Publisher Description

The first book in a new romantic comedy series by USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Lynx about a hockey player who was anything but nice. When he needed the help of his teammate's sister, the sweet-as-pie local veterinarian, to save his dog, he wondered if his secret crush from the past might be more than puppy love.
My teammates called me Grumpy Old Man.
I understood the grumpy part. It wasn't as if I was the life of the party. But I wasn't old. Geez, I was only thirty-two.
Despite the only partly correct nickname, there's two things you needed to know about me. The first, I loved my dog and would do anything for that crazy mutt.
The second thing, well, it involved my teammates' sister. The woman he told me to stay away from. What nobody knew was I have had a crush on her for years.
Why was I telling you that?
My dog was in an accident and the only one who could save him? You guessed it. My secret crush was the local veterinarian.
What did I do to thank her? I got her fired. Now my secret crush thought I was a grumpy jerk too.

Ignore All the Negative Reviews

At the heart of the narrative is Daisy, a graduate who, despite her qualifications, finds herself in a job that feels out of reach. Critics may argue that her journey is centered solely around her veterinary career, yet they miss the deeper, more intricate layers woven throughout the story. Daisy's initial misstep into a position for which she feels underqualified is merely a backdrop against which the true story unfolds—a tale of self-discovery and empowerment.

Intertwined with Daisy's journey is that of a young man grappling with the aftermath of his mother’s death. His struggle to navigate a world that seems to conspire against him is both heartbreaking and relatable. The author portrays his battles, illustrating how grief can distort one's perception of reality.

Daisy and the young man are not alone in their journeys; they are surrounded by a cast of characters who embody the theme of betrayal and broken promises. The betrayals are from those they trusted, highlighting the importance of self-advocacy and the courage to pursue one's own path despite adversity.

In a narrative that balances heartache with hope, this book is a reminder that while the road to fulfillment may be fraught with obstacles, it is through these very challenges that we discover our strength and resilience.

I couldn’t get past the first chapter. A veterinarian working as a vet tech waiting on her boss to promote her? It doesn’t work like that
