Review
This short story made my heart ache at first and then the sweetness of the story gave me a happiness that made my broken heart melt. The synopsis starts out by saying, “What if one night changed your life forever?” That is exactly what happens to Maisie our heroine. Her life turns upside down and rips her apart in just a matter of minutes one fateful night and the only thing she can do to stay sane is work as much as possible to keep those memories away. Her life consists of work and home even if it is her sister’s home until an impossibly handsome exotic animal veterinarian, Ryan Tucker, moves into town and waltzes into the diner she works at and ever so slowly mends the broken heart she was left with.
I cannot begin to tell you how this book gave me so many feel-good moments. The heart breaking moments are made up for with all the sweetness and leaves you saying aww so many times. This is a great, quick read for anyone looking for a heartwarming story! I give this 4 smooches!!!
