Widow Olivia Gray’s son, Joey, has been getting into trouble at school lately, and after he’s caught stealing he gets assigned to do community service at local veterinarian Zeke Harrison’s ranch. Olivia knows that Joey could use a male influence in his life, but since the murder of her husband, Olivia doesn’t see herself in another relationship again. Things just might change, however, when she meets the handsome veterinarian.

This was a very sweet and heartwarming inspirational romance with a sympathetic cast of characters. I liked how Olivia and Zeke’s romance took its time to grow the more time they spent together. I liked Olivia’s son, Joey, and I enjoyed how he took to working at the ranch and his attachment to one very cute puppy. The small-town setting of Rosewood, Texas, was nice—the kind of place where everyone seems to know everyone else and they all look out for each other. I enjoyed reading about Zeke’s veterinary practice and I admired his dedication to the animals he took care of. The story took an exciting turn as wildfires drew near to Zeke’s land and the subsequent rescue efforts to save the animals and the ranch. A strong sense of community was always felt throughout the story. A nice, quick, enjoyable read.… (plus d'informations)
