When a veterinarian and a construction worker connect, it takes mishaps, mistakes, and a Rhodesian Ridgeback named Rex to show them they’re made for each other.

Dr. Carter Falon is content living a quiet life in a small town caring for his animal patients. That doesn't mean he's not looking for a distraction. After finding himself precariously wedged… naked and at the mercy of a drop-dead gorgeous construction worker, Carter hires his savior to renovate his home.

When Tanner Grady’s best friend and new niece needed him, he uprooted and relocated without a second thought. His life has since been centered on work and spending time with his family, but when he comes to the rescue of a cute vet, Tanner finds he's a lot more interested in the homeowner than the house he’s renovating.

Excerpt

My eyes widened when they landed on his form. Damn, it wasn’t every day a client greeted me in the nude. Looking at the path between me and who I assumed to be Carter on the ground, I tried not to let my eyes linger for too long on his smooth expanse of skin. He was lightly toned, with a softness about him that was impossible to not notice, despite trying my hardest not to.

With a shake of my head, I calculated each step I took to get to his side. Once I made it safely to the top, the floorboards creaking under my booted feet, Carter angled himself to turn and look at me. Definitely pissed off and in pain, and perhaps a bit mortified too, a light blush covering his cheeks. His gaze roamed me from bottom to top before landing on my own. I quirked my brow in amusement and question while strategically ignoring how fucking pretty his brown eyes were. “So…?” I offered.

He sighed, and I watched in fascination as his Adam’s apple bobbed when he swallowed. “I rushed from the piece-of-crap shower when I heard the knock. My foot went through the board, and it’s stuck.” His pink cheeks turned crimson.

Unable to stay the small smile tugging at my lips, I grinned as I stepped closer. I took my time to get to him, wanting to help the guy out. The last thing he needed was me falling on my ass. Clearing my throat, I crouched down at his side, my focus now on his leg and foot.

The whole area was rotten and would need ripping out. But for the time being, I’d need to tear up the two surrounding boards to get his ankle free. “You have tried to get it out, right?” I felt like a jackass for asking, but it was always best to check first.

Carter huffed out a breath. “Yeah, I did. It’s wedged against something. I tried pulling it out, but it’s a no go. It’s tighter than a virgin ass.”

My gaze whipped to his. What the fuck?With lifted brows, I stared wide-eyed at him, drawing another blush from him.

“Shoot, sorry. That was inappropriate.” His eyes widened in horror. “I meant, it’s wedged. Erm. It’s just wedged tight, and—”

I grinned. “It’s all good. Give me a sec.” The poor guy looked like he wanted to join his foot in the space under the floorboards and curl over. He needed an out, and I needed to get some air in my lungs away from his intoxicating smell and firm thighs, which were impossible to ignore in such close proximity.

4 star review

We have Carter a vet in a small town who inherited a dilapidated house from his grandfather. Then we have a Tanner who Carter hires to remodel said house. Let me just say that I love these two characters. This books isn't an insta-love story, which is refreshing since that's how most books tend to be lately. There's several months of tension building between these two.

I loved the loyalty Tanner has for his best friend Davis and Davis's little girl Libby. Uprooting his life to move to a small town to help him raise her, it shows true friendship/brotherhood.

The vet clinic Carter works for comes under a temporary new management. New management happens to be his boss, Denver's, godson, Scott.

Scott is super awkward with Carter when he meets him for the first time. Turns out he's a little phobic towards Carter and is making his working life hell. I was shocked by Scott's demeanor towards Carter. I absolutely loath the word fag, but I know it's something that people in the LGBTQ community have to deal with. On top of which, he's now trying to make his private life hell too. Only, Tanner witnesses it and is having none of it. This was really the catalyst to Carter and Tanner's relationship, what really gets Tanner to drop his fraternizing rule and things really heat up between the fellas.

All in all i loved the story line and I'm actually hoping to see more of Davis, Scott (yes even him. In a way he redeems himself, you'll see) and Lauren in future books.
