Dr. Rebecca
Miller is a veterinarian with the “heart as big as Texas.” She loves animals. In fact, she always got
along better with animals than people. So who needed a man?
“But dogs
aren’t men,” her mother emphasized. In
actuality, dogs might be better than
men (I think.) Like Rebecca said, “dogs are a lot
easier to please. [Dogs don’t] care that
I’m plain and old.” (13)
Then came the good doctor, Derrick…literally, out of nowhere! Twice!
On first impression, Derrick was strikingly handsome, but he was also a
selfish louse. It was sad that he didn’t recognize the lady he so rudely bumped
into. Still, the man did have a soft spot for animals, which you just couldn’t
help but love.
Although awkward at first, the attraction between Rebecca and Derrick
was evident. I found myself loving Derrick more in those fleeting moments when
he let his guard down and revealed a softer side. Unfortunately, like most of
us, Rebecca felt that he was “too perfect” for her. Sure, compared to the
blonde, big-breasted women he’s so used to, she was tater tots.
Perhaps, at
first, there may have been a few too many characters to keep track of with all
the customers that kept bringing their pets in; however, I enjoyed the
exasperating mother hell bent on getting her daughter hooked up and hitched
before the next full moon.
The story
was well-crafted with a blend of drama, humor, and tender affection. It is a
sweet, contemporary romance you can’t help but enjoy. You’ll want to snuggle up with your pets when
you read this.
A great book
for animal lovers!
My rating: 4 stars
