Valentine's Cowboy Rescue

Jenny was not in the army now, but in Wyoming. She rented a cabin, she could hear the snow fall. Her rescue dog loved to roll and played in it. A noise, brought back the fear of when she was overseas. Her dog, Val wanted outside, a truck with a man injured, she was intrigued by him from the first, A. offhand proposal, then he went to visit family, would he return. Changes are not welcome by these two who are dealing with past trauma Can love and a rescue dog help change that. Enjoyed reading. Delightful story of how healing and a new love comes. Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.

This first story in the series, Cowboys of Wildcat Creek is a sweet, clean contemporary novel about two individuals that never expected to fall in love. Jenny Schofield is an Army nurse that after an attack in Afghanistan, has left the Army and is back home living in an isolated cabin with her service dog, Val. She suffers from PTSD and the dog is her constant companion. In the middle of a snowstorm she ends up rescuing cowboy Tucker Mason. From that moment on, a friendship develops. The attraction is there, though subtle. Jenny fears that she’ll never have a normal life due to her PTSD and stoic Tucker’s experience in relationships have left him cautious to give his heart away. It’s a touching story about taking a leap of faith and finding a special person when they least expected. It’s also a reminder of the effects war has on the brave men and women who are willing to put their lives in danger to keep us and our country safe. As a society and individuals, we need to be more conscious of their needs and do more to help them upon their return. I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
