BLURB
If there’s one thing I know to be certain in life, it’s to expect the unexpected. I never expected to become a teen mom or have to flee a toxic relationship years later. And I certainly never expected to go head-to-head with Jacob Harris, doctor of veterinary medicine, to prove I’m worthy of running the struggling rescue full of misfit animals I suddenly inherited.
Jacob is as smug as he is good looking, and I refuse to let that cocky grin or sharp jawline distract me. I won’t go down without a fight, and this time, it’ll be easy to stand my ground when my opponent is someone I can’t stand—even though my body reacts whenever he’s around. This time I’m not backing down no matter how much he gets under my skin.
But the more I push, the more he pulls…until I don’t know what I’m more at a risk of losing: the rescue or my heart.

ARC REVIEW
Josie is an amazing mom. She had her daughter as a teenager, but didn’t let that get her down in life. She has done everything she can to make sure her daughter is loved and happy. Even if it means getting her daughter, Everly, out of the town they live in due to bullying. Josie has always loved horses and the perfect place to be is with her aunt at her horse rescue farm. Tragedy strikes and the visit to the farm becomes a permanent move. Jacob is the town vet and the only vet that deals with horses in the area. His reaction to Josie taking over the horse rescue isn’t the best and he really has no faith in her being able to handle everything that may need to be done.
Jacob and Josie aren’t fast friends, they disagree on whether or not Josie can handle the rescue from the start. Yet, the more Jacob learns about Josie the more he softens up and realizes that maybe he really did misjudge her. I loved the bond that Jacob formed with Everly throughout the story. I also loved how much Everly knew about how to help the rescue and was able to majorly assist her mom with it all.
This story was a slow, slow, slow, slow burn. Then it went from zero to sixty in a matter of pages. A majority of it Jacob and Josie were more like enemies who had an attraction towards one another but never once acted on it. But all it took was one kiss and from there they were one fire.
If you’re looking for a small town, single mom, slow burn romance check this one out.
