I tried to make it last as long as I could while at the same time wrestling with the urge to race to the last page to see how it ended. I just ate up every word.
It's got a tormented and troubled Rodeo hero (cowboy Luke *swoon*) who shares history with the reluctant heroine (Shannon) who runs the animal shelter, there's a deluded dentist who also hopes to snag the heroine, an overbearing mother and a kitchy sister who sells found treasures on ebay, a few quirky gal pals....some rescued animals in desperate need of new, loving, forever homes. Did I mention the cowboy? It's just so good! I barely know where to begin to explain how much I loved it. I can't put it into words... It's romantic and funny, sad and touching, exciting and inspiring. It's got it all.
The little side stories are so cute too and I really hope there's another story in the pipeline for Russell the dentist because I'd love to know how he gets on. To begin with I just wanted him to get lost and grow a pair but by the end I was rooting for him and I hope he gets a story of his own.
It's just a really, really good story which has been written really, really well. I'll maybe let my thoughts settle and see if I can come up with a more coherent review, at the moment I'm just too gushy and fangirly over it to string a decent sentence together.
My only small gripe is with the ending, it seemed rushed. I wanted to know every little detail but the last chapter was just, 'this happened' and then 'this happened', The End. What little there was was good, but I felt I was being hurried to the exit door with a firm hand on my elbow.
I'm desperate to read the follow on book(s) now!
SUCH a great read!
