In a captivating novel spiced
with holiday magic—perfect for fans of Rachel Gibson, Susan Mallery, and Molly
O’Keefe—a rugged Montana man mends a Northeast girl’s jaded heart.
Boston veterinarian Hayley Scampini
tends the city’s pampered pets but dreams of the rural life of a country vet.
She’s single and determined to stay that way, convinced that love isn’t
permanent enough to trust. Then a vacation to the Whisper Creek dude ranch
introduces her to Daniel McKee, a sexy single dad who runs the kind of
veterinary practice she aspires to—and rattles her conviction to keep men at a
distance.
Managing a thriving practice,
coping with the loss of his wife, and fighting a custody battle with his
in-laws over his twin daughters, Daniel couldn’t be more overwhelmed. Hayley is
a godsend, accompanying him in the field and winning over his girls. It doesn’t
take Daniel long to realize he’s falling for this woman, hard and fast. So
before Hayley returns to Boston, he extracts a promise: that she will return to
Whisper Creek for Christmas. It’s the perfect time and place to show Hayley
that the promise of a beautiful life together is something she can believe in.
Maggie McGinnis is fast becoming
a new favorite go to author for me. This was the second book from this great
author and she really is a new refreshing voice in contemporary small town
romance. I really enjoy the ranch and all the colorful characters.
Hayley and her Boston practice
made me giggle and roll my eyes, because I will admit I don’t understand the
love of tiny dogs who are so overbred they can’t live a normal dog life. I also
adored Hayley’s insistence that she’s just going to have a fling, and how much
Daniel knocks her off her path without really meaning to.
Daniel is a fantastic hero
because Hayley totally sneaks up on his blindside too. I loved his lively girls
that added a touch of whimsy and mischief, and at several points I wanted to smack
his mother in law. She had the right amount of evil grandmother even while I understood
that everyone handles grief differently.
Overall this book left me with
that warm and fuzzy feeling that stuck with me long after I finished. I highly
recommend this to fans of sweet romances that have a healthy dose of sexy
scenes.
I received a copy for the purpose of review. I was not compensated for my review.
