"There was some cheesy things like the talking animals and such but...it IS centered around Christmas so you have to allow for that. For such a short book, there seemed to be A LOT of emotionally damaged people... Since I have read the other books in the series, it ended up being kind of a side note to tell this particular story and is a good lead in to what's going to happen to her sister."
"This is a short, feel good read. I haven't read a Silhouette novel in awhile and I wouldn't make this my normal fare but this is a great Christmas romance written by one of my favorite romance writers. It definitely leaves you smiling foolishly at the end :)"
"4th in the Stone Creek series and also connected to the McKettrick series--it follows the 9th book in the series, The McKettrick Way (about Brad O'Ballivan and Meg McKettrick). This is the first modern day Stone Creek book.
Olivia O'Ballivan, descendant of Sam O'Ballivan, is the town veterinarian. She is jokingly called Dr. Doolittle for her ability to communicate with animals. She really does communicate with them, too. Olivia is taken with her new neighbor, Tanner Quinn, who is the contractor for her new animal clinic in town.
Tanner Quinn is a widow who tries to keep his 12-year-old daughter safe by storing her away in boarding schools. Problem is, she misses her dad and her pony, who also is depressed without her. Tanner doesn't attach to anyone or anything since he lost his wife, but Olivia has him thinking twice about her and his daughter.
The book is a little goofy...Olivia's talking with her dog and the other animals is a little bit out there. Still, it is cute. It reads like a Christmas movie-of-the-week. I could totally see this one on Lifetime.
I have read all the Stone Creek books, but have only made it through a few of the McKettrick books (I think I am through the first 4), so I was a little lost with all the McKettrick talk (Brad, Meg, Sierra was mentioned, etc.). It didn't hurt the story for me a bit, but I was trying to put the pieces together a lot. To make it easier, reading the current day McKettrick books (especially McKettrick's Way) would be good.
Cute and Sweet...a good read to get into the Christmas spirit."
