Publisher's summary
“Reading Unleased Holiday was sheer joy. I chewed up the pages.” —#1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber
When an old rival reappears right before the holidays, a professional dog trainer must decide if the melting frost between them can make up for their ruff past, from the USA Today bestselling author of Dog Friendly.
Chelsea Higgins is doing just fine. She’s heading into the holidays at the helm of a thriving dog training business, and she’s got a mellow senior dog at home to keep her warm at the end of the day. What more could she need? Enter certified gym bro Andrew Gibson: Chelsea’s former nemesis, and now the newest neighbor in her business complex, who also wants to expand into the vacant space Chelsea’s been eyeing for months. Who cares if it’s the season of joy? Let the turf war begin.
When an unfortunate (and literal) run-in with Andrew’s lawless dog leaves Chelsea with a bum wrist, the two strike a deal: Andrew will help Chelsea rehab the injury if she’ll work with him to train his adorably uncivilized boxer.
Their typical bickering soon turns to bantering, and Chelsea finds herself inexplicably drawn to the man she thought she had nothing in common with. As she gets to know Andrew and his parents, she realizes she needs to refocus on her own family, especially with a milestone Christmas speeding toward them. But Chelsea can't help wondering if she and Andrew are training for keeps, or if this unexpected Christmas gift is just too good to be true.

Sasha has had it. She cannot bring herself to respond to another inane, “urgent” email or participate in the corporate employee joyfulness program. She hasn’t seen her friends in months. Sex? Seems like a lot of effort. Even cooking dinner takes far too much planning. Sasha has hit a wall. Armed with good intentions to drink kale smoothies, try yoga, and find peace, she heads to the seaside resort she loved as a child. But it’s the off season, the hotel is in a dilapidated shambles, and she has to share the beach with the only other occupant: a grumpy guy named Finn.

But Bobby, Iris’s best friend, isn’t about to let her hide away.

After a particularly brutal breakup, Cassidy Sutton has had it with dating. So when her grandmother gives her a 1950’s dating guide entitled 125 Tips to Hook a Husband, she decides to turn the retro advice into an ironic “What not to do” article for Siren, the popular online women’s publication she writes for. And who better to secretly test the old-fashioned tips on than Jack Bradford, chauvinistic creator of rival men’s site Brawler? She’ll write an article that will entertain female readers everywhere and embarrass their sexist nemesis at the same time. Two birds, one stone.

Critic reviews
"Reading Unleased Holiday was sheer joy. I chewed up the pages. There’s much to recommend this delightful book: a festive story gift wrapped for Christmas, three charming dogs, mean girls of the goat variety, a handsome hero, and a reluctant heroine." —Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"When I start a Victoria Schade book, I know I’m in for love, dogs, and a happily ever after. Unleashed Holiday is that and more, wrapped in a healing red bow, that’s sure to be the perfect book for your fall and winter holidays.” —Tif Marcelo, USA Today bestselling author of the Heart Resort series
"How do you make a holiday rom-com even more swoon worthy? Just add dogs. This holiday heartwarmer about a dog trainer helping to civilize her nemesis' pooch is laugh out loud funny, abundantly festive and delightfully sexy. Two paws up! I absolutely loved it." —Colleen Oakley, USA Today bestselling author of The Mostly True Story of Tanner and Louise

Story
Hockey coach Ashley Jaswal doesn't take nonsense from anyone … except her overbearing and superstitious family. They believe she's a good luck charm for her brother Jas, the newest Vancouver Canucks draft pick, forcing Ash to attend all his games as he rises up the NHL ranks, sacrificing her personal life (not that she has one—who decided hockey season needed to be 10 months long anyway?). Ash also clashes with Jas’s teammate, Canucks captain Devin Snyder.

More Dog Less Romance
I have enjoyed other books in this series, but this one has only a superficial veneer of dogginess, It's mainly a romance. I would say about 10% dog, 90% romance. I don't mind a dog story with a romantic veneer, but I don't read romances just for their own sake, unless it's Jane Austen level. Not the drivel that is mass-produced these days. The two dogs on the cover just make an occasional cameo appearance in this novel. This was supposed to be my dog book of the week but I was pretty disappointed. The dogs need to figure more prominently than this. At least 50/50, if there has to be a romance. Nothing wrong with Mara Wilson's narration.
