Emily Stevens has finally arrived at Belle Haven, an animal
center run by Dr.
Dell Connelly and his two brothers, Brady and Adam. This is
one among her
"list" of dreams towards her perfect life. Interning for a
year will pay off her
education to become a veterinarian. However, her first
choice was in L.A. and
not in the mountains of Sunshine, Idaho.
Much to her astonishment the handsome vet tending to an
animal was none
other than her first and only one-night stand, Dr. Wyatt
Stone, whom she met
at a vet conference in Reno. Karma is a real bitch and
Emily just found that
out. While both still find they burn to jump each other's
body their visions of
life are completely different. Emily wants to return to
L.A. and Wyatt loves his
life in Sunshine and could never consider being anywhere
else nor ask any
woman to give up her dream.
The cute, feisty, and sexy as hell tornado
quickly has Wyatt off his axis. With Wyatt surrounded by
his two sisters and
Emily by her lesbian sister, life becomes complicated with
their interference.
Emily's world is soon filled with a potty mouth parrot, an
injured turtle and
rescued dog. Working side by side caring for pets and
animals only serves to
draw them closer together.
Unable to ask Emily to stay, she accepts an
internship far away when it's offered to her as part of her
"plan". A lost plea
from Wyatt, written on a bar napkin, isn't going to do its
job!
I loved this story of a group of people filled with love
of animals, investing
their lives in their 4-legged patients and their community.
I have read other
works by Jill Shalvis and found compassion, warmth and true
emotion in each
one. Stories involving the love of animals are always an
enjoyable read. How
can you go wrong with adorable animals and extremely hot
heroes?
Veterinary intern Emily can't believe she wound up in the
small town of Sunshine, Idaho, instead of the Los Angeles
clinic she had always imagined. Now she has to put her plans
to move to L.A. on hold for a whole year while she fulfills
the obligation of her vet school scholarship.
Then Wyatt, her gorgeous one-night stand from a Reno vet
conference, introduces himself as her new boss. And Emily is
just as drawn to his seductive looks and quiet strength as
she was on that very steamy night. She soon learns that
Wyatt isn't just a laid-back doctor, but a delicious alpha
male tempting her away from her carefully laid-out plans...
