About this ebook
'Such a funny, sparky book... An ideal read for anyone who is a fan of Christmas or dogs - or both!' Sophie Kinsella
Charlie hates the holidays, and this year is shaping up to be her worst yuletide ever. Her boyfriend has left her for his personal trainer, her flat is out of bounds after a gas leak, and her mother has gone to spend Christmas in Melbourne with her fifth husband. Finding herself single, mildly concussed and temporarily homeless, Charlie hesitantly agrees to dust off her wellies and spend the festive season in Devon, looking after Cosy Canine Cottages, her cousin Jez's dog-care centre.
However, her plans for a quiet rural Christmas with only the four-legged friends for company are dashed as soon as she meets Malcolm the deaf Great Dane, Hugo, his gorgeous (but engaged) owner, and Cal, the undeniably attractive but unbearably haughty and patronising local vet...
'Fabulous romantic escapism' Heat

Very enjoyable story set around Christmas in Devon at a dog boarding kennels. Charlie is staying with her cousin, Jez, in Devon while Charlie recovers for a few days after being hospitalised after an explosion at her flat brought the ceiling down on her, literally! Whilst there Jez has the option of visiting Lapland to visit someone she has been 'Viber'ing romantically for the past couple of years, but has never met, so Charlie agrees to dog-sit the kennels whilst she is away for a short break over the Christmas period. Charlie is a city person and doesn't like dogs (initially anyway!).... so why would Jez just dump the poor dogs on her, even if Charlie agreed?! Anyway throw in a lovely, albeit grumpy, vet (who mellowed as the story went on), a handsome, rich but completely clueless Great Dane owner, some really gorgeous dogs, puppies, dog-napping, lots of snow and you have an amusing, snowy, lighthearted, very enjoyable Christmas themed story.
About the author
NATALIE COX is a lifelong fan of romantic comedy and decided to write her own when she finally ran out of stuff to read. She is also a big fan of dogs and wrote this book with an ancient chocolate Labrador panting by her side. Together, they placed second in the Dog-And-Owner-Most-Alike Competition at their local county show, and no doubt would have taken home the trophy if they'd worn matching collars. Sadly, the day she received the UK publication offer for this book, Natalie's canine muse went to that great dog park in the sky. She divides her time between the Brecon Beacons in Wales and London.
