5 Stars: ‘I found it to be
masterfully crafted, with thought, care, insight, and attention to
detail—poetic prose that touch the heart and echo on the soul, full of deep emotion,
abundant in pain and loss and, best of all, overflowing in joy and love.’
Nate Kincaid, wants to get out of
debt and get his family off his back about his relationship status. The second
means he needs a serious girlfriend, but after the death of his fiancé, he
isn’t ready. No one knows about his nightmares—the ones that chase him into the
dark places of grief. Dealing with debt means his fledgling veterinary practice
must be successful—business before anything else. Always. Maybe a pretend relationship
would solve his second problem so he can concentrate on the first.
Full-time psychologist and part-time
model, Lauren Royall, has the perfect life. As a therapist she helps people. As
a model, her free spirit reigns. When Nate suggests she pose as his girlfriend,
she accepts on a lark. Lauren senses his pain and wants to help. She hadn’t
counted on falling for the guy or the painful memories from her past his
situation evokes.
Today
we’re talking to Nate Kincaid from “My Sexy Veterinarian: The Texas Kincaids
Book 2,” an Contemporary Romance by Bonnie Phelps. Let’s get started. I’m sure
our readers are eager to learn more about you.
How old are you?
I’m
35. Old enough now that I should be established. Instead I’m still building my
business and don’t have a wife and children. Feels more like I’m fresh out of
college.
What impression do you make on
people when they first meet you?
I’m
a stand-up guy, a regular ‘Mr. Do The Right Thing.’ Traditional, I suppose. In
Texas you’re taught to tip your hat and hold a door open for a lady, help
elderly people cross the street, and look out for your neighbors.
How about after they've known you
for a while?
Because
I look like a night club bouncer, people are surprised I’m a sensitive guy.
Don’t tell anyone, but I write poetry.
What is your profession?
I’m
a large animal veterinarian which means a lot of time outdoors.
Tell me about your
best friend.
That’d be my brothers, Zach and Josh. The two are different
as night and day. Zach’s a National Rodeo Champion in Team Roping—the life of
the party—and Josh is a computer engineer—so quiet he gets lost in a crowd.
They’ve got a lot in common though—loyal, tough, and not afraid to call me out
if I do something stupid.
Describe your ideal mate.
Kind, compassionate, loves kids, not afraid to get her hands
dirty. Someone who wants to build a home. A woman who wants to make a
difference in this world.
What's the most
important thing in your life?
Family.
Your
thoughts on love?
So
far I haven’t had much luck in that department. My fiancé died about 6 months
before we planned to be married. Not sure my heart can take anymore hurt.
Your greatest extravagance?
Starting
my own veterinary practice. Everyone said I should have joined an existing
outfit, but I wanted to be my own boss. It was a risk and makes life
challenging, but I’m glad I did.
Is there anything you haven’t done that you want to do?
Find
the right woman and settle down.
Your quirky habits?
You
could say I’m a neatnik. I like order in my life.
What quality do you like most in a woman?
Someone
who’s grounded.
What trait do you most despise?
That
would be high-maintenance women, followed by no sense of roots.
What are you most afraid of?
Losing
the one I love. Been there, done that. Can’t do it again.
Favorite food
I’m
a meat and potatoes guy, though Lauren is teaching me to expand my horizons.
What would you consider your perfect
night out?
Sitting
on my back patio gazing up at the stars. The kind of evening where the serenity
pours in to a man’s soul. Close second, taking my favorite girl out dancing.
Holding her in my arms. Moving together to the music.
What was your first thought or
impression when you met the person you fell in love with?
Lauren?
Gorgeous. Independent. Kind of new-agey. Adventurous. Not my usual type, but
there was something about her that pulled me in.
What would you change about the
person you fell in love with?
At
first I thought I’d want more of a homebody, someone I could count on to stay
put. Once I got to know her though, I wouldn’t change a thing because if I did,
she wouldn’t be the woman I fell in love with. She’s the things I was looking
for—compassionate, loves kids, wants to make a difference—but the things I
thought I didn’t want—adventurous, loves to see the world—have opened me up to
new experiences. She makes me a more complete person.
What would you change about
yourself?
We
both had some demons to slay. Mine is learning to embrace love again. With
Lauren’s help, I’ve gotten there.
