Fiction. Literature. HTML:

London veterinarian Maz Harwood has learned the hard way that love and work don't mix. So when Emma, her best friend from vet school, asks her to look after her practice in the English countryside for six months, Maz decides that is just the change of scenery she needs. But country life is trickier than she could have imagined.
It is one thing to trade her smart heels for wellies; it's another to deal with unwelcoming locals, an intense rivalry with the town's other vet practice, and worse yet, the realization that her friend's practice is in as bad a shape as Maz's own broken heart. Things get even more complicated when she meets her rival's dashing son, who is totally unsuitable as a prospect . . . or is he? Can Maz win over the locals, save the lives of her patients, keep Emma's practice from going under . . . and find love again?
Cathy Woodman, a fresh new voice in women's fiction, has written a warm, breezy romantic comedy with just enough mishap and plenty of adorable four-legged creatures.
Previously published in the UK as Trust Me, I'm A Vet.

Good modern romance about a London girl who takes over her country vet friend's practice while she is on holiday. Predictable but a nice read. ( )

Meh. Clearly the author was a vet bc that's where the writing shines. The other stuff, not so much. I never did get around lo liking Maz, and frankly found Emma somewhat annoying. I read it in one or two sittings and I wanted to like it since the concept always has so much potential (city girl moves to country and meets eccentric characters). This book seemed to have fewer eccentric characters and more mean, spiteful ones. It made for an anxious read. ( )

review

2 women attend the same vet school and become friends. One of the women opens her veterinarian practice and desperately needs a vacation with her husband. After hearing of her girlfriend's breakup with her boyfriend, she calls upon her friend for her assistance. Her friend, Maz, agrees to be her relief while she's on holiday. Maz soon finds out that she doesn't belong in the country, which is where her friend's practice is. She is a city girl and finds it rather dull in the country.

It is dull until she finds out that they have a lamb shearing contest among other events. She tries to win over the country folk but they are set in their ways. And then, there's a problem with the veterinarian who's been in the area for a long time. It's a rivalry that she can't ignore.

This is wonderful read. It will have you laughing, crying and there's a hint of romance in it also. ( )

City Girl, Country Vet turned out to be a better story than I had even hoped! I loved it! The writing was so wonderful, I was immediately drawn in. In fact I stayed up into the early morning hours just to finish it; I did not want to put it down!

Maz (I have to admit I love her name, it fits her!) is an English vet. Her friend Emma is also a vet, they went to school together. Now Emma needs Maz’s help to run her country practice while she and her husband go on a 6 month holiday. Maz, who is a city girl, finds life in the country not at all what she expected. From trying to save Emma’s practice to trying to save animals from a burning house, Maz has her hands full.

It wasn’t until I was finished reading did I find out that this book was printed earlier under a different title and is the first in a series. I am really excited about that and I cannot wait to read the rest of this series. ( )
