A review by pagespoursandpups
Christmas in Blue Dog Valley by Annie England Noblin

4.0

First of all- is this one of the cutest cover ever?!

If you are a dog lover like me, whenever a dog is on the cover, I have to investigate! This was the sweetest story and I enjoyed every single bit of it.

Read this if you love:
* small town setting
* grumpy sunshine trope
* characters who find their self-worth
*books with heart

I loved that this book featured a smart and independent main female character. I also loved that this book was light on the spice but had a good amount of romantic tension. The balance of heavier subjects and lightness felt perfect to me.

One thing I feel obliged to mention is that this book isn’t really about Christmas. It happens in a town that loves Christmas, is in the Nov-Dec time frame and spends a hot minute at the Christmas carnival the town hosts- but that is the extent of the Christmas feel. I wasn’t bothered by that- but I think it’s nice knowing that going in.

Definitely recommend this sweet, light and heartwarming story for a much needed HEA. I don’t always love an HEA- but I needed this one❤️

Thank you to @netgalley and @avonbooks @harpervoyagerus for the ARC to read and review.
