BLURB

Kyle Vaughn had three goals in life: become a vet, find the man of his dreams, and start a family. He easily checked off the first item on the list when he took over his grandfather’s veterinary practice. Too bad he wasn’t as lucky in love.

Chaz Hamilton took a leap of faith when he decided to pursue a career in writing, but one best seller didn’t mean he could quit his day job. All work and no play threatened to make Chaz a very dull man when the only romantic action he saw was in the pages of his manuscript. Too bad he couldn’t write his own happily every after.

Circumstances pushed the two men together, and one magical kiss beneath fireworks and stars changed everything. Kyle knew his luck had finally turned around and Chaz found a man far better than any book boyfriend ever written. There was just one problem. Chaz has kept a secret from Kyle that could ruin their chance at a beautiful life together.

Kyle and Chaz learn that the best-laid plans often go awry, the heart has a mind of its own, and the greatest love is unscripted.

The books in the Road to Blissville series can be read either as standalone books or as part of the series. This book contains sexually explicit material and is intended for mature adults 18 and older.





Review

If you read Aimee’s Dye Mysteries series you know who Chaz and Kyle are. If you’re jumping in now then you’re in for a treat. You don’t have to read the Curl Up and Dye books before this one, it is a standalone but I HIGHLY recommend you do. There are a lot of little things in there you may miss of you don’t.
I have been dying to know what would happen to these guys and when Aimee said she was going to be writing their story I freaked out! Dr. Dimples AKA Kyle is everything. I thought I'd flock toward the side of Chaz in this book because I grew to love him in the other books, but no. I am team Dimples! He grabbed my heart and holds it still.
Kyle’s struggle is real. It’s beyond relatable and he’s written perfectly. I actually was very angry with Chaz in this book and sometimes thought he deserved whatever Kyle gave him. But Kyle being a grown responsible and very experience human, handled it amazingly well. I had a hard time with Chaz for a while and wanted to thump him on the head a few times but that’s what Josh and Meredith were for. And thank God for them.
You can’t get through this book without falling hard for these guys. You’re cheering for them to the bitter end and Aimee doesn’t fail to drag you there… literally drag you. She doesn’t make it easy for us. Her and her emotions!
There’s tons of sass and class. It really is the best way to describe this book. Sassy characters, classy writing with flair, a true road to Blissville!






EXCERPT
Dr. Vaughn!” A familiar female voice exclaimed. “Oh my goodness! You’re the answer to my prayers.”

            I spun around and faced Jenny Davis who operated the Carter County Animal Shelter. “That’s what he said,” I replied, jerking my thumb in Chaz’s direction without thinking my actions through. Chaz gasped, Josh threw his head back and laughed in delight, and I’m pretty sure that Andy growled. I chanced a peek at Chaz’s and caught him staring at me with a dumbfounded expression on his face. How much more obvious did I need to be that I wanted to see where things could go between us?

            “Is this a bad time?” she asked nervously. “I’d like to ask a favor of you.” My staff and I volunteered ten to fifteen hours a week treating the dogs and cats at her shelter. The last time I was there, she mentioned that she needed to raise money for the shelter. I figured that she wanted to discuss a fundraiser with me.

            “Not at all, Jenny. Josh will be delayed a few minutes, so I have time now.”

            “Well, it’s a big favor,” she said hesitantly. “Remember how I mentioned a fundraiser to you?”

            “Sure and I’ll help out however I can,” I told her.

            “I’m so glad you feel that way because you play a big part in what I have in mind.” She clapped her hands and bounced on her feet. “I can’t believe I didn’t think of this sooner,” she said to herself.

            “How big?” I asked, narrowing my eyes as an uneasy feeling came over me.

            That feeling only increased when she broke eye contact and looked down at her feet. “We’d like to do a calendar with the animals at the shelter. One of my staff is an amateur photographer and is willing to donate the time to take and edit the photos.”

            “So you’re looking for donations to cover the cost of producing the calendars? I’ll gladly help out with that,” I told her. Jenny didn’t meet my offer with as much enthusiasm as I expected.

            “Not exactly the kind of help I was looking for from you,” she said.

            “No? How else can I be of service to you?” I asked, clearly confused. I provided free veterinarian services and offered to…

            “She wants you to pose for the calendar,” Chaz said, interrupting my thoughts.

            I looked over at him and rolled my eyes. “No, she doesn’t.”

            “Oh, I think that’s exactly what she’s working her courage up to ask,” Chaz told me. “Isn’t that right, Jenny?”

            I looked at Jenny, expecting her to brush off his idea, but all I saw was a hopeful gleam in her green eyes. “Me?” I asked in disbelief.

            “Why not you?” Jenny asked, seemingly emboldened when I didn’t refuse the idea outright. “You’re gorgeous, built like a brick house, and adore animals. Who else would I ask?”

            “I don’t know, Jenny,” I said hesitantly. “I’m not very photogenic.”

            “Stop being so modest,” Jenny told me. “You’re exactly what we need. I can see it now…” Her voice trailed off while she envisioned something in her mind. “Shirtless poses with a kitty, cowboy hat and boots while standing beside a horse…”

            “I’d be wearing more than just a pair of boots and a hat, right?” I asked, needing clarification before the conversation went any further.
“Dr. Vaughn!” Jenny’s said in shock. “Why, I’d never suggest such a thing.” Then she covered her mouth with both hands and giggled nervously. “Oh my,” she answered, fanning herself. “That’s not at what I meant at all. Dear me, I meant my offer as a complement, Dr. Vaughn. I thought your love for animals combined with your hunky looks would make a great fundraiser.”

            “It would probably sell a lot of calendars,” Chaz said, chiming in.

            I looked over at him and caught him staring at me speculatively. “But would you buy a calendar?” I asked.

            “Duh,” Chaz said, then added, “it’s for charity.”





I am a wife and mother to three kids, three dogs, and a cat. When I’m not dreaming up stories, I like to lose myself in a good book, cook or bake. I'm a girly tomboy
who paints her fingernails while watching sports and yelling at the referees.
I will always choose the book over the movie. I believe in happily-ever-after. Love inspires everything that I do. Music keeps me sane.
