The Vixen And The Vet by Katy Regnery has to be one of the most beautiful and captivating stories that I have read this year.Asher Lee was the golden boy of Danvers, VA while growing up. He lost his parents when he was young but he worked through the grief and went on to college. Then he joined the military because he wanted to give back to his country. He was severely injured by an IED while trying to rescue another soldier. After multiple surgeries he came home to Danvers without his right hand, one ear and severe scarring of his face. Because of his horrific injuries he was not welcomed back by the people of this small town and he became a recluse. He was such a strong character who deeply loved his country and literally gave almost everything.Savannah Carmichael has returned to Danvers in disgrace. She was fired from her reporting job in NYC (her dream job) after writing a story based on inaccurate information from a current boyfriend. She was a strong and independent woman who now felt like a failure. She gets another opportunity to write for a paper doing a human interest piece on a veteran for the 4th of July edition. She picks Asher and that's when their story begins.This story is a very special romantic and emotional love story between two people who have lost their way in the world. It's not all sadness. There are lighter moments as Savannah and Asher begin to know each other. The secondary characters in this story were so important to the storyline. Mrs. Potts, Scarlet, Trent and his brother Lance were so well developed they were integral to the story and Savannah and Asher's growth.I want to thank Katy for her treatment of Asher, which will reflect onto other soldiers who come home disfigured/scarred from serving their country. I also want to thank Katy for donating 50% of the books proceeds through June and July to Operation Mend.This is a really terrific read that will not disappoint any one who enjoys a romance novel.I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
