Fiona Gibson's Adorable Dog Shares: An Illustrated Book by Fiona Gibson

Beverley: It’s a silly drawing and doesn’t reflect the story at all. But there is a dog, and eventually this dog is living his own ‘happily-ever-after,’ with several places to call home.

Danielle Philpott: Wow, wow and wow is all I can say about this book. I absolutely loved it from start to finish. I loved all the characters especially the main character Suzy.

Fiona Gibson’s books are always laugh out loud and a real page turner.

I can’t recommend this book enough, if you haven’t read it you need to. It’s just fabulous.

Helen: I'm a sucker for any story featuring a wonderful dog (is there any other kind of dog)? This story has several really great characters with all the normal human trials, tribulations and joys you'd expect. Those issues are all there, along with the wonder of the love given to and received from an adorable little terrier pooch, Scout! If you like stories about humans meeting and solving their problems and the relationship between humans and a fine canine this story is for you!

Mary Elizabeth: Although not as hilarious as some of her other books, this book has a more poignant feel to it. The characters are so real, and likeable, and the main character Suzy has a lot of grit and determination to take a failing distillery and turn it around. And in doing so finds the man who is right for her. Loved it.

Chillijan: Would have given enough it full marks, but the end in just happened too quickly, as if the author became bored or couldn't be bothered. Disappointed.

laura eaton: Very good story however and felt a little rushed.
Many ups and downs, with a hidden story to be told, really glad that it is told in the end and that it wasn't left unanswered

C J. M.: Suzy and Ricky — “Ricky” bothers me because it’s a young boy’s name — have both come from troubled relationships and meet through loving a small stray dog. I much enjoyed the way that a group of people become connected to each other through loving this charming, affectionate dog. That was more interesting than the growing interest between Suzy and Ricky.
The chapter(s) written from Andrew’s (Ricky’s 11 year old son) sound as if actually written by a boy that age.

Natasha Alsop: Sweet and easy read, the plot was well paced and the characters were likeable. However I would've enjoyed a little more dept where characters and relationships were concerned, particularly where Cara is concerned and Suzy and Ricky's relationship. I feel like a novella would be a really good way to expand this universe a little bit more :)

Avid Reader: Warm, hopeful, wonderful escape to the Hebrides🚢

What a 🏁winner of a story! Female lead empty nester Suzy lands in a difficult situation thanks to her former partner but she's inspired to do her utmost to right wrong and turn failure to success. When at her lowest a stray dog enters Suzy's life and her heart and, like magic, things start looking up.

I first gravitated to this book for two reasons: the Scottish setting on a picturesque small island off the western coast of Scotland and the author. The island's beauty and community spirit made me want to be there. And Fiona Gibson has a knack for creating women with spunk and determination. Suzy is one such woman with an unusual profession and a social conscience that refuses to take the easy way out when it could have disastrous effects on so many others.

The strangers drawn into Suzy's orbit by Scout, her scamp of a rescue dog, offer friendship, romance and growing respect. This story was so easy to read and love; I enjoyed it first to last chapter!😊

Thanks to Avon publishers and NetGalley for providing a complimentary advance copy of the book. I liked it so much that I just had to purchase it...
