Dr. Wylie Newman is the town’s only veterinarian—a dedicated, kind-hearted man who grew up in Clementine and was fostered at the Done Roamin Ranch. With his father’s legacy on his shoulders and his foster brothers settling into their own family lives, Wylie begins to dream of a future that includes love and a family of his own. Enlisting the help of a local matchmaker, he’s ready to take that next step.

Enter Dr. Hazel Hughes, a skilled and determined vet with dreams of honoring her late brother by completing a prestigious residency in England. When that dream is put on hold and she’s unexpectedly sent to Clementine instead, she’s frustrated—but not for long. As she and Wylie work together, a quiet friendship blooms into something deeper. Still, Hazel must decide whether to hold fast to her original plan or open her heart to a new path.

This is a heartfelt, small-town romance filled with warmth, laughter, and just the right touch of emotional depth. The chemistry between Wylie and Hazel is natural and sweet, and their journey is enhanced by a cast of mischievous animals and well-drawn side characters who bring humor and charm. Melinda Curtis delivers another feel-good story that celebrates love, community, and the courage it takes to choose a different kind of dream.

Loved it. Misleading title. It is actually all about veterinarians. I enjoyed the animal interactions. The romance was frustrating, but engaging. Good variety of characters. Thanks to the publisher for providing a copy via NetGalley. My review is voluntary.

Cowboy era completely! And this book was fantastic. You can’t go wrong with a handsome and gentle cowboy. I couldn’t put this book down.

I adored this book by Melinda Curtis. So much humor and a few moments of tearing up.

I loved Hazel figuring out where she fit in to Clementine, especially since it wasn't the place she wanted to be. Wylie is so charming and he knows where he fits in. They are a perfect couple! Loved seeing some of the other done roaming boys too! I can't wait for the next book in the series!
