Free (Kindle UK) Christmas at the Dog & Duck [Chick-Lit Pub Reno Comedy w/Romance]

ATDrake · 10-20-2016, 05:04 PM

Christmas at the Dog & Duck by Jill Steeples is the 1st novel in her Dog and Duck series of humorously heartwarming chick-lit/women's fiction novels with f/m romantic comedy elements starring the future landlady of the eponymous soon-to-be-renovated pub, this installment a festive one setting her up with being downsized from her city accountancy job to return to a supposedly simpler life in her home village, which a cast of the obligatory quirky locals proceed to complicate, just in time for the holidays, free courtesy of publisher Head of Zeus' Aria digital-first imprint for newer authors and reprinting bestselling self-pubs.

Currently free @ Amazon UK (not available in the usual other countries when I spot-check assorted regional stores). Price-drop-check linkage for iTunes UK, Kobo, Google Play, if you're feeling optimistic.

Description (I like how they helpfully give you explicit ISBN info for buying the next book)
A perfect, feel-good romantic novel to curl up with this Christmas. A story of new beginnings, love and friendship. Perfect for the fans of Jenny Colgan and Lucy Diamond.

Ellie Browne has left behind her high-flying job in London to return to the charming Buckinghamshire village of Little Leyton. Working shifts at The Dog and Duck and running her own doggy-day-care business, Ellie’s looking for a much simpler way of life and a good old fashioned Christmas.

But Little Leyton’s landscape is changing; Johnny Tay, Ellie’s ex, wants to pick up where they left off; sultry property developer Max Golding, has moved into the village and is ruffling feathers; and rumour has it that the pub, which holds a special place in Ellie’s heart, might be sold. Suddenly, life’s looking a whole lot more complicated...

Can Ellie juggle her emotions and commitments in time to celebrate Christmas?

There’s never a dull moment in the life of Ellie Browne ... pre-order Summer at The Dog & Duck now: search 9781786691798.

Let me try to understand:

This is a book about dogs, ducks, and chicks in Reno?

I don't get the Reno part.

Renovation - story line involves fixing up a property or a developer (usually M lead)

Now a repeat freebie, if you happened to miss it earlier.
