Abigail Apple is running late to meet her blind date when she’s pulled over for speeding. Unfortunately, the follow-the-rules cop doesn’t care that she’s late, let alone that she’s heartbroken because her favorite dog rescue is in danger of being closed. Now she has to meet her date with mud drying on her heels, dog hair covering her dress, and the smell of a barn perfuming her hair. When she arrives, however, Abigail learns her handsome blind date is none other than the cop who pulled her over.

Abigail has no intention of staying until she learns Cooper Hill is heading a committee for the city that will award a six-figure donation to a charity of their choice. So, what’s a girl to do? Abigail decides a second date is the perfect way to convince Cooper to vote for the dog rescue. Soon, however, Abigail is less interested in Cooper’s vote than she is in his deep voice, kind heart, and tender touch.

Will this follow-the-rules cop and this follows-her-heart animal lover learn that despite poor first impressions, second chances can lead to love?

 

My Review: 5 Stars 

Things aren't always as they seem... Abigail has a big heart that's focused on a dog rescue, while Cooper is a rigid stickler for rules. They seem to be complete opposites in every way, yet when they truly "see" each other, the truth just may be uncovered.

I was dying over the first meet between this couple. Dying! This story is full of laughs, dogs, and super great characters. Abigail is so intense, while Cooper is so serious. Opposites really can complement each other and I enjoyed seeing their attraction battle their instincts and interests. Of course, the chemistry was sparking and I lived for those moments of combustion. The secondary characters were a lot of fun too and I'm hoping they each get their own stories.

I love that both Cooper and Abigail are supportive of different charities and are so passionate about them, but it was also good for both of them to think outside of themselves, and said charities, to get a glimpse of other issues out there, causing their eyes to really open.

All in all, this story captures everything--it's light-hearted and fun, yet touches on the reality of life. And above all, the character growth, on all levels, warmed my heart.
