My Review of Summer at The Dog and Duck
I was sent this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Ellie has returned to the idyllic country village of Little Leyton to run the local pub, The Dog and Duck. She is just starting a relationship with Max, a wealthy businessman, but things, or should I say, people, are getting in the way. Firstly Max’s ex is back on the scene and then his teenage sister turns up with a whole load of problems. How will the relationship continue?
Summer at The Dog and Duck gives us all a peek into the realms of  English village life, where everyone knows everything about each other. The book gives a comforting warmth and the pages fly by effortlessly
The main character, Ellie is a hard-working, independent woman with a heart of gold. The relationship with Max is packed full of chemistry and I desperately wanted her to find the happiness she deserves….. but life just keeps getting in the way!
A charming, warm-hearted read from Jill Steeples.
