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.

Such an incredibly amusing opening chapter, I was giggling from the first few pages.  

And Bella, what an absolutely gorgeous dog she is, and so so clever and friendly. 

Becky is meant to be dog sitting and house sitting, to look after Bella, but as she arrives she needs to be extra careful not to let Georgie's ex Ash go near to Bella. He is apparently out to dog nap her back, and she has been forbidden to even speak to Ash! 

And what a handsome, swoon worthy guy Ash is, it's not wonder Bella is always happy to see him, and why Becky is having all sorts of thoughts about him, even though she has been told he is the enemy! 

Becky has taken on this dog sitting job in the hope a break in the Lake District will reignite her inspiration for her art, she is a talented illustrator and cover designer, but her own ex was a nasty piece of work and her self believe and confidence in her work is at an all time low. 

The Lake District scenery is gorgeous and everything is described so so well, and I loved Becky and Bella going on walks and what wildlife they may come across. 

If you are looking for an entertaining story featuring a hot guy, gorgeous dog, slightly delusional person, and a character who gains in confidence then this is the one for you.  It's an incredibly pleasurable read, with moments to make you giggle, and gasp! 

Thank you to One More Chapter and Netgalley for this copy which  I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
