The Lonely Paddock by Laurelle Cousins (Escape Publishing) 4 stars

Publication date 11/6/22 book 330 pages


I would like to thank the author, publishers and Netgalley for allowing me to pick this to read and review all my reviews are honest.




Synopsis


For readers of Karly Lane and Rachael Johns comes a compelling romance that proves forgiveness is possible and fighting for love is worth the heartache. Country vet Ross Harrington would rather throw himself into his work than face the memories of a tragic childhood accident. But the protective animal-lover cannot forgive himself, tied by the belief he is unworthy of love. So, when the adorable Flick Parker bounds into his clinic with her unruly dog and a smile that threatens to dissolve his protective walls, he's torn between his fascination with her zest for life and the overwhelming desire to turn-tail for the hills. Meanwhile, Flick is falling for the handsome vet but doesn't know if her heartfelt desire to care for terminally ill children can be in her future or if it's the very thing that will keep her and Ross apart. Finding the balance between offering too much heart or guarding it like an open wound feels like an impossible task, but can Flick show Ross it's worth taking the risk of opening up to find love?


My Review


This was a great story. I read this book in one sitting. I really loved the story line as it has a vet and horse in which is a big plus for me. Also that it was set in Australia. I loved the characters and they developed well throughout the story. I especially loved Flick as she was fun and enthusiastic. I was a little slower to warm to Ross and the past coming back to haunt him was a bit full on. This book was both heartbreaking and heartwarming in equal measures. I thought the book was fairly well wrote as some parts were a little overdue. But that didn't impact my reading experience that much it just lost a star. This was a slow building romance book as you got to know the characters back story. Then it moved into a medium pace and reminded there for the duration. I also need to mention just how much I loved the title and cover it really drew me into choosing this book to read. I recommend reading this book if you love slow burning stories that like to play with your emotions.

So much praise goes out to the author and publishers for creating this lovely page turning novel.
