Sally Bright Baynard is a high flying divorce lawyer with a lot on her plate when her ex husband, who presides over local court, calls her in to help with a case - and become the lawyer for a dog stuck between two warring parents. Now on top of looking after her ailing mother, Sally must look after Sherman and determine which owner he is better off living with - and not fall in love with him in the process.

This was a really lovely, easy to read book that I flew through and was one of those type of books that felt a bit like a balm to the soul and just a whole load of nice! Which I really appreciated it.

This is a great book for anyone who loves a nice contemporary story that flows really well, has some really lively characters - both main characters and side characters like Gina and Dolores - as well as perfect for anyone who loves dogs because Sherman is just the cutest thing ever and even made me think about a mini schnauzer in my future!

The side plot in this book is sad as Sally's mother is living with Alzheimer's and it is slowly getting worse, and Sally needs to think about looking at care homes for her. The descriptions of Sally's mom and the little things that seem so simple but are hard for her now was really sad to read about and it could be upsetting for people who have experienced loved ones suffering from the same disease.

I do think parts of this book were a bit too fast for my liking and I do think it's because it's a shorter book (about 250 pages on Kindle) and the author wanted to have everything in there. Sally's relationship with the vet seemed to go from zero to 100 in literally a few minutes. I was really disappointed that Sally didn't adopt Carmen the beagle (Poor Carmen!) at the end as I really expected her to do that.
