Sweet story with backbone
This is a well read romance but with earthy, gritty real aspects that lift it above a standard chick- lit story
The characters are very well written and the talented reader really brings the book to life
Very pleasant and satisfying audiobook

Brilliant story!
What a spectacular story, so beautifully written with a poetic almost musical narration that did the writing justice. I love how characters from other Lucy Dillon books have been woven into this one. I do hope there’s another book taking over where this one left!

Dreadful narrator
The book is wonderful - like all of hers. But this narrator is truely dreadful. Scottish characters sound like they’re from Belfast, Yorkshire becomes Liverpool - and some words - such as secretary, become secatary. Really distracting to the story. Please don’t use her again

Lovely twist
really enjoyed the story, something a little different with characters that had hard decisions to make.

Engaging but flawed
I've read two of Lucy Dillon's novels previously and enjoyed them; there are always dogs with fabulous personalities and this novel is no exception. This novel had mixed reviews but I thought it was worth a try. I'm not sorry I listened but overall, it seemed to draw me in but not quite deliver. I was immediately intrigued by the plot; not a standard romance trope. And yet... Jeannie's humanity was real, her desire to "do the right thing" a believable premise but after a promising start, the story felt as if it were plodding verbosely to a conclusion that could have been seen coming in Chapter 5. A few of the supporting characters drew me in, I liked that the author was approaching marriage from a slightly more complex perspective, the puppy farm rescue was endearing. I kept listening to see how the conclusion would be written and characterised despite knowing where it was going, but felt the last hour & a half drew too much together in a simplistic, almost trite way, like the stories we wrote as children that went on and on and then suddenly, in one page, wrapped up. I would concur with other comments regarding the narrator's inconsistency with accents.

Charlie Coletta is fantastic.
This story is average, but Charlie Coletta does a fantastic job of the characters. Her accents were really good. I would buy an audio book just to hear her perform.
