A New Leash on Love is set in the same world as Frosted by the Girl Next Door from the same authors, however, you do not need to have read the other novel before reading this one; both can be read as stand alone stories. This novel follows two incredibly likable and realistic main characters, is light on angst and unnecessary drama, and highly features two adorable dogs. It is set in winter, with a holiday backdrop, but the holidays are not the primary focus of the story.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a classic contemporary romance story.

I received an ARC of this novel from NetGalley.

Frosted by the Girl Next Door was the first book I read by these two authors. I didn’t realize A New Leash on Love was about the same town and characters. I did enjoy this book and it delved into the relationship between Kit and Shawn. It was a nice love story with lots of good spice. Too bad someone didn’t give Adam a blanket party, though. He was one giant jerk. Well done, ladies.

It was nice to see a story from another perspective and see how Shawn and Kit overcame their obstacles and if they were ready for what comes next.

Add in A dog and it’s a recipe to hook most

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

Another Christmas book played out in Rocky Springs. This time with the 2nd McCoy sibling, Shawn, and Casey's friend Kit.

Shawn and Kit get together thanks to the dog Kit is adopting, Olive. Initially they never think it can become serious between the two of them since Kit is dead set to leave Rocky Springs and Shawn is so stuck in that town. Their chemistry is so strong so they fall for each other and they both get a chance to develop and finally get a chance to be the person they have aimed for all along.

I recommend this book and you should also read Frosted by the Girl Next Door by the same authors.
