Reviewed by Helen
Oh this is a fun, witty, moving and absolutely gorgeous story, Stefanie London has bought us the first in her new series and it is a must read, filled with all of the feels of a fabulous romance this one will keep you turning the pages as we get to know Camilla the Dachshund and Theo and Isla.
Social media consultant Isla Thompson is good at what she does, that is until a mistake that will take her career away. Now Isla has no job she is an outcast in the world she loves and she has a young sister to care for one that she loves so much after all they have been through, a chance meeting in Central Park brings her in contact with Theo Garrison the hermit of New York and his dog Camilla, will life change for Isla and how will it change?
Theo does not mix with people they call him a hermit for a reason, he runs the family publishing business and there are few people that know him well, the recent loss of his grandmother has been hard and even harder still he now has the care of her dog Camilla and finding dog sitters proves hard with this beautiful but mean tempered dog. Walking her in Central Park a chance meeting with a beautiful woman who Camilla appears to like will change his life in such a good way.
Isla takes on the role of dog sitter not the career she really wanted but needs must, she gets to know Camilla while taking her for playdates psychic’s and appointments but she also gets to know Theo the recluse, she sees more in her boss than most people would and their friendship grows. Isla also discovers that pets make good social media characters and Isla is soon torn between going for her dreams or hurting Theo.
I loved this story so very much, it is beautifully written, filled with emotion and so much fun I laughed so much throughout this one and I was cheering Theo and Isla on. The ending had me in happy tears and sighing to see Theo open up and for two people who deserved so much to find such love and happiness. This is one that I would highly recommend don’t miss out and I can’t wait for the next one.
My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my copy to read and review
