Welcome to your new cottage in the country - complete with grumpy vet, village gossip and a very muddy dog . . .

City girl Ella wants to take refuge in the country, lick her wounds and work out what she's going to do with the rest of her life. She certainly doesn't want to have a four-legged house guest or anything to do with village life. Unfortunately, the inhabitants of Wilsgrave have other ideas. 

Settling in to her godmother's house for a few months of R&R, Ella finds herself the reluctant babysitter of a badly behaved Labrador - and her plans of staying mainly indoors scuppered. But as she's forced into wellies and into the village's way of doing things, Ella meets people who make her think again about what she really wants out of life and love, starting with her new furry best friend. . .

A gorgeously romantic tale set in an idyllic countryside village, from the author of ebook bestseller Covent Garden in the Snow. Perfect for fans of Trisha Ashley and Katie Fforde.

I was so excited to read this novel by Jules Wake as I had read another by the author before and absolutely loved it (it was definitely my fave of the year so far!) so I knew I would enjoy this one. The cover is absolutely stunning, I love the bright colours, the flowers around the edge, the bright green fields and of course the cute dog in the centre!

The characters were all lovely and easy to read about, there wasn't a character that I didn't like and I found the whole storyline easy and such a pleasure to read. As with Jules' other novel, I was hooked from the first page and I loved it so much that I struggled to put it down! I loved the setting of the book as well, it sounded so idyllic and I honestly felt like searching for hotels around that area as it made me want to visit somewhere like that so much! It sounded so beautiful. The storyline itself was great, it was funny, heartwarming and lighthearted so was a joy to read.

I loved reading how the main characters story and relationship developed and was over the moon that there was animals (especially dogs!) involved in the novel, so I found it well worth the read and would 100% recommend you give this novel a try. Thank you to Netgalley and to the publisher for a chance to read this novel, which I have reviewed honestly.
