Today I am excited to share with you my review of this brilliant romantic comedy from Zara Stoneley. Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources for inviting me to join the tour, and for my copy of the ebook in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Book Description
One dog. Two strangers. An unfurgettable romance.
Wanted: someone nice, normal and trustworthy to housesit a beautiful cottage in the Lake District while the owner is away on a business trip. Must like dogs.
Wanting to escape from crap bosses and useless boyfriends, Becky jumps at the chance of being a dog sitter and the perfect escape – rest, relaxation and a very cute pooch called Bella.
But looking after Bella comes with a catch, namely gorgeous, brooding, Chris Hemsworth-worthy Ash James, who claims Bella is his dog and will stop at nothing to get her back!
Becky’s not about to hand over lovely Bella to any Tom, Dick or Ash. She’s determined to watch every move Ash James makes…even if it gets her very hot under the collar.
My Review
This is such a fun and romantic read that I loved from beginning to end.
First we meet Becky, an illustrator who's confidence is at an all time low as she has just been dumped by her boyfriend and also lost her job.
Becky decides she needs to get away for a while to take her mind off of her ex, and after seeing an advert for a house sitter/Dog sitter in a beautiful home in the Lake District Becky is soon packing her bags and heading for some much needed escapism.
After a very eventful journey Becky finally arrives at the house and meets the very lively and adorable Cockapoo Bella.
Along with looking after Bella comes a long list of rules as Bella is a big Instagram star. The main rule though is that Becky is to never let Ash, Georgie's ex to ever get his hands on Bella. Becky is also forbidden to even talk to Ash.
Ash does arrive at the house to see Bella and Becky is shocked by how handsome Ash is and it is obvious just how much he also loves Bella too.
Becky is determined that Ash will not get Bella, but the more she gets to see him the more she likes him. Maybe he isn't such a bad guy after all and it helps that he is just so handsome. Maybe it isn't just Bella that is enjoying being around Ash either.
This is such a wonderful, fun and romantic read that I loved. The setting of the book within the Lake District does sound idyllic and the perfect place to mend a broken heart. It is also the perfect spot for Becky to make some decisions about her future and does make her feel more creative again.
The character of Becky was so lovely to get to know. She loves her job and has worked hard to get to where she is. She has lost confidence in herself after the toxic relationship she was in but it is great to see that grow again while she is away.
The handsome Ash sounds positively dreamy and you can easily see why Becky finds him so attractive. He does have some secrets in his past though which come to light as the story progresses and you realise just how much he needs Bella.
Bella the delightful Cockapoo is definitely the star of this book and I enjoyed reading all of the mischief she can get into and tricks that she can perform.
This book is so much fun to read the story flows well and has a brilliant balance of both sentiment and humour. Some parts will really make you laugh out loud.
This is another outstanding read from Zara Stoneley and is one not to be missed.
