I received an arc from NetGalley and Mills and Boon in exchange for an honest review.

I found this very difficult book to rate because, although it was very well written, I did not like the story line one little bit.

I did not find it, romantic, nor emotionally, satisfying because of the first wife scenario, and the even more unpleasant plot line of her parents response to the grieving husband and son.

This is a very personal viewpoint, and may well not be shared by other readers.

SPOILER ALERT!!!
Hero is married, but first wife is in coma. Divided loyalties found guilty conscience interfere with any possibility of romance.

This was a tough Roman to read, with some very sensitive handling, and what came across as honest handling of trauma, long term comas and grief. There is a lot of medical intervention but I didn’t feel bombarded with medical terms, it was just part of the story and development. The role of the dogs cannot be underplayed either, they were all fabulous and who doesn’t love a baby alpaca called Pamela?

I loved Jenny and Rob, and enjoyed their story very much.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for allowing me to read this in exchange for an honest review.

A beautiful story of love, loss, and finding the courage to step into the unknown, this was a wonderfully heartwarming story. Everyone knows everyone so there is a great sense of community, especially in a time of need.It is clear that Jenny and Rob are incredibly good at what they do, and the chemistry between them is undeniable.

This is a a beautiful story that I didn't know I needed to read. As it begins our heroine Jenny, paramedic extraordinaire, abseils down a cliff to rescue a man and his dog. Rob is the small hospital doctor and our hero. These two have instant chemistry and a fair few ups and downs to contend with. Nobody is more deserving of a HEA than these two and I'm so very glad that they achieve it.
