About The Author

My Review

Eli, a brooding veterinarian, and Aurora, a fiery vet tech, start as polar opposites, each running from their pasts. Over the course of the novel, they begin to bring out the best in each other, helped by a lovable pup named Bert. Supporting characters Matt and Marianne also play a significant role in softening the main characters and bringing them closer together. The romance develops slowly and tentatively, respecting the characters’ complex histories. The story includes various animal patients, adding to its charm. Overall, it is a well-paced romance with likable characters, and satisfying ending, making it an enjoyable read for dog lovers and those in the pet care field.

The Perfect Plan By Caitlin Weaver

She wanted to give the ultimate gift. It became the ultimate betrayal.

Fabiola has spent her life being good. The perfect daughter to her single father. A supportive wife to her entrepreneurial husband, who’s throwing everything they have at launching his start-up.

When Liz needs help starting her own family, Fabiola comes up with the perfect plan. She’s good at being pregnant, and she so badly wants to help her friend. It seems like the greatest gift one woman can give another. And Peter? For Peter – she doesn’t even have to think – she would do anything.

But then one reckless moment changes everything. Now Fabiola must decide who to protect: her best friend, the man she’s never stopped loving, or the child growing inside her. With her marriage unraveling and her teenage daughter hiding secrets of her own, she’s discovering that the hardest promises to keep are the ones we make to ourselves.

About The Author

My Review

The story combines romance and suspense, revolving around Gavin and Sera, who shared an anonymous New Year’s Eve and haven’t forgotten each other since. Sera, now pregnant, doesn’t know how to find Gavin. She is an assistant district attorney who joins a special task force, only to unexpectedly encounter Gavin, a diver with the NYPD’s Harbor Unit. Their initial meeting is awkward, but they soon reconnect and develop a deeper relationship. Sera’s pregnancy shocks Gavin, but he quickly embraces it. Both are initially hesitant to admit their strong feelings but grow closer over time. The suspense element involves a case with a weapons cache and escalating danger, keeping the story engaging. The team’s efforts and the final confrontation add to the story’s intensity and excitement.
