How lovely to be able to feature Zara Stoneley's latest romcom, The Dog Sitter. today. I always enjoy her books and you can read my reviews of
Bridesmaids here , The Wedding Date
here, Four Christmases and a Secret here and The First Date, here.
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 Thoughts
Set in the beautiful Lake District, you join Becky in her stint as house sitter and dog sitter and wouldn't it be wonderful to be actually there? There are some lively moments concerning Bella, the Cockerpoo, and you soon realise that Ash, the house owner's ex, is determined to get 'his dog back',. Becky settles into the idyllic surroundings and slowly, her confidence in her creative abilities begins to come back.
This is a fun, entertaining read which kept me hooked- a real relaxing read. The house sitter turns out to be an Instagram influencer and there are some ludicrous limits she goes to for the perfect picture which raise a smile. Becky can see through the gloss which is put on to the pictures and I enjoyed her reactions to some of the 'treats' which had been lined up for the cockerpoo. Romance and humour, all tied up with some gorgeous characters and a fantastic setting. What's not to like?
In short: Fun and games in the Lakes!
