This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I found it very enjoyable.
It was well written and moved along at a good pace. It was easy to connect with the story and the two likeable main characters. There was a dash of angst and there were a couple of emotional spots that brought a tear to my eye.

Vaughn is the town veterinarian and Alex is a homeless man passing through the small town in Idaho, until circumstances means he needs to stay for awhile.
Alex has tattoos, is kind, hardworking and filled with pain. Vaughn is busy with his clinic, has a huge heart and gets burned by falling in love too quickly.

Both of them are really sweet and good natured but they do have to overcome some miscommunication issues before they get their HEA. As a side benefit, we get to meet their really gorgeous dogs who are are deserving of side character status, especially with the very original epilogue.
