My Review:

This is a contemporary romance in which opposites attract!

Grace Sheldon spent her childhood living on a commune with her parents, only moving to live with her grandmother to attend school when she was sixteen. Now she’s inherited her grandmother’s home but she never dreamt the tax bill would be so huge and the bank is threatening to foreclose on her. She’s a free-spirited, freelance photographer but also takes on other jobs to help pay the bills. She’s going to work as an office assistant at a soon to open dog training facility for a month and is shocked to discover that her new boss is her new next door neighbour and, although he has a bouncy, out of control dog, he’s a plan first operator!

This is a fun story, with plenty of laughs and some great characters- both human and canine. It includes a young girl struggling with autism, a group of ex-military vets who are in need of a second chance, a horrific ex-girlfriend, interfering brothers and dreams in a delightful story that’s one to put a smile on your face despite what’s happening in your world. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and have no hesitation in recommending it.

Thank you to Entangled Publishing and NetGalley for my copy which I voluntarily read and have honestly reviewed.

Synopsis:

Free-spirited Grace Sheldon is used to living on a tight budget as a freelance photographer. But nothing short of a miracle could produce the thirty thousand dollars she owes on the house she’s inherited. Without steady employment, the bank refuses to give her a loan. Working a temp job won’t give her nearly enough, but she’ll take any little bit she can get until she figures out a solution. Her first day, though, she realizes this is no ordinary office—and her handsome new boss is no ordinary man.

After Sawyer Rivera’s well-planned career in Seattle officially imploded all he’s looking for is a small beach town where he can open a dog training facility and start a simple life. Except, his new office assistant is anything but. Grace is carefree, artsy, and doesn’t know a thing about dogs. The woman has pet chickens! She’s also funny, kind, and the best part of his day.

Grace is his complete opposite—and completely refreshing. But when her month of temp work is over, she could disappear from his life for good. Sawyer realizes he has just one chance to try to change their fate.
