Country life is nothing like City life and soon Maz finds herself not only knee-deep in sick animals but she also in the middle of a feud with the other vets in Talyton, Talyton Manor Vets. Maz also discovers that Otter House is in serious trouble and she feels she has to not only mend that but also her broken heart. Good job there’s a man on the scene helping to distract Maz. It’s just a shame he’s the competition’s son.

I am a huge animal fan – particularly after we adopted our two dogs after moving into their house – so when I was browsing on the Bookseller website one night and I came across an article saying Cathy Woodman was going to be writing a new vets series, I knew I had to keep track of when the book was coming out as it sounded like a fantastic read. I was thrilled when it finally came up on Amazon for release and I was even happier when I was offered it to review.

I’ve never read any of Cathy’s books before so I wasn’t sure what to expect so it came as a nice surprise to be able to slip into the book so easily. The book starts just before Maz takes over as the locum at Otter House and sets the scene really well for Maz to come in and take over from Emma. We’re then introduced to the residents of Talyton St George including Izzy, Nigel and Frances who also work at Otter House as well as the Fox-Giffords who are rivals of Otter House and have their own veterinary clinic Talyton Manor Vets and any residents who bring in their pets to Otter House. It creates quite the atmosphere within Talyton St George and the village is really brought to life with it’s wonderful characters.

As I say, the characters of Talyton St George are all wonderful and all bring their personalities to life whenever they appear. With so many residents I did get a little confused at the beginning of the book, I must admit but as I got to know them all, it became easier to differentiate between who was who. Maz is the main character throughout the book and is also our narrator and I warmed to her immediately. It’s clear from the off she had a difficult time before leaving London and I enjoyed seeing her overcome her heartbreak. I also thought the reasoning for why Maz became a vet hugely believeable and also really heartwarming. I suppose the other main characters were Izzy, Frances and Nigel who worked alongside Maz at Otter House and I must admit that although I found all three prickly in the beginning, I also soon warmed to them. There was a big deal made of the rivalry between Otter House and Talyton Manor Vets but I found myself really liking Alex Fox-Gifford, the son of Old Fox-Gifford and owner of Talyton Manor Vets. He easily dispelled any myths I may have had about him being the bad guy of the piece and I enjoyed his rapport between himself and Maz.

Cathy Woodman really manages to bring the village of Talyton St George to life, as I’ve previously mentioned and although the way in which everyone knew everyone elses business, I fell in love with the village alongside Maz. If you’re going to write a series then creating a fantastic setting is a must and Woodman has managed that with relative ease. Of course there was also lots of drama – as I said, everyone is in everyone elses pocket – but it was all handled within time and there was never too much at any given point. Since the book is about a vet’s practice it’s to be expected that not every animal treated will survive and there were a few cases that had me in tears, I must say. Woodman handled those scenes sensitively though and although the scenes did make me sad, I also understood why they had to happen. There’s a huge plot twist three quarters of the way through the book that really shook everything up, too, and which I did not see coming – making my shock all the worse! I much mention the ending which really set the scene for the second book in the series which I’m eagerly anticipating!

Overall I really enjoyed reading Trust Me, I’m A Vet. It’s rare for a chick lit book to feature animals – and definitely not as many as Trust Me, I’m A Vet features – which made my enjoyment all the better as I am a huge animal lover. This is a must-read for animal lovers and the cute cover should tell you all you need to know. October – and the second book in the series – cannot come soon enough for me, I really can’t wait to read it!(less)

I read this book hoping for a light-hearted fun chick-lot romance book. It wasn't exactly that. It was much more depressing than I was counting on, with the deaths of more than one living being.

Also, quite a bit of it to me was a bit unbelievable, notably the competition between the Otter House vet and the Fox-Gifford vet. I can't imagine one vet being so openly rude and hateful and just downright unprofessional to another vet and still being the most respected vet in town. But maybe I'm wrong....more

First things, two stars is very generous.

The story was trite: a girl gets jaded by her lover, runs off to a new locale, shenanigans occur, and she falls in love in the process. I didn't like any of the characters. Maz was annoying and pathetic. Emma took advantage of her friend. Izzy was a jerk masquerading as kind 'Johnny on the spot.' The townspeople were cliche. Ugh.

