Once Upon a Puppy

Once Upon a Puppy


Pine Hollow, Book 2

by Lizzie Shane

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


Deenie has been fighting against her conformist family since she was a kid. As the family black sheep she has been able to find herself on her world travels inspired by her eccentric aunt who always supported her…


Now it’s her time to support her, since her dementia is worsening, Deenie is in Pine Hollow visiting her aunt every chance she gets, in hopes of helping her keep her memories.


But Deenie is itching to hit the roan again, so while she is here caring for her aunt, she is also working to refill her travel fund… so when Connor, the epitome of what her family would want her to be asks for help training his unruly dog she hesitantly takes the high paying gig.


Soon Connor is taking part in the lessons along with his pup and as he and Deenie get to know each other it becomes obvious, that they could expand on this working relationship to mutually benefit both of them by fake dating each other for their work and family events!


These two start to realize that their pretend chemistry isn’t pretend at all, but how can Connor trust Deenie when she is looking for her next adventure while Deenie fears that Connoer will clip her wings…


I loved seeing Connor loosen up and start to enjoy life with Deenie’s influence. These two opposites made a great pairing and it really showed, as they stared to fake date and made their public appearances together. They made the other person better- it was a joy to see.


Interestingly enough, this book really reminded me of Abby Jimenez’s Life’s Too Short, with I also really enjoyed.



Once Upon a Puppy by Lizzie Shane is scheduled to release May 25th, 2021.



I received a complimentary copy of this book from Forever Publishing and NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
