I have to say that a dog named Hog stole this book. Yes, my favorite character in this book is a fraidy cat, support animal dropout, 110-pound St. Bernard/Chewbacca farting dog.
Emma Hart is recovering from being hit by a car and spending time in a coma. She has had to relearn to walk and is slowly working her way back to a life. But while she was in the coma, her fiance was not there to support her. Instead, he decided to sleep with her best friend and roommate and got involved with her.
Emma is determined to find some sort of normal life despite all of the financial worries she has over paying her medical bills from the accident and another needed surgery for her leg. A surgery which insurance is denying. Plus she has to find a way to make a living that allows her to work within her limits.
She is given the chance to buy the local doggy daycare but she isn't quite able to swing the buy all on her own. But her evil nemesis from high school is the property manager of the place and turns out to be her savior. Ali Pratt has been working for her uncle's property management company and is looking for something of her own. And having the chance to be a partner gives her the chance to learn to be friends and interact with people.
Emma also realizes she has fallen in love with Simon her evil PT along the way. He is her landlord, the person who believes in her and the perfect man for her.
This book is a fun fast read. I didn't want to start this novel because I wanted to make sure that I could make it last. But sadly, when I pick up novels by Ms. Shalvis, I now need to make sure that I have my Lemon Oreos and a beverage of choice close by to nourish me as I speed read it. And then I cry because it is over.
I always love how well developed that storyline and characters are in Ms. Shalvis' books. You can tell she has fully researched the careers of her lead characters. Not many people get how hard PT is and the care that physical therapists provide. Or that they do want to help you live your life to the best you can with any physical limitations you may have.
Although this is book #7 in the Wildstone series, it can be read as a stand alone. These books can be read in any order as well. And to be honest, they are worth a read. Yes, all of them.
I did receive a copy of this novel in advance from the publisher in exchange for a fair and unbiased review. I gladly accepted this advanced reader copy because I love Ms. Shalvis' fictional webs that she weaves.

𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙁𝙤𝙧 𝘽𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙨 by Jill Shalvis is the perfect 🏖 read, and is part of the popular 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘦 series (although it is a great standalone as well). 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆What would you change if you had to start your life—and love life—over again?When Emma Harris wakes up from a coma she learns that her fiancé and her BFF have fallen in love, she’s lost her job, and the life she knew is gone. Overwhelmed but grateful to be alive she starts over from scratch. Not as easy as it sounds, of course. But she’s never been a quitter, even if she wishes she could quit rehab, where her hot but evil physical therapist, Simon, puts her through the wringer. Eager for a new beginning, Emma opens a doggy day care. Unfortunately, the only space she can afford is owned by her childhood nemesis Ali Pratt. But hey, she’s been through worse, right? She tries to roll with the punches, but a friend drops his grandpa off at the doggy day care in desperation then on top of that, she and Ali bring the term ‘frenemies’ to a whole new level. And then another grandparent shows up. And another.In the midst of all that, Emma realizes she’s accidentally fallen for Evil PT. But the most horrifying thing of all is that Ali just might have turned into the best friend she’s ever had. And as Emma grows from the pain of her past and takes on her new path, she comes to realize that life isn’t what you’re given, it’s what you make of it.Thanks to @jillshalvis and @suzyapprovedbooktours and @williammorrowbooks for the #gifted paperback. I love Jill’s books - they are funny, emotional and light but still touching. Sometimes that’s a great break in between heavier reads. I will need to go back to the top of the series now since this was so good! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
