The Twelve Dogs of Christmas by Lizzie Shane
5.0
I wasn't expecting this grumpy/sunshine, single Dad, dual POV romance to be such a standout Christmas read for me this year but it really, REALLY was!!
Full of small town charm ala Stars Hollow (the town is even called Pine Hollow!), this story sees Ally Gilmore (!) - a big city photographer coming home for Christmas only to end up fighting to save her grandparent's local animal shelter, get homes for the last 12 dogs and try not to fall for Ben West, the town Grinch and single Dad to his dead sister's ten year old daughter.
I couldn't get enough of these characters, the quirky dogs who find their way into the perfect homes or the way Ally and Ben fight their feelings only to learn that love is worth taking a chance on.
This author has written for Hallmark Movies before and I completely understand why. This book was great on audio and reads like the very best feel-good Christmas movie you could ever want to watch during the holidays.
Highly recommended especially for fans of Melanie Jacobson. I can't wait to read more stories in this series and fingers crossed they'll come out on audio soon too!
Steam level: Kissing only
