There’s no place like home…

Although dog trainer Sally is relatively new to Wagging Tails, the team she works with have quickly become her family and the dogs her friends.

But when Andy, the one that got away, turns up for a brief respite from the city, she is at a crossroads. As tempting as a life with him is, she loves her home of West Par, and anyway, she has responsibilities here.

Number one on that list is ensuring the dogs' home stays in business. A developer has been sniffing around wanting to buy the land, and the team is worried.

Sally will do anything to save her home and her friends’ livelihoods but the lure of reuniting with her lost love is strong. Is there a way for her to have both?

A cosy and heartwarming romance set in the beautiful Cornish countryside, perfect for fans of Sarah Bennett, Jo Bartlett and Philippa Ashley

There aren't enough words for how much I am absolutely loving this series, and this was another fabulous addition to it. 

I felt right at home almost instantly, having seen Sally in the previous books, and dog training and dog behaviour is absolutely fascinating. 

And there was a moment during the book that absolutely melted my heart to "Puddles" of mush. It really did show off the best parts of working in a dogs home. 

However it is a struggle for Wagging Tails' to stay in business especially when there is a property developer about, and there is a fight in Sally, Flora and Gina's hands to make sure the dogs home will survive. 

Sally also has her old love who comes back into her life, but whether they still have feelings for each other, you will have to discover for yourself. 

This was so enjoyable and I devoured the pages really quicky. I love books featuring animals, and this book and this series is just a joy to read.  I'm loving it so so much and looking forward to my next visit to the Wagging Tails.  Oh and if I could please visit, and give the dogs a cuddle, that would be amazing.

Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
