LET’S JUST BE FRIENDS a perfect, feel-good romance by Katy TurnerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Holly Anderson thought she'd struck the jackpot with a great placement with a large modern veterinary practice in Berkshire, but then there was a problem and instead she's been sent to Eastercraig, a small fishing village in the Scottish Highlands, for a year to assist a bad-tempered old vet in his run-down practice. Holly was kicked in the head by a cow when she was training and has avoided large animal veterinary work ever since - how will she cope when half her practice will be farms?
Holly is just settling down on her first night in the beautiful renovated cottage which has been rented for her, having a luxurious bath, when she hears an intruder in the house. Her intruder turns out to be local man Greg Dunbar, slightly the worse for wear. Greg knows the cottage's owner and has frequently been allowed to stay overnight when tipsy, or visiting his brother who runs the family farm.
Holly can hardly believe the friendliness of the locals, the practice's veterinary nurse and receptionist both befriend her and take her to the pub on her first night, if only the chief vet Hugh were half as friendly, it seems like nothing she can do is right in his eyes.
Greg and Holly strike up a friendship, meeting every so often when Greg comes back to see his mother, although he and his brother Angus have had a falling-out and aren't on speaking terms. But with Greg's legal practice in Aberdeen and Holly only in Eastercraig for 12 months there doesn't seem to be time for anything more ...
I liked this, it was easy-going, fairly predictable, but a lovely sweet romance, perfect beach reading or even sitting by the fire with a mug of coffee and a packet of biscuits.
I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
