All Erin wants is independence and security. All Oli does is travel the world after locuming at practises for a few months. So when he comes back into Erin’s life, she knows it’s temporary, no matter the lingering looks he gives her.

With Christmas approaching, the vet practice is busier than ever, and Erin is surprised at how well she and Oli work together to help the animals of Hartfell. From sharing meals in her cramped cottage to meandering the village fayre, the wall Erin has built around her heart begins to crumble.

But Oli’s contract is coming to an end and he’s shown no sign of wanting to stay. Has she set herself up for another heartbreak from the only man she’s ever loved? Or will she realise that being independent sometimes means relying on others, and security comes with taking risks?

My Thoughts:

When Erin and Oli’s worlds collide after a few years apart, they are both vets and Oli is now going to be living with her for a few months. They both cannot believe this is happening and they seem to be getting on well but when Oli’s contract at the vets comes to an end Erin is sad but she does not know how Oli is feeling towards her, should she say something or just let him go? It was an easy and light hearted story, the characters were relatable. I did feel as though I would of liked more of the vet and animal side of things rather than the will they? won’t they? this is book two in the Hartfell Village Series and can be read as a standalone. It was a good pick up read but I felt as though the story petered off halfway through.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
