In Dog We Trust by Beth Kendrick
5.0
I received an advanced copy of this book from First to Read in exchange for a fair and honest review. I also read it as a stand-alone, not realizing it was part of a series, and it read well.
Overall - so cute!
Jocelyn is a dog-loving, warm-hearted person who is just trying to make a living doing laundry service in her tourist-trap hometown. In saving a dog’s life, she’s hired by a wealthy, elderly man who cares for only his dogs to make sure his three pure-bred, prize winning Labradors are well-loved and well-walked.
This book is chock full of fun dog (and puppy!) moments, as well as great family and friend relationships. I really loved the best friend Bree, who is smart and funny with romantic troubles of her own, and she and Jocelyn support each other like the fantastic friends they are.
While fun, this book also has on-point views about the locals having to mix (and trying to survive) the seasonal rich who drive up the price points in real estate, restaurants, and living conditions. Jocelyn tries to make her way and mix in this world, both for the dog’s sake and her own romantic notions, all while trying to believe that money would never change her. When she does get a glimpse of that type of money though… she discovers the problems and attention that can come along with it.
Overall, very fun and well written. A very enjoyable read!
