The last person on earth Rand Sheppard wants to rely on is Jessie Monroe, but he needs a vet tech--yesterday--and she's the only one for hire. And unfortunately, it turns out she's pretty good at her job. That's too bad, because as soon as Rand can find a replacement, he's going to fire Jessie. He owes his cousin that much. Yes, Jessie's made plenty of mistakes. Dating Tommy was one of them. One it looks as if she's never going to live down. If she can only make Rand realize she wasn't the reason his cousin went to jail, and she isn't the person Rand--and everyone else in town--thinks she is. And that it's okay to fall in love....
An excellent romance with a different setting. The author takes you inside a large animal vet's office. The characters and the setting were believable and interesting. Jessie has a lot to prove in the story and things finally go her way. If you like the romance genre, this one is a must read.

Veterinarian Rand Sheppard knows he owes his cousin Tommy loyalty, but he also owes his customers the best care. He never thought his two worlds come into conflict, but they have. He needs a vet technician but the only applicant is Jessie Monroe. Her dating Tommy ended up with him in jail. Her only regret was stepping out with Tommy. Though he hires her, he considers her a Jezebel while she calls him Dr. Doolittle. As they work closely together, they fall in love, which makes Rand wonder how this could happen as he hates her and leaves Jessie to ponder how fickle she must be as she does not trust him or for that matter anyone in town. However, Tommy remains between them. Contemporary readers will enjoy this interesting romance between two people in love with no chance at a permanent relationship because of his cousin. Though Tommy is a realistic protagonist, his behavior makes it perhaps a bit too easy for the lead couple to find common ground. However, few will care as the audience will want to know how the vet and his technician find a way to make their love work. Harriet Klausner
