IN FLIRTING WITH LOVE…
Elisabeth Nash
has spent years dreaming of returning to the small town of Trusty, Colorado,
where she spent summers with her favorite aunt. When she inherits her aunt’s
farmette, she closes her Los Angeles pet bakery and pampering business, sure
that life in Trusty will be as peaceful and as welcoming as she remembers. But
being an outsider in the close-knit town proves to be very different from the
happy summers she remembers from her childhood—and falling for Trusty’s hot,
wealthy, and sinfully irresistible veterinarian, Ross Braden, sends the rumor
mill into a frenzy.
Ross Braden
learned long ago that gossip spreads faster than weeds in his small hometown,
and Ross loves nothing more than his privacy.
For that reason, he doesn’t date women who live in Trusty. But that was
before blond, beautiful, and refreshingly honest Elisabeth Nash flew into his
vet clinic seeking help for her panicked piglet and turned his comfortable
life—and his heart—inside out.
Despite rumors
about Elisabeth’s motives toward her aunt’s property, passion brews between
Elisabeth and Ross. Every steamy kiss and every sensual touch brings the pair
closer together, and when Ross helps Elisabeth try to fit into the town he
adores, it makes their bond even stronger. But even Elisabeth’s efforts toward
reaching the community, and the love she and Ross so desperately believe in,
might not be enough for the protective small town to offer them a future.
This is the first book in the series that I've read. While it can be read as a stand alone, you would be familiar with the other couples mentioned in this book if you read the previous books. I found the story to be a very sweet romance without any major drama, but with some steamy scenes. Once Ross and Elisabeth gave into their attraction, they couldn't seem to keep their hands off each other. I loved the way all the animals played important parts in the story, from the dogs to the farm animals. My only complaint is that while the story hinted at a previous relationship that affected who Ross dated, it was never explained. Perhaps that is where reading the previous books in the series would come in handy. Overall it was a very enjoyable read and look forward to reading more books by Melissa Foster.

"What sets Melissa Foster
apart are her compelling characters who you care about... desperately.

the first chapter and not be hooked." International bestseller, M.J.
