Series:
Paramedics and Pups (Book 1)
Colleagues, housemates…
Soulmates?
After a disastrous relationship, paramedic Jenny needs
this fresh start in remote Willhua. When her living arrangements fall through,
gorgeous local doc Rob offers Jenny and the injured pup she's just rescued a
room. Their immediate chemistry is overwhelmingly intense, but it's clear this
single dad's life is currently in limbo -- placing him firmly off-limits!
Jenny's scared to open herself up again. Is this instant family worth taking a
chance on?
Good book. Jenny left Sydney after a disastrous relationship
and moved to a small town. On her first day as a paramedic, she is involved in
a rescue that puts all of her skills to the test. After the rescue, she takes
custody of one of the man's dogs, an adorable corgi named Stumpy. When her
landlady pitches a fit over the dog, local doctor Rob offers Jenny a room in the
hospital-owned "doctor's house" he occupies with his son Jacob.
Rob is a single dad raising his son Jacob. His life is in
limbo thanks to a devastating event when Jacob was born. He also deals with
overbearing in-laws who believe Jacob belongs with them.
The sparks between Rob and Jenny are evident from the
moment they meet. They try to ignore them, as Jenny isn't ready for a
relationship after her ex's betrayal, and Rob isn't truly free to pursue them. There
are some sweet scenes between them as they work together and others involving
young Jacob. I also liked their professional teamwork, especially the baby
delivery during the flood. But when they give in to their attraction, and Jenny
later learns the truth of Rob's situation, she can't help feeling that history
is repeating itself. It takes time apart and self-examination for each of them
to put aside the past and look to the future.
Rob's situation is complex, and his in-laws don't help
things. I understood their grief, but their actions regarding their daughter
verged on the cruel. I also disliked their hold over Rob and Jacob. Their
intrusiveness was over-the-top, and Rob should have stopped it long before. The
scene with Jenny and the father-in-law was highly creepy. I was happy to see
the changes that occurred at the end of the book.
The medical portions of the story were interesting. I
always learn something new when I read a book from this line.
