This book contains two complete novels, and I've so far only read STRAY HEARTS by Jane Sullivan, but I had to stop and write a review. Stray Hearts is about a woman, Kay, who is terrified of animals. When she catches her fiance with another woman, she hires a dog groomer to shave naughty words into the coats of his prize cocker spaniels. She gets caught, and the law comes down hard--she has to do volunteer work in an animal shelter.

The hero is the vet who runs the shelter, and he puts poor Kay to work scooping cat boxes! He's skeptical about her, and she's terrified of the animals. I won't tell you how they work it out, but I can assure you it's funny! A great, fast read, very well written, with lots of reasons to smile and sometimes laugh out loud. Especially fun if you like animals.

Jane Sullivan hits it big and hits it funny with STRAY HEARTS. In a fit of revenge, Kay Ramsey has a grooming service shave Up You into her cheating ex-fiance's prize purebred. The insult should have read Up Yours, but the artist ran out of dog. Her sentence to a veterinary clinic and her fear of animals keep the laughs coming and the chemistry sizzling between Kay and the resident vet. This book is a definite MUST READ. I can't wait for the next Jane Sullivan Novel.

I really enjoyed this book! Jane Sullivan has great skill at telling a story that makes you not want to keep reading until the last page and even then you wish that there was more (I can't wait to read her next book). There was a great mix of emotions both tears and laughs and plenty of romance too. I highly recommend this book to anybody who likes romantic comedy.

FROM THE BACK COVER:

The Sheriff and the E-Mail Bride by Liz Ireland:
Caught for good! Does Heartbreak Ridge have a romance curse? No Way! says Sheriff Sam Weston...but he isn't taking any chances. Online, he rounds himself up a lady far from his hometown. The lonesome lawman thinks he's found himself a foolproof courting method-until Shelby, his cyberfiancee, arrives eight months pregnant. Now it looks as if the town's curse may strike again, if Shelby can't win Sam over, and soon!

Stray Hearts by Jane Sullivan:

It's a dog-eat-dog world...Kay Ramsey believed her ex-fiance deserved to pay for cheating on her, so she shaved his prizewinning cocker spaniels! Her punishment? A hundred hours of community service at a local animal shelter. Scared silly of four-legged furry animals, Key knew she wouldn't be able to stick out her sentence...until she saw veterinarian Matt Forester. One hundred hours wouldn't be nearly long enough...
