. She meets a handsome guard, falls in love, and together they plan a risky escape. THE LOVE GYPSY, in e-format and on audible, boasts unique characters, a murder, and just a touch of the paranormal. Her newest time travel adventure, THE DUCHESS' NECKLACE, in e-book and print format, tells a tale rich in Romance, Revenge and Royal Jewels. Claws For Justice, a short story murder mystery about cats, is included in NINE DEADLY LIVES. 

Mariah Lynne weaves the local flavors and characters of Southwest Florida into her stories. Living on a barrier Gulf Coast Island with her husband and dog, Max, a shelter adoptee, she loves the feel of sand under her feet as well as the animals and sea life that surround her. Max, a dolphin hunter, barks at dolphin sounds he can hear under the water before they surface. As a puppy, he jumped off the dock into the muddy waters of the back- bay hoping to connect with one. When he did not resurface, Mariah had to jump in quickly and save him. Because of Max, all of her heroines have pets. Show Less
