Ms. Regnery really outdid herself with “The Vixen and the Vet”.Honestly, 5 stars, just isn't enough.This IS an all-American love story, that I can truly see being turned into a classic. At least for me. After I finished reading it, I told the author how speechless I was, and that I was an emotional mess – in a good way – and, hours later, I still, pretty much feel the same.This book put me thru so many emotions; I laughed, I was sad, I was angry, I feltanxious, and I cried. At times, I didn't even know I was crying until I caught myself either sniffling or swiping the stray tears from my cheeks. I don't think you could describe this book in one sentence, better than the author did.“Think Beauty and the Beast with the Star Spangled Banner playing in the background”Savannah, who's sort of lost and dumbstruck after she lost her her job at a HUGE newspaper in New York City, returns home to Danvers, VA for the summer. Caught up in scandal and hurt by someone she thought she could trust, she's now a broken woman, at an all-time low, back at her parents house as she watches her jovial younger sister prepare for her wedding day. Talk about being dealt a bad deck of cards in the game of life! Then, you have Asher, a sweet, sweet man who was disfigured while in the service years prior, living his life practically classified as solitary confinement, in a mansion overlooking the town. He's sort of built this, fortress around himself, allowing no one in to get close or to get to know the real him, except for an old family friend that is now his house keeper, Miss. Potts (clever naming her btw!) who actually turns out to be quite the matchmaker, if I must say! That sneaky woman, ha!Asher was content to live alone in his castle on the hill, secluded from everything and everyone, that is, until, young Savannah was offered at a second chance to redeem herself as the woman she once was...and comes knocking on the beasts' door...Anyone who reads romance NEEDS to read this book, I promise you, you won't regret it. I especially love the fact that for the first 2 months of being published, the author will be donating half of the earnings towards the charity for wounded vets called Operation Mend. LOVE THAT!!!I actually highlighted a lot of lines and quotes from this story because I got that “butterflies-in-your-stomach” feeling A LOT!!! I like to listen to music as I read, and when I read the lines“I'm not fit to rejoin the human race. But now he was. And Savannah had made him want a second chance at living...”The song that was being played was “Chances” by Five for Fighting, I thought it was thePERFECT song and what great timing!!Thank you for writing this story Ms. Regnery, I will cherish it, always!
