So far this book is really good. Jaci was able to write a story about giving love a second chance. I can see why there are so many wish list requests for this one.
Emma has returned home at 32 to set up her own veterinary practice. She hasn't dated in years. She has an abusive ex-boyfriend in her past. Luke is a police officer and has a canine partner. He doesn't date either, having no use for women after his ex-wife (well, except for sex and he is a fan of the one night stand- sounds like a gem, right? And the ex had different goals and wants, so she's a bitch- because of course she is!).
Anyway, typical small town romance. Everyone knows everyone's business, gossip is strong. And if one isn't into the "small town atmosphere" and wants more, well, they are a horrible person or are hiding something! Well, the women are anyway (Luke's ex Becca, Emma's sister Molly). No such shade is thrown in Reid's direction (the younger brother of Luke and Logan who left to pursue school and his career). Emma and Luke are decent enough, if a bit vanilla, bland. They do have decent chemistry. The secondary characters (those we "meet"- Logan, Carter, and those we don't- Reid, Molly) didn't jump out at me and I don't have any burning curiosity to read further

anything with animals is always good.luke and emma are in the 1st in a "hope" series. can't wait to read the next one in this series.
Love this author, she never disappoints. Great plot and loved the hero and herione plus the inclusion of the dogs interaction was a plus for me. Cant wait for book 2 it was set up quite nicely throughout this book.
A good story about a small town in Oklahoma, a woman vet and the local cop.
Funny, romantic, plus taking a second chance on love.

Emma Burnett is just setting up her Veterinary Practice. She is on her own, independent and driven. Luke McCormack, divorced and hardly lacking in female company, he's devoted to the only faithful companion in his life--his police dog.
