Loved it.
This really is a lovely heart warming story, just what you need at this time of the year. Some short stories can feel rushed and forced, this a definitely not one of them.
I can't wait for the next Tindledale story.

After reading “The Great Christmas Knit off “ on Christmas Eve, I realised there are 4 books in the series. This was a short book set again in the run up to christmas in a rural village. It involved some of the characters I’d met in the earlier book, so was a lovely read when I got a few minutes on Christmas Day. This time, it was about rehoming a retired army dog and the community coming together to set up an animal shelter. Even if you are not an animal fan, it’s a comforting, Christmassy read.

2,5* not horrible, but definitely not a favourite by far.
I wouldn't have bought it, if I had taken a closer look at the author. I already read a other book by Alex Brown, which also was just too shallow and sickly sweet for my taste, but didn't realise it was the same author.
Way too sweet, over the top cute and "happy". I was a bit weirded out by the choice of love interest and the speed of things as well.
Absolutely predictable in ways, and just unrealistic in how perfectly everything is going. People always happen to be there at the ideal time, and just coincidentally want to throw their money or help at any problem. The little bit of drama that this book has its incredibly construed, and just had me sigh in exasperated
I wonder if the author ever had a dog, or knows anyone who is physically disabled. Neither felt even remotely well handled.
My E-Reader showed it at 177 pages, more than 50 of those were advertised and sample chapters of other books...
So all in all a quick and cute read, but nothing that really resonated with me sadly.

I was in tears by the end of the prologue to this - and the rest of the story didn't quite live up to that start. It's a nice bittersweet second chance at romance type story with a cute dog, but although I liked it, I wasn't quite sure the two halves of the story hung together right. But it was a sweet Christmassy read.
