Contemporary Romance
Rainbow Valley has been a refuge for animals and Shannon North is the director
of the local animal shelter. Her budget is, at best, slim, and she is worried
that money will run out. Luke Dawson is the opposite of the altruistic and
privileged Shannon. Friends during their adolescence and briefly more
intimately involved, Luke comes from an abusive, alcoholic, single parent family
where his father was the town drunk. Mean to a fault, his father managed to
drive Luke away. Now a very successful rodeo rider, Luke has come back for his
father’s funeral. He plans to immediately leave town.
But fate has a way of intervening and Luke ends up injured and needing a place
to bunk. Shannon has free room in exchange for a caretaker position at the
animal shelter. Luke reluctantly agrees to take this job and the sparks and the
romance begun to fly between these two.
This is a delightful book, filled with romance, well-developed characters and
the classic bad boy, good girl couple. I loved the animals in this book and the
interactions brought me to tears. Manny the miniature pony is a special
character. Readers will love the hard core Luke with a heart of gold. Not to
be missed!
