Goodreads: A few rough breaks lead a woman at the end of her leash to journey across the pond to fetch a surprise inheritance--but the dogs she rescues along the way have other ideas.
The plan was simple: Elizabeth would suffer through a quick trip to her late father's family homestead in the English countryside, try not to think about how she was unjustly fired from her dream job, claim her inheritance, and hop on the next flight back to Silicon Valley where she can get her life back on track.
The plan does not include rescuing an abandoned black and white puppy. Or bonding with her long-lost aunt and uncle, their Border Collie, and their two very opinionated sheep. Or falling for the handsome local who runs the town's craft brewery. As Elizabeth's brief visit to Fargrove turns into an extended stay, she discovers that she has more in common with the new puppy than she realized.
Kritters Thoughts: Elizabeth is recently out of a job and at a crossroads, while recovering from job loss she gets a call and some information that she has family in England that would like to meet her and give her her inheritance. So with nothing to lose and no current ties to CA, she heads to England for what could be a quick trip, but of course it isn't!
I loved this story. Although the plot isn't anything new - "oh I have family I didn't know about and inheritance", but for some reason this one felt unique and different and I liked it. I think it is a combo of loving Elizabeth the character and dogs! I love how there kept being great reasons for her to stay in England and to continue to get to know these new family members.
This is one of those sweet cute books that is perfect for a weekend read or could even be a beach read. I love when I come across a book that has a great storyline, but is all just nice and sweet and easy to read.
Rating: definitely a good read, but can't read two in a row
