Big-city veterinarian Heather Fitzgerald didn't plan on having kids…until her niece is orphaned one tragic night. Soon she's trading in her ambitious life for a small-town animal rescue. Heather didn't expect to fall for tiny Oaks Crossing…or its most charming bachelor farmer. But when Josh Kinley saves her niece from a near-tragic accident, he becomes more than her hero. Josh never thought he'd fall in love again—and most assuredly not with another city woman. But he can't resist the two adorable Fitzgerald females. Now if Josh can only convince Heather to put down roots and make a home with him…
Mia Ross loves great stories. She enjoys reading about fascinating people, long-ago times, and exotic places. But only for a little while, because her reality is pretty sweet. Married to her college sweetheart, she's the proud mom of two amazing kids whose schedules keep her hopping. Busy as she is, she can't imagine trading her life for anyone else's--and she has a pretty good imagination.
True confession: I'm enamoured with this small Kentucky town...and all the critters at the animal rescue...and the whole McKinley clan...and Josh McKinley in particular. Oh. My. Word. Josh! My heart's all aflutter over that 'country boy' as Heather likes to call him. He's a sweetheart. Warm and funny and kind. He notices what needs doing and gets right to it. It takes Heather some time to warm up to him because he just seems too good to be true and...well...she's not in the market for romance and Josh is a little too tempting. Okay a whole lot too tempting so she really needs to keep her guard up. Which proves impossible when Josh turns one of his farm boy grins her way. Be. Still. My. Heart. A scrumptiously sweet romance guaranteed to curl toes and raise heart rates. You've been forewarned.
When I first seen this book, I didn't know that it belong to a series 'Oaks Crossing', which I read the heroes brother Drew's story, fancy that. I will say, I didn't remember much about Josh in the other book, could be due to I don't remember his page time being very big or just a brain fart on my part.
Anywho, I really enjoyed him in this book. He was so charming, just a good 'ol southern boy raised right with a golden tongue. He believes in being polite and treating a lady right which he does clear from the beginning with Heather. Down south everyone helps a person out and Josh seems to be there whenever Heather needs help, which she always wants to repay him back and being a southern gentleman, he tells her he'll take one of her smiles instead. Oh he was such a flirt, but in a good harmless way, it was just how he is, a natural charmer. I loved his interactions with Heather and her niece, Bailey. At the end when Josh proposes by giving Bailey a ring that looks just like Heather's, only a smaller version to fit her first year old finger and asks both to marry, I just thought that was cute, I love how the hero includes the children in this sort of when when he asks their mom to marry him. I also liked the waltz lesson and bachelor auction off scenes.
All in all, it was a pretty good read, one I enjoyed.
Falling For The Single Mom a Oaks Crossing Series by Mia Ross. Veterinarian Heather Fitzgerald moves to Oaks Crossing with her niece, whose parents died in an accident. She meets the Kinley family. They welcome them into their family. Josh Kinley and Heather have feeling for each over. If you like stories about Vets and animals you will love this story. Very good.
I loved Falling for the Single Mom! I love the Oaks Crossing series and am sad that this is the last book in the series. Although it is a series, each book can stand alone. The conflict between Heather and Josh was predictable but the author, Mia Ross, did a great job having the characters resolve the conflict in ways that fit their personalities. I fell in love with the Kinley family during this series. Great stories involving couples, animals, and sometimes kids!
