There's second chance romance and puppies and anxiety over the future and puppies and open communication and puppies and even some home renovation. Oh and puppies, did I mention puppies?

A nice warm small town romance story. Learned more about dog fostering than I thought I would :)

I'll be honest: I'm super picky when it comes to F/F romances, even pickier than I tend to be with M/M romances. I can count on fewer than the ten fingers of my two hands F/F romances that have stayed with me, so forgive me if I'm rather giddy over the fact that I can finally--FINALLY!--add a new title to that ever-so-short list. Rachel Lacey blew me away with her writing on this one, and it wasn't just a matter of her writing any ol' romance and adding LGBTQ characters in place of heterosexual ones. This really was the story of the journey that Phoebe took as a teen who feared the perceived ramifications of being a lesbian at sixteen to a nearly thirty-year-old rediscovering a part of herself that had been missing since she last saw Taylor, the love of her life. The dogs were a definite bonus and heartwarming scene-stealers to boot. The humans were up to snuff as well. There was nothing about Hideaway that I didn't love, which is why it gets five-plus stars.

This was my first read by this author, and I really liked the way she developed her characters and the story was just too cute. I loved all the puppies and how they rekindle their friendship over the birth of puppies. The relationship grows and flourishes and the book is just amazing.
