Wow! Melissa did not disappoint. The Sunday Potluck Club continues. All the old gang has returned, this time the story focuses on Bridget . Trying to move on with her life, Bridget and her dogs move to a new apartment that is thankfully pet friendly. She meets a handsome, standoffish Wesley jogging with his dogs around the complex. Of course she and her dogs have other ideas about that. The story touches of Bridget struggle dealing with her grief from her mother’s passing. Trying to figure out how to go forward with her career, dealing with her meddling best friends and learning to reconnect to her family and love. Once again I am left wanting more, can’t wait for the next book.

Cute sweet romcom! I’m a sucker for pets in romance and this was no exception. Great romance that brought to mind the opening scene of 101 Dalmatians in a modern setting.

All Wesley wants to do is run with his dogs on an evening.
All Bridget wants to do is invite herself to Wesley’s run.

Together they form an unlikely friendship based on their mutual love of pets and running to avoid their real life problems.

Wednesday walks and wags is a beautiful story of growing up and understanding how pain and loss can change you and your outlook on life.

Bridget has never properly grieved the death of her cancer stricken mom and instead buries herself in new activities, taking so much on her plate that she may explode soon. Wesley on the other hand is standoffish and quite mysterious, avoiding the company of others.

With the help of her support system- Sunday Pot Luck crew, Bridget begins to accept that her future may take a different path than she originally intended and that it's okay to open her life and heart to new possibilities and maybe even her forever kiss.

Wednesday Walks and Wags is a heartwarming tale of what a family-napping, mint ice cream and a good cry can do!

My utmost appreciation to NetGalley and Kensington Books for providing me with an arc.

This review will be live on my blog from 26th June 2020 here: https://jesreadsit.wordpress.com/

Thank you so much to net galley for sending me a copy of this book. It sounded so cute and I was really expecting to enjoy it but it really just fell flat for me.

Wednesday, Wags and Walks by Melissa Storm a five-star read that will have your tail a wagging. This is number two in the Sunday Potluck Club series and I enjoyed this one much better that the first, it just seemed more detailed and had more plot. Bridget is running from her grief and as anyone who has lost someone close to them its easy to empathise and understand where she is coming from, it was a nice add with the dogs as it helped deal with the grief and added a levity even with the shelter aspect. This is a good story and Wesley added something to the story, he added an extra twist to the story.

Bridget is going through a lot, her mom has died and she just moved to a new apartment. She meets Wesley while he is out running with his dogs, she joins him and starts running. The author did a great job of balancing Bridget’s storylines, her friendships, her family dynamics, potluck club and Wesley.

“Wednesday Walks and Wags” is the second in a series “Sunday Night Potluck Club”. It’s not necessary to read the first book to enjoy this one. This book is a heartwarming story involving friendship, forgiveness, starting over, grief and dogs. So many layers to the book and heartwarming.

I have voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this title given to me through NetGalley. This book was just absolutely wonderful. It was just so easy to get lost in and I just couldn’t put it down. I just lost myself within this amazing story. I most definitely will read more by this author.

This is book two in the Sunday Potluck Club series. This story is about Bridget. She recently moved into a new pet friendly apartment, and while unpacking her things, sees the box of her mothers things. Still grieving the loss of her beloved mother, she hides the box until she is ready to go through its contents. She hopes that her busy schedule and pets will help he to take her mind off her grief. Then Bridget sees a new neighbor with his two dogs preparing to run. When she sees him again at the vet clinic she works at, he invites to to go on his evening runs with him. She decides to take him up on his offer and joins him. She soon realizes that he too is running from something. The two decide become strictly running partners and nothing more. But soon its obvious that will not happen.

I absolutely love this series, and the stories of Hazel (which is included in a book called Home Sweet Home, with stories by Ferm Michaels and Donna Kauffman as well), and Amy's story in the first book in this series, The Sunday Potluck Club. I was so excited to receive an early copy of this book and hear Bridget's story. This was a sweet, heartwarming, and wonderful book. The characters are wonderful, and you feel like they are your friends as well. This book had be laughing and crying. And I feel that I can relate to this story. I lost my own mother, though not to cancer, and everything that Bridget seems to think and feel, I did as well. I loved this book. I 100% recommend this series, bit it will pull at the heartstrings. Another amazing story by Melissa Storm. Can not wait for Nicole's story.

Could this book have been any more of a perfect follow up to The Sunday Potluck Club? This time instead of following Amy the story follows Bridget. As Bridget continues to avoid the grief over the loss of her mother the "club" tries to find ways to help her out of denial and into accepting her mother's profound loss. Complicating the story more is Bridget's love interest who has walls up that Bridget can't seem to break. Melissa Storm has a wonderful way of touching your heart and making you feel for each of the women she writes about. I can't wait to see which character she follows in her next novel.

The second in a series called Pot Luck Club, this book centres around Brigit trying to put her life back together following the death of her beloved mother from cancer. A trainee vet, volunteer at an animal shelter and member of the pot luck club she fills her time so much so she doesn't have to deal with her overwhelming grief. Then she meets Wesley, an unfriendly but handsome man in her new apartment building. Despite his initial hostility they become running partners. However, her grief and his secrets threaten this friendship. Can they both learn to move on from the past before it is too late?
Although grief is a major feature of this novel it is not depressing in any way. It is easy to like Brigit and feel her pain and it was great to see grief dealt with as a journey or a rollercoaster with its ups and downs. I loved the dogs and the focus on the animal shelter and the growing relationship between Wesley and Brigit. Wesley's secret was a shock but liked how it was resolved and also glad that Brigit made the choices she did regarding her own life.
The ending is quite emotional but also finally explained the title which had puzzled me all the way through. A great read. I'm looking forward to Nicohle and Corey's story in the next book.
