An Overview

A wandering rabbit and an abandoned baby bring Patrick Hunter and Megan Murphy together in Thanksgiving. Will the chemistry between them be enough to do the rest?

Main Body

The ball of romance gets rolling in Thanksgiving all because of a rabbit. That rabbit belongs to Dr. Patrick Hunter, but it’s in the yard of Megan Murphy. Initially, she thinks it’s cute until it starts eating her skirt. Dr Hunter scoops up Tibbles and while Megan wants to lecture him about his rabbit, he’s too handsome to get angry at.

A few days later she runs into Tibbles again, as Tibbles is running down the street. Worried something will happen to the little fluffy guy, Murphy grabs him and takes him home. As she is discussing bunny-parenting skills with Dr. Hunter, one of his pediatric patients shows up and hands him her baby. She says she will be back in two weeks and dashes away.

Instead of sending the baby to human services, Megan and the doctor decide to take turns watching little Timmy until his mother returns, while also searching for her, just in case she isn’t planning on coming back. Over the next few weeks, the two of them start to form a bond. From day one you can feel the chemistry between the two and it builds continually through the book.

Not finding the missing mother, they even start to discuss how they are going to take care of Timmy together. Adding to the bond is the fact that it’s Thanksgiving and they link up to prepare a monster dinner for both of their families.

Unfortunately their new plans of an instant family are dashed when Timmy’s mother does return to pick him up and the two are left baby-less and wondering if they should continue. While many people read Janet Evanovich books for the mystery part, this book is more focused on romance with a side of mystery.

That doesn’t make it any the less a fun read if you go into it with that mindset. It’s a fast and cute book, but not necessarily a book that you can’t live without.

The Narration

Not surprisingly, CJ Critt does it again. In Thanksgiving she does a superb job of bringing all the characters to life through slight changes in her voice and tone. She is a joy to listen to.
