Grate second book in the series really loved poppy and Mac’s story. I did not like Mac at first as he came across as selfish but as his story developed
it was clear why he was so careful with money and i grew a new respect for him.

Chasing Dreams at Wagging Tails Dogs' Home by Sarah Hope
I received an advance review copy for free thanks to Rachel's Random Resources and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Blurb
After a difficult break-up, Poppy is keen to put the past behind her and what’s better than some relaxing time with her aunt in the picturesque Cornish village of West Par. Life at her aunt Flora’s Dogs’ Home is anything but relaxing. When a poor little pup is stranded at the gates, Poppy takes them for a check up at the local vet, hoping against hope they'll be fine. And there she meets the vet who is so charming and experienced with the dogs, but selfish and – dare she say it – money-grabbing with his clients. But underneath that cold exterior, she's sure there's more to the story. If only she could convince him to open up. Because without him, the future of Wagging Tails isn't so assured...
My Opinion
This is the second book in the series and whilst it can be read as a standalone I would recommend reading the series in order. With returning characters and a lot of dogs there is a lot to appeal to the reader, especially the animal lovers out there. With short chapters it is easy to read 'just one more chapter' before putting the book down.
Whilst Sarah Hope has written a heart-warming tale about how community will come together to help a charity, she has also touched on very important real-life topics. With all that is going on Sarah has still managed to write a festive book that will leave you ready for the upcoming festivities.
Rating 4/5
