The Wisdom of Bug
by Alyson Root
A sapphic Christmas romance with an adorable matchmaking job - sign me up!! I adored this book and of course the real MC who made it as special as it was - Bug. I love books where animals, especially dogs, play a key role in the plot and story, and Alyson Root did not disappoint with The Wisdom of Bug!
This wasn’t as spicy as some of Alyson’s other books, but the budding connection and building heat between Evelyn and Alyssa made for a delicious slow burn romance. The physical attraction between these two women was instant, but their first encounter was far from pleasant. Evelyn isn’t what I would call an ice queen, but she has some definite ice queen characteristics at the start. She’s a closed-off workaholic who can’t wait for the Christmas season to be over.
Then one day Evelyn almost trips over a dog in the middle of her office. And she discovers that only did her dad take off with no notice and leave her as CEO of Crawford Pet Supplies - he also made some sort of arrangement with a local dog rescue for the season.
Cue the sexy Alyssa Fox, owner of Four Paws. Tired of dogs being returned after the “Christmas shine” wears off, Alyssa decides to close the rescue for a couple of months. But the dogs still need interaction and play time. Which is why Alyssa, her team, and all their dogs are now at Crawford Pet Supplies. Every dog is paired with a volunteer, except Bug - who found his way to Evelyn’s office, and eventually into Evelyn’s heart.
The book is aptly named because Bug is a miracle worker who somehow knows exactly what both Evelyn and Alyssa need - long before either of them can see it or admit it to themselves. It’s not just about bringing them together, but about helping each of them learn to let go a little, and take care of themselves as much as they take care of their companies.
The Wisdom of Bug is a heartwarming story about two work obsessed women and a very special dog who helps them learn to live more fully…and even find love. It’s a quick and delightful holiday read you won’t want to put down!
I received an ARC from the author and this is my honest review.
