From the blurb:

It’s just a one-night stand, they said. It’ll be simple, no-strings fun, they said. They. Lied.

I’m done with love and being broken-hearted. The only dogs I want to deal with are the ones I treat in the veterinary clinic I work at.

But at thirty-four, having my first one-night stand can’t hurt. Right? The rules are pretty simple.

1. Don’t spend the night.
2. Don’t see him again.
3. Don’t share anything personal.
4. Don’t fall in love with him.

But when Haze, the guy I spent a blazing hot night with and haven’t been able to forget about, shows up as our new receptionist, the rules fly out the window.

There’s no way one night could lead to anything more. So why has Haze got me hoping this might just last?


Got Me Hoping is book 1 in the Vet Shop Boys series and can be read as a stand-alone. Expect plenty of humor, found family, a vet who’s almost given up on love, sizzling chemistry, an unexpected office romance, an adorable golden retriever, a foul-mouthed parrot, an eye-popping world first discovery, and a heartwarming happily ever after!

Deanna’s Review:

First of all, let me tell you that I loved, loved, LOVED this book! Noah is so sweet, and I just want to wrap him up in a hug. And Haze… who wouldn’t want a man like Haze. His secret talent is nothing to sneeze at, either. (Read the book, and you’ll know what I mean.) I love a story that starts as a one-night stand that evolves into something more. As a chronically single woman, it’s a nice reminder that it’s good to get out there and have fun. You never know if that one-night thing could turn into something more.

But I digress! The dynamic between Noah and Haze is electric, and the best part of it all – other than the happily ever after that is – is that there is NO third-act breakup. As an avid reader and writer, I can recognize the merits of the plot device. It’s refreshing to read a love story where the two come together and grow closer throughout the book.

With that said, I highly recommend you check out Got Me Hoping by Casey Cox. Click the link to get your copy, or check it out on KU today. I will be adding the rest of the Vet Shop Boys series to my TBR, so be on the lookout for those reviews.
