A Fresh Start in the Cornish Village: A completely heartwarming, uplifting romance from Sarah Hope (The Cornish Village Series Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 853 ratings

Escape to the Cornish countryside in this heartwarming romance about finding your feet - and finding your true love!

There’s no place like home…

Although dog trainer Sally is relatively new to Wagging Tails, the team she works with have quickly become her family and the dogs her friends.

But when Andy, the one that got away, turns up for a brief respite from the city, she is at a crossroads. As tempting as a life with him is, she loves her home of West Par, and anyway, she has responsibilities here.

Number one on that list is ensuring the dogs' home stays in business. A developer has been sniffing around wanting to buy the land, and the team is worried.

Sally will do anything to save her home and her friends’ livelihoods but the lure of reuniting with her lost love is strong. Is there a way for her to have both?

A cosy and heartwarming romance set in the beautiful Cornish countryside, perfect for fans of Sarah Bennett, Jo Bartlett and Philippa Ashley

    The Wagging Tails book series can be summed up in one word: cozy. It’s why I’ve read every single book. And this go around, we get to see the world from Sally’s perspective. Sally used to live a more mainstream lifestyle, with a background in legalities, but there was something magical about West Par and Wagging Tails. The opportunity to work with dogs and to open up her own business as a dog trainer feels like a dream come true–so much so, that the life she used to live can get to feeling like it is a distant memory lived by someone else. Until she runs into her ex-boyfriend, Andy.

    Her former world and her current one collides in an instant, bringing back a lot of past pain and heaps of regret. There is a reason she considers him as the one who got away. It was sweet to see how the two characters cautiously work towards trying to bridge the gap in their relationship, but at the same time, Andy’s behaviors are odd and at times, off putting. When they are spending time together, he receives phone calls that cut their time short. It always feels like there’s something more he wants to tell Sally, but he never seems to get it out–only to assure her that things are fine, even though she knows it can’t be true.

    Has he truly forgiven her for the past? It weighs heavily on Sally. Not to mention the recent drama with a developer who stops at nothing to try to convince the owner of Wagging Tails to sell. As the chapters unfold, the future of Wagging Tails becomes a real concern. Sally and the crew will do everything they can to ensure the safety and security of their beloved dogs’ home–I really loved the surprise birthday party they threw for one of their own, and the callback to some of the familiar dogs I remember from other books in this series. It was a really nice touch, and helped to show just how important it is to save this home!

    There were many different factors and themes at play within A Fresh Start at Wagging Tails Dogs’ Home. The need for security and trust–no matter the type of relationship you’re in. Solidifying what truly makes YOU happy, even if it might not make sense or meet the approval of others. And doing all you can for those you love and cherish, whether those you loved come in human or canine form. This was a great addition to the Wagging Tails book series–a definite five-star read!

    A Fresh Start at Wagging Tails Dogs' Home is the third book in the series. Though it is part of a series it can easily be read as a standalone without missing anything important.
    I love the fact that the book is focused on dog rescue and hope it inspires some to help dogs in some way: adoption, volunteering or even monetarily.
    The book is a real ray of sunshine, guaranteed to make even the darkest skies bright. After you're done reading your heart will be filled with gladness.
    The characters are well thought out and well developed, friendly sorts who want the best for the dogs and have a lot of empathy. The plot moves along at a medium pace, not getting offtrack. There is a light romance going, a second chance at love possibly. The focus is not on the romance though which was nice to see. The story is lighthearted but with some serious parts as well. Puddles stole my heart; I'm rooting for you little one. A sure win, once you start this book you'll be hooked.

    A Fresh Start at Wagging Tails Dogs' Home is the third book in the series The Wagging Tails Dogs' Home by Sarah Hope. It can easily be read as a stand-alone book.
    A book that is focused on rescue dogs that has a bit of romance in it also but not a lot which is ok for the story. I enjoyed the theme of recuse dogs needing love and more in their lives.
    The characters all connect so well for me in this book.
    Thank you Sarah Hope and Boldwood Books for the book.
    This is my personal review.

    POV ~ single 3rd
    Featuring ~ small town, slow burn, second chance, no steamage

    Sally is the dog trainer at Wagging Tails Dogs’ Home. While in town one day she sees her ex-boyfriend, Andy, who she has never stopped thinking about.

    There’s a developer that’s trying to build right behind the rescue and no one in this small town is thrilled about this. What I enjoy most about this series is everyone’s dedication to the dogs and the camaraderie within the rescue. They really go above and beyond to make these sweet pups feel comfortable while they wait for their furever home.

    The romance isn’t prominent and very slow burn. We’ve got some added family drama to add a little extra layer to Sally. Overall, while where the plot is taking us is quite obvious it was still an enjoyable cozy read.

    Series notes:
    I would actually say not totally necessary to read the first two books. Book 1’s main character has quite a bit of page time, but book 2’s does not.
