Ten years ago, Erin had her heart broken by fellow vet student Oli.  Now, she’s his landlord!

All Erin wants is independence and security. All Oli does is travel the world after locuming at practices for a few months. So when he comes back into Erin’s life, she knows it’s temporary, no matter the lingering looks he gives her.

With Christmas approaching, the vet practice is busier than ever, and Erin is surprised at how well she and Oli work together to help the animals of Hartfell. From sharing meals in her cramped cottage to meandering the village fayre, the wall Erin has built around her heart begins to crumble.

But Oli’s contract is coming to an end, and he’s shown no sign of wanting to stay. Has she set herself up for another heartbreak from the only man she’s ever loved? Or will she realise that being independent sometimes means relying on others, and security comes with taking risks?

Publisher:  Canelo Romance
My Rating:  4.5 stars

Christmas at the Home Farm Vets is the second title in the Hartfell Village series, featuring Erin and Oli, who have a bit of history from a decade ago.  Now he’s a visiting vet, and she’s his landlord.  Dare they revisit history with a different outcome this time?

I had such a good time with Erin and Oli.  They have a complicated relationship right now, a maybe we can do this, but what if it won’t work kind of feel.  It’s going to take some trust and willingness to take a few risks before their happy ending can come about.  Between working together, living in the same space, and well-meaning family and friends, this is a fun, entertaining romance with all the specialness of the holidays mixed in.  At times, the animals (who are mostly adorable) will steal scenes from the humans… which is entirely expected. (grin)

If you love a well-written, believable, emotional romance that mixes the past and the present, animal encounters, and a couple you can’t help but root for their happy ending, then Christmas at the Home Farm Vets by Suzanne Snow is a perfect Christmas fit for you.
