Her Small-Town Refuge

GIVEAWAY

SLATTERY, JENNIFER

HER SMALL-TOWN REFUGE

To secure the future she's been wishing for, she must earn her boss's trust.

Escaping to the Texas Hill Country with her daughter for a vet tech internship is Stephanie Thornton's chance at a safer life. But when medicine goes missing from Caden Slaughton's struggling vet clinic, all evidence points to Stephanie. With the new life she's been searching for hanging in the balance, Stephanie must convince Caden to trust her with his business...and his heart.

My Review:

Seriously good. Not only does this contemporary romance have a vet setting (hello, critter lovers unite!) and a veterinarian hero, but the heroine is an all out animal whisperer. And i love how that balances her otherwise wary, timid nature. 'Cause Stephanie's been through a lot and she's still struggling to shake the negativity of her past and discover the woman God means for her to be. 

But it's hard, and she can easily be overwhelmed. I love the way Slattery takes us on her redemptive journey. I felt every single emotion. My tummy did loop-de-loops all the way through the read but especially at the beginning because Stephanie arrives in the middle of chaos and things don't get straightened out for a while.

And our over-worked, stressed-out vet is the kind of hero I like to cheer for (and occasionally grump at.) Sparks definitely fly (and not always for the right reasons) between Caden and Stephanie and I enjoyed the stops and stutters and occasional U-turns on the road to their happily-ever-after.

Plus, a cast of memorable secondary characters including Stephanie's adorable preschool daughter bring added depth and meaning to this inspirational romance. And yes, this is the kind of Christian Fiction novel that has a spectacular faith thread woven throughout. Uplifting and entertaining and swoonworthy besides!
