The Dog Share

 In Fiona Gibson's The Dog Share, this woman's fiction deals with two people finding each other on a Scottish island and share a delightful dog. Suzy Medley is a single mother with two teenage kids who lives in Glasgow and also writes obits for the local syndicated newspaper. But when her boyfriend Paul came up with an idea to own a distillery in Sgadansay Island and make it their own with his inheritance money. She could only do is agree with him and go for the ride. But it didn't last long when he left Suzy to deal with the financial mess he left behind and putting her into a difficult situation when he'd abandoned their relationship altogether.  Ricky Vance is a single father with a ten-year-old son and a music teacher. His girlfriend Meg wasn't who she thought she would be. His ex-wife left them years ago and had led an unstable life with drug use. But when news came about the closing of the distillery and his father Harry losing his joy. But when a lost dog came into her life, he was just what he needed as no one claimed him. Later, Ricky and his son met Suzy via Scout in a dog-sharing program when they can spend time together and knowing each other. During this time on the island, Scout brings delight to everyone around them and changed their lives around on the island with a sweet heartfelt ending that warms your heart.

 This book feels more like a woman's fiction novel than a contemporary romance to me. Or in some ways, it could be a combination of both into one. I did care for Suzy who had gotten the short end of the stick when Paul left her in the lurch with a mess of her own to deal with and handle. I could tell she's a very caring woman who needed a break and a change when she ventured on the island for beach walks. And Scout was adorable as I ever imagined to steal some scenes in the novel. My heart went to Ricky who had to deal with a deadbeat mom if you can call his ex that and sought a holiday with his son on the island. Sgadansay Island sounded dreamy and idyllic to talk strolls in the beach and enjoying the view. The theme of the story is about taking risks in life, whether it's in love, your career, or both, to find your true happiness.

If you love charming stories featuring dogs as the center of the plot, you'll love this endearing woman's fiction that has plenty of drama, hints of tension, sparks of romance, and lots of exciting bits.  Check out the Dog Share today.