The story was spent too much time focusing on the vet aspects of the story that the story of the people never developed. There w...more

Bor-ing...except for the animals!
I wanted to like this book because 1) it was a new author for me and that's always a potentially good thing and 2) a book about a vet and animals -- I love animals! So I thought I'd give it a shot. Unfortunately, it was boring. I finished it only because I usually always finish books that I start but I found myself skimming vs. actually reading the text. None of the characters were really ones you wanted to root for...except for some of the cats and dogs! Sadly,...more

I absolutely loved this book. Everything about it. I was thrilled when I learned it was apart of a series! Many people gave the story low ratings because of the fact that some animals passed away and were injured. That's life. If you're reading a book about a veterinarians office, don't expect everything to be a happy ending because that's not how life is. Anyway, I've always wanted to live out in the country and wanted to work with animals. This book kind of reminded me of myself. Really enjoye...more

It was competent and fun and brought back memories of reading 'All Creatures Great and Small' as a teen. Like ACGAS, each chapter seemed to bring about a different animal/owner adventure and introduced lots of small English country village characters, but unlike ACGAS, I don't remember James Herriot pining away over failed romances and the...more

Sometimes, I have to escape from what I spend most of my reading time on and comfort fiction is what I want. City Girl, Country Vet fills the bill in a lot of ways with just a few very minor quibbles.

I’m inordinately attached to stories about veterinarians in rural areas, usually preferring real vets’ tales about their own experiences (thank you, James Herriot!), but fiction is OK, too, and I imagine some of this story might be based on real life since Ms. Woodman started out as a small animal vet. There’s something about the rural atmosphere and the animals and the people who, let’s face it, are just not the same as urban folk, and visiting with them is always a pleasure. This particular book threw me a curve by featuring a protagonist who, for most of the story, reminds me of Joe Btfsplk, the comic strip character who’s followed everywhere by a rain cloud and is a terrible jinx. Poor Maz, she can’t seem to do anything right and antagonizes or disappoints practically everyone in the small village during her temporary job as a relief vet. That was actually kind of refreshing and certainly took away the threat of sappiness that some vet-related books fall prey to. On the other hand, this black cloud seemed to go on too long and I sometimes found myself wondering if Maz would ever find at least one or two bright spots to relieve the angst.

Luckily, a hint of impending romance serves to lighten the mood and it’s the kind of romance I like—understated, no sex (not that I have anything against sex, mind you, but I prefer it in the background), a good deal of will-he-won’t-she, and an ending that’s only moderately predictable. I also found the village denizens thoroughly entertaining even if a teeny bit stereotypical.

Then there are the animals. The village of Talyton St. George has two vet practices, one that does small animals only and one that does small and large. The large animals make several appearances but it’s the small animals that steal the show and life and death are both present. Being a rational human being, I suspect anyone that reads a book like this is already an animal lover and the author does not disappoint us—a hamster named Harriet/Harry, a dog named Robbie, a cat named Tripod, a dog named Petra, a pony named Skye, a cat named Ginge, and so many others are all utterly charming and bring a smile to the reader’s face along with occasional tears.

A shocking tragedy that endangers animals and humans alike brings the story to a turning point and I found the denouement most satisfying. The author could have easily ended things there but, happily, she didn’t, and several sequels are already out in the UK with the fifth coming out in December 2012. I hope the US publisher will put these on a fast track because I’m eager to read them all.

Our main character in this book is Maz Harwood. She is a vet who up until recent events have worked as a vet in the city. Her partner who also is her boss decides he wants to make another go of a relationship with his ex-wife which breaks Maz's heart and makes working in that environment hard so she decides to leave work.

An opportunity comes up for Maz to help out her old college friend Emma who has a vet practice in the country and it seems the right time for her so accepts Emma's proposal. Little does Maz know just how hard this will be as the vet clinic is in financial trouble which is left for Maz to sort out but does she manage this or does she just make things worse?

As you can expect there is a love interest in this book who comes by the name of Alex but like many romances things do not go smoothly especially due to the fact that part of the financial ruin of the vetinary clinic is thanks to Alex's family vet practice. It just goes to show you can not choose who you are going to fall in love with.

I found this book a light hearted read. There were many references to animals in the general running of a vetinary clinic so if you are in deed an animal lover I think you would thoroughly enjoy this book. I found many parts of the book very predictable but this didn't ruin the book it just had you gasping at the characters in the book saying how could you not have seen that coming!!

