Review:

Made to Love You by Nan Reinhardt is the 4th book in her wonderful The Walkers of River’s Edge series. We meet Annabelle Walker, who is an architect, creating designs for her family’s construction firm.  Anna has recently broken up with her ex-boyfriend, and seems content, happy about her life at the present, and is thrilled about her siblings all finding love. 

Anna is riding her bike, and comes across an injured puppy, who must have been dumped.  She hears a car, and a man turns up asking for directions; to her shock, the man happens to be a new veterinarian.  Sawyer Braxton is the new vet, and he helps Anna to try and save the dog. Anna will lead him to the John Price’s Animal Clinic, and he ends up being the dog’s first patient. While Anna is still at the clinic, Sawyer decides to name the female dog, Trixie.

Though Anna does not like pets, she is pressured to consider adopting, Trixie, who would remain at the hospital for a few weeks. River’s Edge welcomed Sawyer, into the town. Sawyer immediately finds himself very attracted to Anna, as she willingly teaches him how to bicycle ride, and in time, she agrees to temporarily volunteer to watch over Trixie. But as time passes, Anna will fall in love with Trixie, as well as her feelings for Sawyer. Sawyer is determined to win over Anna, to help her find new love with him and learn to trust again.

I really loved Sawyer, as he was sweet, kind and a total gentleman.  I also loved Anna, though she was bent on not becoming to close, having been hurt before; but she slowly started falling for Sawyer. I loved loved Trixie, who won both Anna and Sawyer’s heart.

Made to Love You was a wonderful addition to this wonderful The Walkers of River’s Edge series. Made To Love You was a sweet romance, wonderful couple, adorable dog, fun and great secondary characters.  Once again, Nan Reinhardt gives us another wonderful story in River’s Edge, which was so very well written.  No surprise, as I love all of her previous books.  If you enjoy romance, great couple, wonderful secondary characters, and fantastic small town, I suggest you read this book.

Description:
They were only faking it … .

A landscape designer for his family’s construction firm, Joe Walker, is nearing completion on one of the most important projects of his career—gardens for spec homes that if they wow, Walker Construction will survive. When a freak accident sidelines him with a broken leg, the firm hires a competitor. Her ideas are radically different, but his stalker ex arrives to play nurse, and Joe needs more than gardening help.

After six-years working in English manor gardens, horticulturist Kara Sudbury returns to River’s Edge to help in her grandparents’ struggling garden center. She’s thrilled when Jackson Walker hires her to execute his injured cousin’s designs. Ignoring Joe is difficult because he’s as sexy now as he was in high school and even more stubborn. But when. Kara’s up for the subterfuge…for a price, but then the pretense feels real, and Kara is reminded that every rose has its thorns.

 

 

Review:

Make it Real by Nan Reinhardt is the 2nd book in her wonderful The Walkers of River’s Edge series. We meet Kara Sudbury, our heroine, who returned to River’s Edge, to help her grandparents with their struggling garden center.  Joe Walker, our hero, is a landscape designer for his family’s construction firm; and he is currently working on a very important project. Joe has a freak accident that will sideline him with a broken leg and a protruding bone. Kara happened to come to his rescue, and tries to get him to move away from poison ivy, which will make matters worse. It is Kara who helps get Joe to the hospital, and call his family.

Kara visits Joe at the hospital, and also finds Joe’s ex-girlfriend falling all over him, with Joe telling the nurses to kick her out; as they broke up weeks ago.  Joe asks Kara if she can pretend to be his girlfriend, so he can get rid of the other girl; they agree that Kara will play the current girlfriend role, and Joe will let Kara handle the landscaping and pay her for the work.  This will help Kara bring the Sudbury’s Nursery back on track, allowing them to bring more business.    

Kara is very good at her job, especially after spending a number of years in England, as a landscaper.  She tries to tell Joe about more colorful plants to will make things look better, which in time he will begin to realize that Kara knows what she is doing. Joe’s brother Jackson, hires her to execute his injured cousin’s designs.  Kara also aids in helping Joe get around from his severe injury, which in a short time, they will both begin to have feelings for each other.  The chemistry between them was off the wall.

I really enjoyed watching Joe and Kara fall in love. I also loved all the Walker family, as well as Kara’s grandparents.  It was a bit sad close to the end, which I won’t reveal why; so not to ruin it for you. 

What follows is a sweet wonderful heartwarming romantic story, with a great couple, excellent secondary characters; and great small town.  Make It Real was so very well written by Nan Reinhardt; as I have read her other previous series, and loved them.   If you enjoy a fun, sweet romance, I suggest you read Make It Real.
