Take two cats, a dog, and a
determined woman…
Animal lover Abby Pimm isn’t
looking for love. With two rescue cats, one rescue dog, a struggling business,
and her fourteen-year-old sister to raise, she’s got her hands full. What she
needs is an angel – though she’ll settle for the devil if he’ll invest in her
fledgling company and keep it afloat.
Add a six-year-old girl…
Wealthy businessman Holden Ramsay
is no devil. He’s doing all the right things, and when he’s forced to care for
his ex’s six-year-old daughter, he ends up hiring Abby as a temporary sitter –
a woman who lights up his damaged heart, and perks up other organs as well. A
woman who might be his redemption…or his downfall.
Who’s rescuing who?
The animals
that Abby rescued think maybe it’s time they do a little rescue work of their
own—because sometimes humans in love can be so dense…
Excerpt:
Abby watched Holden
Ramsay stride up her front sidewalk, purpose in every firm step. Daisy had told
her he was coming to pick up Cara and, in the future, would be dropping her off
in the mornings. If not for the girl’s sad little face, she might have smiled
at Daisy and made her apologies.
That and the fact that she desperately
needed the money. Daisy’s proposal was an answer to the prayer she hadn’t made.
Enough to pay a few bills and get them over this hump.
Only two weeks…
By then she would think of something to
keep them going. Something to save them all.
She crossed her arms and leaned against
the doorjamb.
He hadn’t changed. A face like that
could be on a movie poster. A chin that looked stubborn. A line permanently
etched into his forehead. Brows slashed above silvery-blue eyes that made her
feel as if he were peering into her soul.
“Well, if it isn’t the Big Bad Wolf at
my door,” she said.
His face that had been set in hard lines
made a lightning change to surprise. The lower half of his face opened into a
grin, and she thought it was like watching a large rock crack in half.
Still looking at him, she amended that
to a very handsome rock.
“Do you really want me to say the Big Bad
Wolf’s reply, Little Red?”
She groaned, though she’d asked for it.
When would she learn to keep her mouth shut? So what if keeping her mouth shut
was boring? She could be boring.
But not today.
She pushed away from the doorjamb. “Only
if you want to get your shin kicked.”
“Hard to resist that line. I could take
my chances.”
“And I could kick higher.”
He laughed again and shook his head.
“You have an odd effect on me.”
“Join the crowd.” She gestured behind
him, as if hundreds of confused, invisible people were milling there, afraid to
get too close to her. “So you are human. That’s not what I’ve been hearing.”
“I’m sure it’s nothing Ryan ever said
about me.”
“It was a long time ago that I dated
your brother for a glorious ten days.” She rolled her eyes, though there was a
small ache in her chest. Not for Ryan. For her parents, who’d laughed at her
when she’d fumed at them about Ryan and his brother, until she’d laughed, too.
She tamped the ache down. She preferred
to think they were still alive somewhere, in another dimension, another place.
Maybe just a breath away, sending her and Grace love. Telling her they believed
in her. Telling her not to let one of the city’s wealthiest bachelors overwhelm
her.
As if.
“My brother’s an asshole,” he said.
“No arguments.” She grinned. “You said
the same thing nine years ago when I went to your house and asked for my
physics book back.”
“Demanded it back. Said you were going
to call the police on Ryan if I didn’t get it for you.” He lowered his head to
peer down at her, reminding her that her feet were bare, and she was about ten
inches shorter than his six-foot-or-more height.
She straightened her spine. “And you
told me to go ahead and call the police.”
He chuckled.
“You got the book for me anyway.”
“I was afraid you would combust in my
grandmother’s foyer if I didn’t. How did you do in physics, anyway?”
She opened
the screen door. “Like I said, a long time ago. Come on in.”
Review:
This is a book for romance lovers and pet lovers! Hearts
in Motion by Edie Ramer was a fun upbeat read that left me smiling when I
turned the last page. I loved the use of POV’s, especially when we get the POV
from Abby’s rescue pets. The hero and heroine in this book are not your typical
pairing. Abby is fun loving, lively and Holden is buttoned-up and way to
serious. Holden needs Abby’s help with
his niece and Abby needs the financial assistance for her new business venture.
They both pair together well and their chemistry is great. They each offer a
little of something the other one really needs in their life aside from the
obvious (even if they don’t realize it).
Abby’s pets help them find their way to each other! I love a book that
makes me smile!
Hearts in Motion
gets 4 STARS from Save Your Money for Books and is added to my list of books to
re-read when I need to smile.

Author Info:
In my stories, miracles are interrupted… but sometimes a few sneak through. I like to think miracles happen in life too. Part of the reason I feel this way is because I was weaned on fairy tales. But when my mother unleashed me into the aisles of my local library I gravitated to Nancy Drew, I also devoured comic books about Wonder Woman and Super Girl. My penchant for strong heroines who don’t wait for met to save them is reflected in my books.

| Author- Edie Ramer |
I started my writing career selling short stories
for mystery magazines and anthologies. I’ve published quite a few paranormal
romances and I’ve even tiptoed into the sci fi romance genre. Now I write
contemporary romance with heart, attitude and magic. I love rating a magical realism
series in the small village of Miracle, Wisconsin. These are stand-alone books,
and anything can and does happen. Everyone gets a chance to tell their story,
from a cat to a young blogger to a young woman to young seniors.
I don’t think I’ll ever get bored with this series
and I hope my readers feel the same way. My goal is to make readers laugh a
little, cry a little and feel a lot happy.
I live in southeastern Wisconsin with my husband,
dog and a very special cat. You can follow me on my personal blog, my group blog, Musical Musings, Facebook and Twitter.
Until next time..
Happy Reading
