Overview

USA Today Bestseller List on August 30th, 2012.

Katelyn Jacks was used to being front and center as a model. But she never had to confront the Keeneston Grapevine! After retiring from the runway and returning to town to open a new animal clinic, Katelyn found that her life in the public eye was anything but over. While working hard to establish herself as the new veterinarian in town, Katelyn finds her life uprooted by a storm of love, gossip, and a vicious group of criminals.

Marshall Davies is the new Sheriff in Keeneston. He is also right at the top of the town’s most eligible bachelor list. His affinity for teasing the hot new veterinarian in town has led to a rush of emotions that he wasn’t ready for. Marshall finds his easy days of breaking up fights at the local PTA meetings are over when he and Katelyn discover that a dog-fighting ring has stormed into their normally idyllic town. As their love struggles to break through, they must battle to save the lives of the dogs and each other.

    Coming home again to Keeneston! Definately a must read in Kathl

    Coming home again to Keeneston! Definately a must read in Kathleen
    Brooks' Bluegrass series!! Marshall Davies is now the sherriff - and
    he just cannot help himself from picking on former model now vet Katelyn
    Jacks. Could Marshall have a bit more competition then he can handle as
    Katelyn and Ahmed get closer while she tends to a dog brutally mauled
    and used in an international dog-fighting ring? I think this is the
    best yet in the Bluegrass series! I absolutely loved this book! I
    chuckled outloud well into the early hours of the morning as I devoured
    this lastest installment. Poor Marshall LOL!!!

    Definate must read. Another great book in this series.

    Another great book in the Bluegrass series.
    This is the story of Marshall the town sheriff. He is the new sheriff and has a one night stand with Katelyn, a spoiled rich girl model. Or so he thinks. He can't seem to get her off his mind, especially since she is the one to sneak out. She is the new veterinarian in town and has to see him often. Many weird things have been happening and throws them together. Many dogs have been found around town and they are badly injured. Katelyn comes to the rescue and saves the dogs. This story was very good and easy to follow along. Loved the story and did not want to put the book down. All my old favorite characters make an appearance. Definitely want to read the whole series, but can just read this only. Better if read in order.
    My favorite character is Ahmed and hopes he finds love and gets his own book. Can't wait for the next in the series.

    Pit bulls arent bad

    I have to say i am most disappointed. Ive read all her books and was extremely disappointed when i was reading this and how she portraits pit bulls. They are not dangerous dogs. Its people like her who paint this picture of these loveable dogs as monsters. I will never read another book she writes. Punish the deed not the breed. I have a pit bull and she gives nothing but love and kisses. Clearly this writer hasnt been educated or around pit bulls to know how loving and friendly nature they have. Us humans are the guys. We try to train them to kill, we are the bad guys. Go research oggy, wallace, hector, see how lovable and harmless they are!

    great series

    I have really enjoyed all of the books in this series. I want to see Ahmed's story. Doesn't seem fair that he always has to give up the girl. Can't wait to read about everyone again.

    EXCELLENT WEEKEND READ!!!

    Loved this addition to an already great series. I recommend the entire series of course, but this one will be fine as a stand alone read as well. The characters and their lives make for enjoyable fast paced page turning.

    Great addition to the series, this one is probably my favorite so far.
    These are both romantic and suspenseful, and clean enough that you
    aren't ashamed to lend them to your family and friends. . I love the
    meddling Rose sisters, but please tell me there is a story for Ahmed in
    the future.

    Fabulous

    I always love going back for a visit in Keeneston. This book was very entertaining and let's you go back and see how some of the other characters are doing. I love Kathleen, she has become one of my favorite authors. Being from Kentucky, she does a great job of setting up that small town, country feel.

    Yes! Yes! Yes! Another winner from Bluegrass country. It¿s

    Yes! Yes! Yes! Another winner from Bluegrass country. It’s Marshall
    Davies turn to fall under the spell of a strong beautiful woman.
    Veterinarian Katelyn Jacks refuses to fall at the feet of the towns new
    arrogant playboy sheriff but keeps finding herself in bed with him.
    Ducking, dodging and avoiding him anyway she can only works so long in a
    town the size of Keenstone, Kentucky. When trouble in the form of
    organized dogfighting brings them together, Katelyn can’t resist the
    pull any more than Marshall can. All our old friends are back helping
    these two find each other, making this a complete and wonderful visit to
    the Bluegrass country. Ms Brooks shares with us the horrible nature of
    dogfighting without stomach turning graphics, and as always she brings
    enough belly laughs and chuckles to balance the serious nature of the
    crime they are investigating. Well done once again Kathleen Brooks.
