I won this book during a FB party during the holidays.  This author was new to me, but I loved her writing style.  This is a quick read about a very special reunion on Christmas eve that was totally unexpected.Noah Sullivan came to Cooper Mountain Animal Hospital about 5 weeks ago.  He came to the area on a 3 year commitment program to pay off his student vet school loans.  Being the newest person hired, he gets to work all the off shifts like Christmas eve.  He's alone this Christmas with his parents off visiting his sister in Portland, so he doesn't mind working.  Veronica has been finishing up all the decorations at the clinic and fussing about his love life or lack of it.  She's giving him advice on finding a girl to date when the bell over the door chimes.Caitlin Butler is a beautiful, young woman who teaches preschool in town.  Her close friends are traveling to visit family and have asked her to house sit for them.  She has agreed and is looking forward to her Christmas presents of a juicy novel and a new movie, both should keep her busy until her friends return.  She is used to being alone on the holidays since her parents sold their home 5 years ago and bought a new RV so they could travel.  When taking out the garbage she finds a bundle of fun that at first she thinks is dead, but upon inspection realizes it's a kitten that is wet and unmoving.  She rushes to Cooper Mountain Animal Hospital.At the door chime both Veronica and Noah look up, but Noah recognizes those incredible eyes looking up at him.  Eyes he never forgot.  In college he dated the most extraordinary girl, but when he left for vet school he broke off their relationship.  Turns out the one girl he has never forgotten has just walked into the clinic.  Caitlin looks up and her breath catches.  He heart was broken when her college sweetheart leaves for vet school and breaks up with her.  After several years and much thought she realized that it would never have worked anyhow.  He had dreams of working in a big city and she had dreams of returning to live in this small town.  Now seeing Noah brings back a rush of memories and feelings she thought had died years ago.This is a  sweet story.  The author introduces us to two obviously lonely people who never forgot each other.  She gives us background on the characters and their previous relationship to see how much each has grown and developed since their last meeting.  I love stories written about Montana and wish she had of used more descriptions of the town and people.  To me this is a feel good romance that met my expectations.This is a  short, feel good romance with a holiday theme.  I would recommend it to anyone looking for a sweet romance and a quick read.  I will be reading more of this author.
