Life would be idyllic if everyone else was on the same page…

Puddleduck Vets Practice is busier than ever.

Phoebe Dashwood is juggling the usual crazy animal antics of her quirky clients, whilst organising the wedding of her bridezilla grandmother and thankfully dating her perfect man.

Phoebe loves every minute of being a New Forest vet, even if she hardly has time to catch her breath. If only she could find some quality time for her and the man of her dreams, life would be perfect.

When an ex’s heartbreak stirs up some emotions from the past, Phoebe realises she must deal with some unfinished business. It would seem a miracle is needed to pull off a happy ending for everyone – but is it within Phoebe's power to work miracles?

Upliftiing, poignant and feel-good ficiton, perfect for the fans of Alison Sherlock, Sarah Hope and Lisa Hobman

I can't explain just how much I am absolutely loving this series, and this was another fabulous book in it. 

There is the mystery involving a horse, there is Maggie turning into a Bridezilla, there is a mental health storyline involving Sam's mum Jan and a whole lot more too. 

And above all there are Dalmatian puppies and Phoebe and Sam can't resist but adopt one themselves.  Roxie is adorable and it's making me want a puppy! 

There is enough background included that you can almost certainly read this as s standalone, and it was lovely catching up with Phoebe, Sam and even though she is no longer with him, Rufus too, in a rather surprising storyline, although that had been one sided inklings since the first book of the series. 

With some fabulous animals, a massive behaviour improvement from Puddleduck Pets most long term feline, and all manner of feel good outcomes for both animals and humans, this is another completely entertaining book in this series, that I devoured rather fast. 

And it left me wanting more, so I started the next book instantly (spoiler: it's brilliant too). 

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