Product Description
Montana Hendrix has found her calling—working with therapy dogs. With a career she loves in a hometown she adores, she's finally ready to look for her own happily ever after. Could one of her dogs help her find Mr. Right…or maybe Dr. Right?
Surgeon Simon Bradley prefers the sterility of the hospital to the messiness of real life, especially when real life includes an accident-prone mutt and a woman whose kisses make him want what he knows he can't have. Scarred since childhood, he avoids emotional entanglement by moving from place to place to heal children who need his skillful touch. Can his growing feelings for Montana lead him to find a home in Fool's Gold, or will he walk away, taking her broken heart with him?
Review
A wonderful Beauty and the Beast tale!,
By S. Cave (Puyallup, WA United States)
In the second of the latest Fool's Gold trilogy by Susan Mallery, we get Montana Hendrix and Simon Bradley...so far, my favorite couple of the triplet Hendrix sisters. Mostly, it's all about Simon. While we meet him not at his best, it quickly becomes obvious that he's wounded, inside and out, and Montana is just the right person to heal him. Whereas the first book in the trilogy didn't quite hit the spot, this one kept my attention and touched my heart. As Simon struggles to heal others, he refuses to believe he is worthy of healing himself. Montana, who has a family who gives her unconditional love, still struggles with believing she's enough for a man, but she's willing to put herself out there for Simon to see, flaws and all. Their love story is sexy and sweet and brought tears to my eyes more than once.
Of course, as with all the Fool's Gold books, Mallery populates them with a lot of great secondary characters and we revisit many of them again on Only Yours. I also loved the secondary stories of Montana working with the service dogs, her mother's ventures into the dating world (I have a feeling we'll see more of that later) and best of all, the story of Kalinda, the little burn victim Simon is caring for. All of this adds up to a truly emotionally satisfying story.
