Had to read this when.i saw the puppy on the front. Great story of a woman who was lost but found herself again.
Elizabeth finds out after the death of her father that she has an uncle in England. Since she had just been removed from her high tech job it was a time to visit. She never expected to stay and you will have to read the rest for yourself. A satisfying read and a great ending.

Such a fun book - but more than that! Not only did the pages turn themselves in a lovely, warm, happily-ever-after story that took me away from the current news, but because it reminded me that I also need to be present. The life we have online is not a real life. Measuring our worth by the clicks/follows/comments is a losing game. Bonus that Schade also shares plenty of puppy raising and dog handling tips, educating people without banging them over the head about shy shelter dogs, new puppies, and working dogs. I read this book in only a few days but wished it hadn't ended. I'd love to know what happens next.
A big hearted book filled with hope, humor, and four-legged love! Victoria Shade swept me away with this adorable story, made me smile, and forget about the crazy World for a few hours. So if you’re looking for that perfect comfort read look no further. Elizabeth has lost her job and is feeling lost when she receives a phone call from an uncle she never knew she had. Her uncle informs her that since her father passed she is the owner of a parcel of land in the UK and he wants her to come see it. Elizabeth is intrigued, why has she never heard of this uncle? With nothing better to do she decides to head to the UK, meet her long lost uncle, sell the property, and quickly return to the US. She never expects to be charmed by her uncle and aunt, enchanted by a puppy, and enticed by a man.
Such a sweet satisfying story. I loved the characters, I loved the story, and I loved the setting. Elizabeth (who her uncle preferred calling Bess) was such a likable character even though she was sometimes frustrating and a little selfish. She had a big heart and I loved watching her grow throughout the course of the story. There are so many sweet relationships in the story both between humans and humans, and humans and their furry friends. It was great to watch the relationship between Elizabeth and her aunt and uncle Bloom, seriously this book made me wish I had a long lost uncle somewhere out there. The romance in the story was a bit of a slow burn but so worth it. This is just a feel-good book that will give you the warm fuzzies.

A lovely tale about family, coming, home, grief & a dog. Just loved it!
After getting fired from her tech startup job, Elizabeth wants (1) revenge and (2) a more prestigious new job. But first, she gets a call from an uncle she didn't know existed who says she's the owner of a plot of land in England. She sets aside her career plans for a two week trip. But when new family, friends, love interests, and an adorable puppy enter her life, it's harder to leave than she expected.
Sometimes you just want to read a happy little dollop of whipped cream of a novel. A pandemic leading to a global crisis is one of those times. This fuzzy little book was exactly what I needed during a storm of anxiety and stress. I love dogs, so the cover wasn't a turn-off for me, but I will say that it's not exactly a classic dog-focused book. There are lots of cute puppy scenes, sure, but there's a lot more going on in this novel too: big character arcs, career drama, beautiful landscapes, and more. I'm pretty over the "millennial learns there's more to life than her smartphone" bit, and the ending was a little anticlimactic. But overall, this was a fun book that definitely lightened my mood. And for that, I'm very grateful.
Thanks to Berkley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Heartwarming, charming, and absolutely adorable. I loved this book! Again, gorgeous little dog on the cover. I couldn’t ignore this book even if I’d tried!
Initially, I found Elizabeth Barnes to be shallow, with her mind only on revenge and how to get more Instagram followers. She was unrelateable to me. I really didn’t like her at all.
As the story progressed, I began to understand her. She grew as a character as her circumstances changed. I loved her learning how to train her dog and her relationship with Rowan.
The secondary characters were wonderful. The animals were awesome. This book made me laugh, cry, and long to be in a quiet English town with my own dog. Highly recommended, especially for dog lovers!

First, shouldn't it be 'Who Rescued Whom'?
I love a main character I wanna slap halfway through a good story.
And dogs.
A delightful, entertaining, warming read.
