Temporarily exiled from his job due to subordination, Grant Emerson is planning to use his time helping his mother sell the family farm. However, his mother has other plans, which frustrates Grant. Former classmate Meg Kettering steps in to assist. Widowed with two daughters, Meg has certainly caught Grant’s attention.

This delightful story is a quick read, although there’s not much backstory about Grant’s job and the reasons behind his problems. One of the book’s charms is the litter of puppies that have just been born. Then there are Meg’s two adorable daughters. Everything comes together in this heartwarming love story.

A huge thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read an ARC of this title!

I really enjoyed reading Grant and Meg's story, especially their transformations, discovery and trust of faith, and the importance family values. While I wish there weren't quite so many gaps about Grant's career as a Billings police officer, I know that wasn't really essential for the book's story line, but certainly could have added to it. The ending was sweet and definitely well deserved.

If someone is looking for an easy read and a clean romance, this would be included with titles I'd consider suggesting. You'll find a large "teddy bear", adorable puppies, and darling little girls to also be very appealing aspects of the book.
