The Perfect Match

In the book, The Perfect Match, Kimberly Cates introduces us to some very interesting characters. Rowena has ended up as the family failure in a family of overachievers. Her odd talent seems to be matching pets with future owners. She comes to a little town in Illinois to open up a pet store. Cash is a deputy who is busy juggling a full work load with raising two little girls by himself. One daughter is physically challenged, the other is trying to find her place in the family. They meet when Rowena has this Newfoundland dog that she needs to find a home for.

This book is for people who love unusual relationship in their romance novels, who like characters that take time to get to know each other, and lovers who have responsibilities and everyday duties - who can't drop everything to be "in love." (Oh, I guess one could call them "normal?") And people who love animals - will like this heart warming story. (Okay, that sounds overly goopy - but it is true.)

A really nice story about people who you start to care about, and the kids are a stitch too. I'm curious to see what Cates' other books are like. A fun read.
