This is a traditional contemporary romance. =) Christine Vance's wedding day is a complete disaster. When her stepfather strikes a dog with his car trying to get her to the church on time, the veterinarian suddenly finds herself facing a serious decision: does she proceed with the wedding as her frustrated fiance Brian wishes? Or does she put off the ceremony to treat the critically injured dog?

The dog belongs to Paul Toulon, her fiance's cousin. The last thing he wants is to get involved in the disaster that occurs when Christine decides she must tend to the dog first causing her groom, who she's taken for granted too many times for the sake of her career, to leave her at the altar.

Despite his efforts to merely be a bystander in the situation, Paul gets swept up in Christine's quest to win back his cousin. But the more he learns about the beauty he accompanies to Maine as a reluctant travel companion, the more he decides that she is not a good match for his c cousin.

But she is perfect for him...

Reviews:

"The One You Love by Tina Van Zandt will leave you with a feeling that all is right in the world of Christine and Paul. This is one book that grabs you from the beginning and keeps you scrolling to find out what happens next. Yes, Christine goes through the grieving process of having someone walk out on her but she also has Paul to talk too on the way to Maine about what is happening with her and what she wants. It almost takes Christine being hit with a brick to realize what she has right before her. I will be on the lookout for more stories by Ms. Van Zandt." - Pam Clifton, A Romance Review
