Elisabeth Nash has spent years dreaming of returning to the small town of Trusty, Colorado, where she spent summers with her favorite aunt. When she inherits her aunt’s farmette, she closes her Los Angeles pet bakery and pampering business, sure that life in Trusty will be as peaceful and as welcoming as she remembers. But being an outsider in the close-knit town proves to be very different from the happy summers she remembers from her childhood—and falling for Trusty’s hot, wealthy, and sinfully irresistible veterinarian, Ross Braden, sends the rumor mill into a frenzy.
Ross Braden learned long ago that gossip spreads faster than weeds in his small hometown, and Ross loves nothing more than his privacy. For that reason, he doesn’t date women who live in Trusty. But that was before blond, beautiful, and refreshingly honest Elisabeth Nash flew into his vet clinic seeking help for her panicked piglet and turned his comfortable life—and his heart—inside out.
Despite rumors about Elisabeth’s motives toward her aunt’s property, passion brews between Elisabeth and Ross. Every steamy kiss and every sensual touch brings the pair closer together, and when Ross helps Elisabeth try to fit into the town he adores, it makes their bond even stronger. But even Elisabeth’s efforts toward reaching the community, and the love she and Ross so desperately believe in, might not be enough for the protective small town to offer them a future.

Jennifer’s Review of Flirting With Love
Review (4.5 Stars): I loved Ross and Elisabeth together and they just seemed perfect for one another. Elisabeth moved to Trusty after she inherited her beloved aunt’s property and pie business and wanted to get away from the crazy life that she was living in Los Angeles. She had always loved the time that she spent with her aunt growing up and couldn’t imagine a better place to start a new life than her aunt’s farm. Ross was looking for that special someone but couldn’t imagine finding that person in Trusty, where everyone knew everyone else and there was no such thing as privacy. Having Elisabeth walk into his clinic wasn’t what he expected but exactly what he needed.
Elisabeth was such a sweet character because she was so caring and gentle when you would think that she would be a stuck up California girl since she had spent most of her life in Los Angeles. She wanted the simple things in life and loved being around animals, just like Ross. He knew the town would have trouble accepting a stranger but he couldn’t fight the feelings that he developed for Elisabeth and you could just tell that they belonged together. This was such a great sexy small-town romance and I think that this is my favorite one of the series so far.
