Unleashed Holiday by Victoria Schade

 Unleashed Holiday by Victoria Schade is fun holiday book that also happens to include very cute dogs.  Chelsea Higgens is a dog trainer with a thriving business.  She loves the location of her business and her neighbors.  But, when Andrew, a former acquittance, moves into her building to start a gym business with his unruly dog her troubles begin.   

This enemies to lovers book is funny, thoughtful, and had delightful animals.   The characters were well developed and the author did a nice job sharing their backstory.  It was enjoyable to learn about dog training and hanging out with the Chelsea’s and Andrew’s dogs. The fall and Christmas setting was festive and charming. 

I appreciated the themes of family, friendship, and not judging others since you have not walked in their shoes.  I loved rooting for Andrew and Chelsea and appreciated their happily ever after.  I recommend Unleashed Holiday by Victoria Schade.
