Quinn Valley Ranch #12
Haylee's Homecoming
Haylee Evans has never had a real family or a place to call home.
Her whole life, all she wanted to do was work with animals. After working hard to finally realize that dream, she suddenly finds herself with a thirteen-year-old sister to raise.
They both need a fresh start, so they move to Quinn Valley where her sister can have the life Haylee never did.
Joel is happy with his life, living comfortably with his loyal dog, Stanley by his side. He owns his own vet clinic and is doing what he loves to do.
That is all turned upside down the day Haylee walks into the Quinn Valley Paws-pital for a job interview.
When Haylee and Joel end up involved in a serious animal rescue case, they have to work together to save the animals who are counting on them to survive. They are both determined to give these animals a chance at a better life.
But what will happen when the past catches up to Haylee and threatens to destroy her own chance to realize her dream of having a family and a home of her own? Will she be able to learn how to trust and love before it's too late?

Excellent story!
Haylee had been through so much in her life. She was bounced around from foster home to foster home. Then after she was grown, she found out that she had a little sister. She was able to get custody of her sister and then moved back to Quinn Valley to work at Joel's Paw-ispital. This is a great story! I loved visiting back in Quinn Valley with the wonderful extended Quinn family!

Animals & Romance Mix Wonderfully in this Must Read Story!
Kay P. Dawson has sensitivity crafted a Fantastic, Engrossing, Clean Romance. Haylee doesn't see her own strength. I'm so glad that Joel does. But Stanley, Joel's dog, makes this a Must Read Story!

I really enjoyed this one
The combination of the love story with the animal rescues was so good, especially with the unusual love story between 2 different animals.

Tear jerking but Awesome
Joel- towns vet and Haylee- grew up as a foster child and now a vet assistant, taking care of her 13 yr old sis.
I enjoyed reading this captivating tearjerker that is fantastically written with unforgettable characters . Between reading about her background/ how she was treated or felt and the situation of the animals they rescued I needed a box of tissues. Their story has a wonderful HEA.
