Cover Description:

Photographer Ian Kroft’s dream is to finish his book on fellow veterans. When his father offers him the funds he needs in exchange for persuading a family to sell their farm, it sounds simple. Then Ian meets Colette and in a flash everything changes.

Cherry Ridge Farm is home to Colette’s family—and to her animal rescue center. The slim, gorgeous veterinarian has no intention of selling. Soon Ian’s chasing after her runaway dog and laughing at her jokes, and he knows that if he lets slip his real purpose, she’ll never forgive him. Ian’s torn between his book and his new romance…all while his father is clamoring for him to seal the deal.

Colette can trust a dog to come back when she calls, but a man? Colette’s been burned more than once. Then a sweet, athletic photographer pops into her life and makes her wonder if it’s time to picture a new future.

Read on for my thoughts on Animal Prints.  No true spoilers, promise.

Animal Prints is such a delightful, lightweight, fast-paced romance perfect for summer reading.

Oh what a tangled web…  Ian needs his father’s financial support in order to produce a book that showcases his photography and veterans returning home.  In order to get those funds he has to do one small thing – convince a particular family to sell their farm to his dad.  How difficult can that be?

Colette is a veterinarian, she has her practice and also runs a rescue center from her family’s home, Cherry Ridge Farm (that same farm that Ian is supposed to talk the owners into selling).  She’s been hurt in the romance department before and has no intention of walking into that guaranteed heartache again any time soon.  She just hadn’t counted on Ian.

As Ian gets to know Colette’s family and the work that she does, he find himself falling for this beautiful lady.  How in the world is he going to tell her what he’s up to without kissing any chance at a relationship goodbye?

I enjoyed Animal Prints very much and would not hesitate to recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys a really good  love story.  This is a fun, entertaining and engaging read.  You will want to shake Ian, but you’ll also be rooting for him to make all of this right and claim his love.  Give this one a try and you’ll be captivated by this charming story.
