My Sexy Veterinarian — Bonnie Phelps

5 Stars: "This book is my first book by this author and I found it to be masterfully crafted, with thought, care, insight, and attention to detail -- poetic prose that touch the heart and echo on the soul, full of deep emotion, abundant in pain and loss and, best of all, overflowing in joy and love..."

Nate Kincaid, wants to get out of debt and get his family off his back about his relationship status. The second means he needs a serious girlfriend, but after the death of his fiancé, he isn't ready. No one knows about his nightmares -- the ones that chase him into the dark places of grief. Dealing with debt means his fledgling veterinary practice must be successful -- business before anything else. Always. Maybe a pretend relationship would solve his second problem so he can concentrate on the first.

Full-time psychologist and part-time model, Lauren Royall, has the perfect life. As a therapist she helps people. As a model, her free spirit reigns. She senses his pain and wants to help. When Nate suggests she pose as his girlfriend, she accepts on a lark. She hadn't counted on falling for the guy or the painful memories from her past his situation evokes.

Sparks fly whenever they're together, but can they help each other heal?
