I have now read 15 of this author's stories. I have highly enjoyed all of them and plan to read those I have not yet read. This story caught my attention immediately and kept me turning pages.

This is a modern story set in the Hill Country of Texas. (My husband was stationed at Fort Hood in Texas from 1969 to 1971 so we explored much of that state while there.)

AMAZING

A fairly sweet and cutesy modern book. I enjoyed the setting and the vet storyline. There are certain elements of the original but it’s not really P&P. The names/relationships are the same/similar, but the characters - especially those with any depth - aren’t imo. The plot is fast paced. I did question how realistic it is make so many big life decisions without ever actually having a conversation, but it works out in book land and they are very sweet together so I still enjoyed it.

Why did I try again to read one of this author’s books when I never finished any from her? I guess, the raving reviews.
