A Sapphic romance, a cute dog, and the festive season – what more could you need!

Collie Jolly has a great short yet cute storyline, and despite its length the plot is fairly detailed and flows well.

Set in New Orleans, Ashley is a bi main character who has just lost her job. In need of work to pay the bills, she accepts a position as a dog trainer, despite never having trained an animal before, let alone a mischievous Collie named Bacchus! Meanwhile Bacchus’s owner Madison, needs him gone; he’s too painful a reminder of all that she lost a year ago. But she knows she stands no chance of re-homing an unruly dog; Ashley is her chance to solve the problem that is Bacchus once and for all.

It should be obvious by now that aside from the romance, what ties all the elements of this story together is ultimately the cute dog! The story is told from Ashley and Madison’s alternating viewpoints, as you follow a heartwarming femme/femme Christmas romance. Collie Jolly is a feel good book, it’s relatively low angst, and a quick and easy read depicting how even after loss it is possible to re-open your heart to love, and the joys of living.

This is a book that I could see myself re-reading each time the festive season roles around, if only for the feel good factor and the cute dog.
