Synopsis
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.
Hayley and Daniel are two of a kind, both in their rather
tragic back stories and (and trust me, I know how cheesy this sounds) but their
spirits. Plus, they’re both veterinarians. Which it really awesome and cool and
I’m in total awe if their mad skills. But I’d also totally want Daniel’s job as
opposed to Hayley’s: horses to small overbred dogs who are allergic to
themselves.
When Hayley goes to visit Montana for her best friend’s
wedding, she goes with the intention of a fling (like always) and leaves Montana
with a promise. A promise to come back and see her soul mate (even though she
refuses to acknowledge it) and his two adorable little daughters. Daniel’s wife
dies from cancer a few years back and ever since his mother-in-law has been
trying her hardest to get them closer to her, even going so far as to trying to
legally gain custody over the girls.
While the wedding planning is going about, Hayley and Daniel
are falling for each other; a new experience for both of them. Hayley
practically becomes part of the family. Through all this there’s the
possibility that things won’t be forever or that something will go horribly
wrong.
This was an easy read. It was entertaining and sweet and
overall, really fun. I love the characters and the place and the back stories
for both of the main characters. The minor characters we’re AWESOME! I loved
everybody by the time I was 25% through the book. The only complaint I have is
that I was easily distracted throughout the book.
Y’all need to read this book!
AHHHH THE HOLIDAYS ARE ALMOST HERE I CAN TASTE THE COOKIES
