Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice and Book Beginnings is hosted by Rose City Reader. The idea is to share a sentence or so from the first page and the 56th page of the book you are currently reading! Also, I will now also include a brief synopsis.
A Brief Synopsis: Veterinarian Rory Gallagher chose a different path from his brothers, both of whom became first responders in the lovely little town of Darling, Vermont. Rory's always had an affinity for animals--and the ladies. Known for his impressive track record in breaking hearts, Rory never meant to hurt anyone; he's just never been in a hurry to settle down. It's not as if he needs to pay a visit to the town's famed Kissing Bridge to magically find love. He'll know The One when he sees her. . .right?
Oaklee Ferguson is the kid sister of Rory's best friend--and, even now that she's all grown up, remains immune to the pet-doctor's charms. When she shows up at Rory's clinic late one night--devastated after hitting a stray dog with her car--Rory's so-called "bedroom eyes" are the last thing on her mind. Still, his care and kindness toward the dog, and his concern for her feelings, catches Oaklee by surprise. . .and soon the two (and rescued dog makes three!) begin to share a deep connection that neither could have ever imagined. Could it be that love has been waiting for them by the bridge all along?
Beginning of the Book
Oaklee Collier was so sick of attending bridal and baby showers she was thinking of developing a chronic and convenient illness just so she wouldn't have to go.

Truth was Rory did think she was lonely. Sure, she went to work and seemed to love her job, but there was something else about her. Something he couldn't quite put his finger on, but lurked behind her eyes.

Oooh, I like the first line. This isn't an author I'm familiar with either. Hope you enjoy it and the weather!
ReplyDeleteI never heard of her before, but I got an invite to read and review the book and though why not. The weather was gorgeous, but by evening the temperature dropped like 20 degrees. That's early spring for you.
DeleteSounds like the makings of a sweet read! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying it a lot. Just what the doctor ordered.
DeleteI love the cover! Here is a link to my Friday 56 post: https://coffeeandcatsblog.wordpress.com/2017/03/24/friday-56-28/
ReplyDeleteLooks like such a charming small town. Thanks for stopping by.
