This is a delighful, short story romance.  What really kept this story from being your typical romance dribble (which is not to say that I don't love a sappy, predictible love story) is that the main female isn't just in love with the local vet, she's in love with his daughter and has essentially already assumed the role of mother and companion in their lives.  I felt that the dialogue was believable and given that it's a short story so there aren't many pages in which to build a bond between reader and protagonists, I think the author does a good job of relating what it feels like when your love rejects you.  And I think the heroine sticks up for herself without coming off as a bitter shrew, as is sometimes the case in romance stories.If you are looking for a well-written, quick morsel of feel-good romance, then I highly recommend this story.  Oh, and I'd rate this as PG-13 at most; it's more about the main man figuring out his true feelings and letting down his guard than it it is about heated passion.  These two characters already care for each other and enjoy each other's company so this is a story about revealing and accepting existing love.
