Synopsis

A delightful holiday romance about a small-town single dad and an animal rescue owner as they try to find forever homes for a dozen lovable pups before Christmas.
Pine Hollow has everything Ally Gilmore could wish for in a holiday break: gently falling snow in a charming small town and time with her family. Then she learns some Grinch has pulled the funding for her family's rescue shelter, and now she has only four weeks to find new homes for a dozen dogs! But when she confronts her Scroogey councilman nemesis, Ally finds he's far more reasonable -- and handsome -- than she ever expected.
As the guardian of his dog-obsessed ten-year-old niece, Ben West doesn't have time to build a cuddly reputation. But he does feel guilty about the shelter closing. So he proposes a truce with Ally, agreeing to help her adopt out the pups. As the two spend more time together, the town's gossip is spreading faster than Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve. And soon Ben is hoping he can convince Ally that Pine Hollow is her home for the holidays. . . and the whole year through.

Goodreads review by Sarah Louise on December 10, 2020

Sometimes I just need something completely lighthearted and fun during the holiday season, and this happens to be one of the sweetest Christmas romances I’ve stumbled across. Despite referring to himself as the Scrooge of the small-town of Pine Hollow, Ben is more than his outward testiness. Councilm......more

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

4.5 stars This was a cute and warm-hearted Christmas read made even more cuter with the inclusion of the world's master race: dogs. Change my mind *mic drop*. I loved both of the two main characters Ally and Ben because they both were charming and humorous while also being relatable. Although I did lo......more
