I remember mentioning a while back that I was on the lookout for a Christian romance book that was unapologetic about puns as that was one of the tropes in my own story 😊 Thankfully, I didn't have to wait too long as A Valentine for a Vet by Carolyn Miller not only highlights these amazing puns but also uses them to charm the female main character. This second book in the Three Creek Ranch series manages to be lighthearted while tackling very serious issues at the same time and releases on May 29, 2025.Many thanks to the author for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
Book Synopsis
He knows this hardworking vet loves his dog, but can she find room in her heart for him, too?
Veterinarian Jessie James loves her animals, loves her work, loves her family. She's got a lot on her plate, which means there's no time for a certain dishy teammate of her pro hockey-player brother, despite what others may think.
Tom Chavez knows he's in the friend zone, but isn't one to give up too easily, especially when he's concerned that this hardworking vet might be working herself into an early grave.
When tragedy strikes, he's going to do all he can to show her he's more than just a shoulder to cry on, and that he cares about more than her skills with his dog.

Book Thoughts
This book was completely worth the wait after reading A Cameo for a Cowgirl. Just knowing that a wedding dance was pivotal to how this story would begin created a lot of anticipation for what would happen next, which Carolyn Miller more than fully delivered! Jess and Tom are both tenderhearted souls who do their best to honour one another, even in the moments they aren't aware of it. Neither of them take advantage of the other person, and both have many lessons to learn from God before they are able to start their romance, making this book just as much of a meaningful spiritual journey.
I loved Tom's sense of humour and the joy he brings to the pages that he appears on, contrasting the serious circumstances that Jess finds herself in as a veterinarian who is starting out in her career. His presence—coupled with his heart for prayer—make Tom a delight to read about, and I'm thankful that his steadfast nature balances with Jess so well when she's feeling overwhelmed by life. The messages around faith and identity are powerfully conveyed and further illuminate how easily we can lose ourselves in our work. Readers who enjoy sweet banter, puns, and adorable dog antics will have their hearts captured as they see God at work in the lives of two people who willingly yield themselves to Him.
