Dr. Carter Reece is the new vet and meets Issac Brannigan when doing house calls with the retiring vet. Issac is blind. Carter is attacted to him and they begin to spend time together. Issac is gay but inexperienced. Carter is very upset because Issac is not showing his service dog any affection. He doesn't know how to approach this with Issac. Issac can be very difficult. He pushes people away. Issac tells Carter he's considering giving the dog back saying they are not compatible. Carter leaves in anger. A difficult and dangerous situation forces Issac to look at things differently. Carter is there for him as this happens. I really love all the books I've read by this author. The pace of the writing and relationships is perfect. The emotion is visceral. Very enjoyable. I can't wait to read the sequel.
