A sweet second chance romance + shelter animals = great series start!
It's easy to root for Matt and Claire (and their changing menagerie!)--it's clear from the start that even though Matt had ended things between them years ago that the spark wasn't gone. Fortunately, life seemed to be determined to throw the two of them together almost nonstop; unfortunately, Matt was more sure than ever that he still wasn't the person that could give Claire her HEA. It's hard to say who was more frustrated by his stubbornness, Claire or the reader, but he does eventually get his head out of his you-know-what and decide to grab happiness when it's right in front of him, resulting in a very happy (hopefully) ever after at last.
Along the way there's all kinds of cuteness with the animals they're helping, fostering, adopting, and training, and some rather obvious clues about what direction future series books might take. If you enjoy second chance romance featuring furry secondary characters, give this one a try!
Rating: 3 1/2 stars / B-
