A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Playing for Love (Summer Beach Vets #1) - H. Y. Hanna

This book is on the shorter side, around 200 pages.  To be perfectly honest, I have no idea how it ended up on my Kindle.  I do know that I got it for free, so that combined with the fact that it has Australia and a dog in it could have won me over.

Sara has come to Summer Beach, Australia, to escape the gossip following her around L.A.  She plans on spending some time with her cousin and just forgetting her failed relationship with a celebrity.  The man was just using her to further his career and when Sara found out the truth, the backlash crushed her.

Craig is an attractive vet that Sara meets when she brings a stray Beagle into his busy vet practice.  Their first encounter isn't exactly all fireworks and music, but they are attracted to one another.  Sara begins to question whether or not it's a good idea.  Not only because she isn't going to be in Australia long, but she also finds out that Craig is a star on a TV series about vets.

Being on the short side, I don't want to give too much of the story away.  The problems facing these two are predictable and the story isn't really all that unique.  It was a nice little read with some minor issues.  I didn't really get the end, it seemed a bit of a stretch, but if you're in the mood for a light, romantic read, this might be up your alley.

Other than a few bits of language, there's some passionate kissing and that's about it.  I was afraid there was going to be some sex in there, but it was clean in that respect. There's more in this series, but I don't plan on reading more.  It wasn't bad, it's just not the type of thing I enjoy reading.
