My Thoughts

A fun and fluffy tale full of love, friendship, and sloppy dog kisses!🐶

This adorable story was comfort food for my heart and soul… sometimes you just need a lovely story that will put a smile on your face and a wag in your tail… this is the fifth book in Beth Kendrick’s Black Dog Bay series and can absolutely without a doubt be read as a standalone…. this was my first book in the series, but I have every intention to go back and read the previous books… A perfect palate cleanser to throw in between all those dark and twisty reads…

Joslin was out running one day saves the life of a purebred show dog, and before she knows it she’s become a dogsitter…. it’s a good thing Joslin adores dogs, even though her mom didn’t let her have one as a child…. before she knows it the three dogs that she is sitting have completely captured her heart… and Curtis, Carmen, and Hester completely captured mine as well!

There was a lovely romance in the story but it was a realistic slow burn that was kind of in the background… I really love that, because it allowed this book to explore some other really wonderful relationships…. my favorite of those being the friendship between Joslyn and Bri…. these girls had such a strong friendship the ultimate besties, everyone needs a Bri in their life, or a Joslin… The relationship between Joslyn and her mother was also charming, complicated, but charming…. The romance was sweet and satisfying even though it was understated…

This book is guaranteed to make you feel good about all creatures big and small, two legged and four! The next time you need a book pick me up, pick this one up! Absolutely recommend!🐾

the Book

From the author of Once Upon a Wine, a new novel set in the charming seashore town of Black Dog Bay, Delaware.

When everything has gone to the dogs . . .

When Jocelyn Hillier is named legal guardian for the late Mr. Allardyce’s pack of pedigreed Labrador retrievers, her world is flipped upside down. She’s spent her entire life toiling in the tourism industry in Black Dog Bay and never expected to be living the pampered life of a seasonal resident in an ocean side mansion, complete with a generous stipend. But her new role isn’t without its challenges: The dogs (although lovable) are more high-maintenance than any Hollywood diva, the man she wants to marry breaks her heart, and she’s confronted at every turn by her late benefactor’s estranged son, Liam, who thinks he’s entitled to the inheritance left to the dogs.

Jocelyn has worked too hard to back down without a fight, and she’s determined to keep her new fur family together. As she strives to uphold the “Best in Show” standards her pack requires, Jocelyn finds love, family, and forgiveness in the most unexpected places.
