Summary

Brought together by disaster. Kept together by love.

In the aftermath of a deadly earthquake, it's chaos for trauma surgeon Jessica Hansen. Among the many victims, one patient stands out—San Diego Police K-9 search and rescue officer Cal Palmer.

Cal vows to help Kayla, a child orphaned by the disaster. But he needs Jessica's help. Will their shared concern for Kayla and for Cal's canine partner, Scout, allow them to put aside their personal torments and discover the difference love can make?

    

My Review

The beginning of When the Right One Comes Along sucked me right in as Officer Calen or "Cal" Palmer responds to an earthquake as a rescue and recovery K-9 team with his dog, Scout.  It's a dangerous place to be, but he has a job to try to rescue as many as he can and hopefully prevent any further deaths from the catastrophe. In doing so, he takes a chance and ends up meeting Dr. Jessica Hansen in the process. Thus starts a story about two characters who are attracted to each other even though they'd rather not be, thrown together by disaster, who find a connection while helping a little girl and subsequently caring for one K-9 dog. 

Cal is a great character. He has some trust issues due to his past, but he's loyal, heroic, and has a big heart. Jessica is also a great character and softened up Cal a little. She has her own set of struggles and her first impression of Cal isn't good, but as she spends more time around him she finds that her initial impression was off. I really loved how Scout, Cal's dog, added some fun and sweet moments to the story as well. Cal and Jessica find that they have some common interests, but their real bonding happens as they learn about each other's pasts and can relate and understand. They lean on each other and that forges a friendship with the possibility of more, if they'd only open up and let love in.

When the Right One Comes Along was a story of redemption as these characters learn to forgive themselves, in grasping the love that is in front of them, and finding family in each other. I'd recommend this one to those readers who enjoy heartfelt romance. I'm looking forward to getting to know another member of this K-9 department in When Love Matters Most, to be released in January of 2016.

Content: Some innuendo and a few mild swear words, but would consider this clean.
