Amber loses her paralegal job and fancy Seattle apartment in one big whoosh. Her parents store her furniture but she wants to get back on her feet ASAP. She takes a job in northern Washington to housesit a few pets but she didn���t plan on barnyard animals who needed special food and medication. She learns a lot from a sexy Ferrier named Mick that all the women in the area go gaga over. Amber treats him like a normal guy and Mick is relieved by her genuine niceness. He uses the animals as a rouse to get close to her and romance blossoms. Amber then listens to idle gossip by a few jealous women who want Mick and that misunderstanding then threatens to tear apart their new relationship.

This is book 3 in the series. Brenda, the heroine from the previous book, is Amber���s future sister-in-law. Although they didn���t get along before, they do now and their friendship was fun to read about.

The pacing of the story flowed and I enjoyed the author���s writing style.

The author sent me an ARC for an honest review.

Belle left her small hometown of Mercy Ridge for the big city of Seattle with big dreams of a great teaching job and starting a family. Instead, she returned home disillusioned to live with her parents after she quit a bad job. She meets Gavin on a dude ranch where she currently works and connects to his distraught daughter, Gabrielle, through their shared love of horses. Gabby experienced a terrible trauma two years ago and Gavin does everything possible to help his little girl. Gavin is on vacation with Gabby and romance blooms between him and Belle, but they live in different places. Can their newfound relationship survive the distance? Will Gabby continue to grow and heal with her beloved horse gone?
Gabby will tug at your heartstrings so have your tissues ready. I so badly wanted to hug the child. The romance and love between Gavin and Belle felt so real and strong. They both had emotional baggage and seemed to find a will to try again with each other. This lovely, sweet story will leave you smiling.

Thank you, Marilyn Conner Miles, for sending me an ARC of this story for an honest review.
Brenda goes to a friend���s wedding and runs into her ex-boyfriend. Blake broke up with her six years ago and she has pined for him ever since. He pursues her and she doesn���t understand why since she thought he wanted nothing to do with her. Even Blake doesn���t know why he keeps contacting her after he ignored her for so long���he just feels compelled to be with her again.
Although well-written in third person POV, I had trouble connecting with the characters. Miscommunications played a major role in the book since they didn���t talk about their feelings or why their relationship ended until after they started to date again. Some of their actions just seemed childish to me.
Anyway, I loved the scenery descriptions. I���ve always wanted to visit Washington State and I thought the details were extraordinary. I enjoyed the story overall but I wish the author would have expanded the characters��� back-stories. I wanted to learn more about them and what made them tick, other than each other. I hope Ms. Miles writes more about this couple. That���s likely since this story is the sequel to Acapulco Adventure (which I haven���t read/the book is about two of Brenda's friends) so there might be a third story in the future. I���ll keep my fingers crossed!
4 Stars.

Deeann’s pilot boyfriend, Mark, just broke up with her and moved on pretty quickly. Even though she doesn’t want to, Deeann goes on a vacation to Acapulco with her best friend Brenda and the guy Brenda invited to go with them at the last minute, sexy Greg, a fellow pilot who knows Mark. Everything goes wrong for Deeann on this trip. From lost luggage, to red wine on her blouse to a possible stalker. Seriously, this poor girl can’t catch a break. But things always look up, especially when romance blooms when she least expects it.
I love the author’s writing style, everything flowed, and I can’t wait to read more!
