As the newest veterinarian in the small town of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Vaughn Winters doesn't have time for relationships. He is too busy healing injuries and establishing his reputation as a trustworthy vet. But when a strange man waves him down on a stormy night seeking help for his injured dog, Vaughn simply can't refuse.

Obviously homeless and with no means to pay for Roxy's medical care, Vaughn throws caution to the wind and strikes a deal with the hesitant stranger that would allow Roxy the time to heal and provide some much needed TLC to his property as well. As the days pass, Vaughn's curiosity grows. Alex's dedication to the job is as surprising as the sexy tats hidden beneath his rugged clothes. What could have pushed this kind, hardworking man to the streets, or cast such dark shadows in his otherwise bright blue eyes?

Will six weeks be enough time to earn Alex's trust? Or will asking questions cause him to tuck tail and run as soon as Roxy is able?

Roxy’s Recovery by Kim Breyon…. WOW… just WOW!

This book grabbed my heart from almost the opening words and by I think chapter 2 I was in tears (and I don’t cry often when reading).

The story of Vaughn and Alex was beautifully done. Alex’s pain and hurt was tangible but more importantly so well done as him being slow to open and share perfectly suited the character crafted.

The use of Vaughn’s sister added to the story but it wasn’t drama for drama, the author pulled it off as genuine care and love.

Alex slowly opening up, Alex’s work ethic all had me wanting to reach into my kindle and hug him.

I will say the why Alex was on the streets may make some readers really think about how they judge others and the perception of those who might just need a helping hand; I am not going to say more though I will add more as it relates to some stereotypes about abuse and gender this really pulls at the reader. I am going to say anymore  because I am to let the reader feel all the feels and have their heart broken and repaired by this new to new author.

The use of the animals in this book is so perfect especially for a Vet and man who when we meet feels the only thing that will even love him is his pug, Roxy.

I know without a doubt this family has their forever happy!

Oh the epilogue….. I must mention that because it was pure perfection!
