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. ( )

This book was so interesting. I just love how this book ends. I do not want to spoil how it ends. Though this book is a really good read. The book goes to show you how you can be accepted into a community. Have you ever felt you need to belong somewhere but you did not felt like you belong. You just may find that place. This book take you along for a ride that does just that. It about a boy and his mother trying to fit in. It also tell you a story about a veterinary and his family and his life. Though sometimes animals can understand you better then you think. I love the fact this book uses that but also trying to find a yourself and who you love.

What would you do to try and protect your family? Olvia feel she need to protect herself and her son. Though her son is acting out. Will her son change or will they have to leave the town. Zeke seem to understand the boy. Can they both get past their own past? You need to read it to find out. There are event that take place and if they are real event it just so much more to connect with the book. You can learn to read about history that way. This seen to talk about the Texan Fires that was going on at some point.

This book also doe something with romance as well. You can find it out though out the book as well. This book keep my attention and I really did enjoy it to a point i did not want it to end.

You can decide for yourself. I would love to read more from this author any day. ( )
