Since You've Been Gone by Samantha Chase (Magnolia Sound #8)

🐾🐾🐾🐾

Best friends and rescue animals = sold! Since You've Been Gone is a story of coming home and following your heart.

While coming home for the weekend seemed like a good escape from the recent fame he's gained on social media, Garrett is forced to face the only woman he's ever loved.

Emma has a lot on her plate, so when her childhood best friend comes back to visit, she's left reeling from what her life could've been.

The genuine friendship between Emma and Garrett is so heart-warming, especially his bond with the rest of her family. The animal rescue aspect will tug at your heart, and I loved the entire story! Magnolia Sound is a town I'd love to live in.

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

Emmaline Ryan has always been the smart, shy girl who plays it safe. But all that's gotten her is a divorce and a mountain of debt to pay off courtesy of her ex-husband. Needless to say, she's stopped believing in miracles and fairy tales a long time ago. Except now she's in desperate need of one of those miracles if she wants to save her family's animal rescue. Emmaline knows just where to go for help, but that means putting her faith in the hands of the man who once broke her heart without even realizing it.

Garrett Coleman met the girl of his dreams when he was just eight years old -- only, he never told her. But that was years ago. Now, Garrett has become a reluctant social media star -- the shirtless #HotDoc and #SexyVet who saves scared and helpless animals. Sure, it's been great for business, but he'd give anything for people to see the real him, preferably with a shirt on. When a visit home to Magnolia Sound has him running into the shy girl he left behind, he sees his chance at the future he never thought he deserved.

Unfortunately, he's not the only one back in town, and wooing Emmaline just became a lot more complicated. A lot has changed since he's been gone and Garrett is going to have to prove that he's up to the challenge. Emmaline might still be the sweet and quiet girl he left behind, but he's not sure she's willing to wait.

Bossing the Cowboy by Kennedy Fox (Circle B Ranch #4)

 

💚💚💚💚💚

All the emotions with this one! Bossing the Cowboy is a slow-burn workplace romance that will give you all the feels.

Elle can't stand her boss, but she also can't stop her heart from wanting what it can't have. All through her internship she tries to make Connor proud, but nothing can break through his walls.

Connor's ex is a piece of work, especially when it comes to their daughter. When things start to escalate and his daughters safety is in jeopardy, he's forced to fight for what he wants in life.

I'm a sucker for a single dad, but when they work with animals, I'm a goner. This had me laughing, smiling at the sass, and I even shed a few tears (you will too!) This owned my heart and I devoured it in one sitting!

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

After surviving a messy divorce and custody battle, Dr. Connor Wallen quickly became married to his job. Helping animals is the perfect distraction from his crazy ex, but he finds it difficult to concentrate when an attractive woman joins his veterinary clinic. Getting involved with someone who works for him would only lead to disaster, so staying professional is key.

He tries to ignore her, but their chemistry is undeniable.

Elizabeth Bishop can't stand her boss or how he treats her, but there aren't many job options in small-town Texas. No matter what she does, it's never good enough for Connor, but she continues trying to impress him anyway.

She'll never admit she's attracted to him and denies it every chance she gets.

Avoiding him is impossible, but Elle keeps her distance whenever possible. After his walls start to crumble, she knows her feelings aren't one-sided. She's tired of playing his games and is ready to prove who's really in control.

Although he pushes her away, she's determined to pull him closer -- showing him exactly what they've both been missing.

**Bossing the Cowboy is a complete stand-alone and can be read without reading any of the other books or spin-off series, but if you prefer to read in order, start with Hitching the Cowboy as the characters and families do interconnect.**

Number Neighbors by Emma Hart

❤❤❤❤❤

Number Neighbors is a guaranteed good time! My favorite thing about any Emma Hart book is I know I'll laugh out loud and probably snort embarrassingly loud at some point. Her characters always have the best quirks and a serious lack of filter.

I'd make an appointment with Isaac Cooper any time, and I'm currently pet-free. He's the perfect gentleman unless provoked (in the best way.)

Hannah has enough on her plate between a stray kitten and an opinionated Grandmother, the last thing she needs is a complicated love life.

The texts between these two will have steam rising from your pages. Grandma Jen is quite the spunky lady, between her explicit book club and her sassy attitude, she'll keep you in stitches.

It's hard to pick a favorite Emma Hart book, but I have to say this one ranks right at the top for me, especially as a cat lover. Lots of comedy, romance and no drama - the perfect mix to give you a great escape from reality.

Summary:

BAD IDEA #241: Sending a dirty text to your number neighbor.

In my defense, my friends did it too, and their neighbors took it as the joke it was.

Mine didn't.

He responded with a dirty text of his own. Next thing I know, I have a standing texting date every night at ten-thirty.

Until I have to miss it because the stray kitten who adopted me one week ago is sick. The only person I know who can help me at this time of night is my British next-door neighbor and local vet, Isaac Cooper.

I'll keep him overnight, he says. Here's my number to call me in the morning, he says.

The problem?

I know that number.

Because I've been texting it every night for the last four days...
