Friend. Baby wrangler. Family man?

A McCabe comes to the rescue!


Ex-soldier turned rancher Matt McCabe wants to help his recently widowed friend and veterinarian, Sara Anderson. She would like him to join her in training service dogs for veterans—oddly, something Matt is averse to. Instead he volunteers to take care of her adorable eight-month-old son, Charley! This “favor” feels more like family every day…though their troubled pasts threaten a happy future. Are their growing love and shared experiences enough to keep them together?

Dear Readers,

The love stories in my family have always been fodder for romance novels.

My maternal grandmother and grandfather simultaneously ran a business together and raised four daughters, long before it was an accepted thing to do.  Grandpa O’Dell ran the gas station and the barber shop; Grandma O’Dell managed the grocery and cooked for customers.  They were true partners and madly in love and parted, tragically, way too soon when he succumbed to cancer when he was in his early fifties.  Grandma grieved deeply but eventually picked herself up, started a new career as a cafeteria chef, and eventually found deep romantic love and happiness again, in the form of a second marriage.

I could have read this in two sittings but as school has started I’ve been a little bit busy! BUT I love this sweet, psychology based romance. It actually taught me something about the give 95% and take 5% in a relationship…interesting thought to ponder. Anyway it made me smile, sigh and yes cry! I have never read this author. I will be looking at more of her books! I love a handsome cowboy and of course the sweet hesitant prideful romance, with dogs and babies thrown in the mix!
