KIRKUS REVIEW

An ex-cop finds himself in the soup when he helps an old friendprotect his fiancee. ?

In the years since Daniel Whelan (No Holds Barred, 2012,etc.) left the Bristol police, he’s remained friends with Jo-Ji Matsuki, whotook over Dan’s post as dog-wrangler. So when Jo-Ji asks him to help him playbodyguard to his partner, Tamiko, who’s being followed by a mysterious guy in ahoodie, Dan once again asks his boss, Fred Bowden, for leave from his job as alorry driver. Fred assents grudgingly, and Dan heads off with Taz, his German shepherd,for Maiden Ashton, the village where Jo-Ji and Tamiko live. Their small houseis busy and crowded, since massage therapist Tamiko and beautician Karen bothsee clients there. Siamese cats Shinju and Yasu resent Taz’s intrusion intotheir territory. And while they live outdoors, Babs and Rolo, Tamiko’s horses,add to the general commotion because they need their stalls mucked out andtheir coats brushed. Things get even more hectic when Tamiko’s sister, Hana, onthe run from her abusive boyfriend, Samir Jafari, shows up with her 4-year-oldson, Jahan. Tamiko distracts them by taking them to a horse show, where theymeet other breeders like Boo Travers. But their idyll is cut short when Hana iskilled in a hit-and-run accident while driving Tamiko’s car. Tamiko is sopreoccupied with grief over her sister and concern for Jahan that Dan and Jo-Jiare left to wonder whether Tami was the real target all along.

Stacey seems ready to merge his dog and horse franchises in apleasing puzzler. Will Shinju and Yasu join in, as rivals to Midnight Louie andJoe Grey?

Lauren Conrad On Why Nothing Will Ever Be Like 'Laguna Beach'

Waiting around for another "Laguna Beach"? Don't hold your breath.

According to the show's star Lauren Conrad, what made the MTV series so unique was that it aired before reality TV blew up.

"There was an innocence to it because none of us were doing it to get any deals or other ventures -- we were just all friends and it sounded cool so we did it," the reality TV alumna, who moved on to "The Hills," told Us Weekly. "We didn't know what we were really doing, so I think it was this very interesting time where people didn't have ulterior motives. We were just filming a documentary."

"It was just a big group of friends being themselves," she said. "I think it's impossible to do that in this day and age of reality TV."

Conrad may not be looking to star in a reality TV show any time soon, but she told The Huffington Post that she's hoping to get into behind-the-scenes work.

"Honestly, being behind the camera sounds a lot more exciting. I was always interested in that, I think, because it was so taboo for me to know about when I was involved in television," Conrad said. "They kept it so far away from me. It was all I wanted to know."

Do you think there could be another reality show like "Laguna Beach"? Sound off in the comments.