I found this a similar kind of read to a review I done a while back by Lucy Dillon called Lost dogs and Lonely hearts. The city heart broken girl who comes to the country to deal with animals and get her life back on track! There are many characters in this book both human and animals which you sometimes get muddled up but due to it being a light hearted read this does not ruin the story.

If you are looking for a book with humour this is really not the book for you as in my opinion there were no funny points in the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who liked Lost Dogs and Lonely hearts. It definatly would appeal to anyone who loves animals.
There is a follow on to this book called It's a Vets Life. The first chapter of this book is in the end of Trust me I'm a Vet so you can have a snippet before you buy.(less)

Trust Me, I'm a Vet is most definitely a novel of two parts. I say that because the vet aspects and the animal stories were handled beautifully and practically brought me to tears on some occasions, whereas the "chick lit" part of the novel - the contrived way of bringing Maz to Otter House Veterinary Clinic, the romance, the larger-than-life characters - were clunky and cliched.

I say that because the vet aspects and the animal stories were handled beautifully and practically brought me to tears on some occasions, whereas the "chick lit" part of the novel - the contrived way of bringing Maz to Otter House Veterinary Clinic, the romance, the larger-than-life characters - were clunky and cliched.

I do think that Cathy Woodman has talent as a novelist, and I have no doubt that the other novels in this series will pick up in terms of quality, but I think that she needs to find some way of sitting the vet story within the chick lit story more naturally.

I did like Maz as a central narrator - she was warm and lovely, with an incredibly realistic voice. Self deprecating and sad by turn, she gave a great anchor to the novel. Of course, I found Alex Fox-Gifford attractive, in the same manner as Hugo Beauchamp (Fiona Walker) and Rupert Campbell-Black (Jilly Cooper) are two of my favourite male protagonists. I do like a bad boy that you think might be tamed by the right woman!

However, the various personalities from the sleepy village got lost in amongst each other. I kept having to flick back and forth, to tell my Fifi's from my Cheryl's, which I thought was a weakness of the novel. And, frankly, I couldn't stand Emma - the vet who asks Maz to take over while she flits off on a six month trip round the world. Who on earth would leave their best friend to deal with the situation she has managed to put her vet's practice into?

Also, I found Trust Me, I'm a Vet to be both too realistic and not realistic enough! I say this because I like my chick lit to be escapist, and so having financial troubles as one of the central issues was a little too close to read life. And yet I found it ridiculous that Maz was so against living in Talyton, because we weren't given realistic reasons for her not wanting to stay.

So, definitely a mixed bag. However, the animal stories were *so* good that I am more than prepared to pick up the second book in the series to see if Woodman can find a way to reconcile both aspects into one awesome story. Therefore recommended tentatively - at the worst, it's a light read that goes well with Pimm's on a summer's afternoon. (less)

This was a good reminder for me to not judge a book by its cover. Title right up my alley, photo of a girl in wellies and a cute pug in a rainjacket? Sign me up! UGH - I just could NOT get into this book. After about 75 pages, I gave up. Didn't care about the protagonist (already have forgotten her name) or the cliched love interest (the hot vet at the competing clinic!). Too many other good books to read . . . so I took this one back to the library.

Meh. Clearly the author was a vet bc that's where the writing shines. The other stuff, not so much. I never did get around lo liking Maz, and frankly found Emma somewhat annoying. I read it in one or two sittings and I wanted to like it since the concept always has so much potential (city girl moves to country and meets eccentric characters). This book seemed to have fewer eccentric characters and more mean, spiteful ones. It made for an anxious read.

At the conclusion of the first chapter, I realized that this book was likely to be quite sappy, silly, and predictable... and yet I chose to keep reading. Sappy and silly, it was, and it certainly did not require any exertion of brain power. Predictable is perhaps an understatement. It was a very quick read, although I admit to glossing quickly over some parts due to an increasingly waning interest level. I am not likely to suggest this to anyone, but it entertained me enough for a few hours.

Ok - had a good premise but I found the character of Maz to be weak, and quite frankly wimpy.

I wasn't sure about this when I started but it had good reviews. Maz is asked to cover a vet practice while Emma and her husband Ben go on vacation. The vet practice has financial troubles; there is a fire at one of the animal-lover's homes; and falling in love happens too.
