Greener Pastures Calling, Book Ten of the Once Upon a Vet School series of unpretentious, eminently readable Contemporary Women’s Veterinary Fiction/Romance by horse vet-author Lizzi Tremayne is my #SixSentenceSunday for the week.

Setting is
September 1992, Te Awamutu, New Zealand
Here you go!
The show was good, hysterical even, but my date, Marcus, got progressively more drunk as the evening went on. Obnoxiously drunk, to boot. I was trying to figure out how to get the keys for his shiny black Holden out of his hand and into mine, because as luck would have it, Moira had to cancel to care for her injured sister’s children. How could I complain about that?
So here I was, wondering what to do next, wondering at my brilliance, and feeling trapped. The concept of a bus way out here was a joke, and a taxi… I didn’t make enough money for that, if one even existed in this little backwater town.

The Story:
A new country, a great job, and a good Kiwi bloke.
Life couldn’t be better.
Until it gets worse.
Newly emigrated to New Zealand, equine veterinarian Lena wants a “good Kiwi bloke”, but they’re elusive as their nocturnal namesake. Her history with men is not, shall we say, salubrious.
Nigel’s avoiding females, unless they’re cows, horses, or his mother. After his first marriage, he won’t be responsible for anyone else’s life. Ever again.
Sparks fly when they meet, but not the first time, over the dirty instruments in a filthy cowshed. They’re made for each other… but then Nigel remembers where he first saw her. And then the questions start.
