The Doctor's Redemption

I knew this one was going to beautifully emotional. I had the tissues handy especially for the last part of the book. Gwen is ready to live life again for herself and she has her sights on Luke. I love the nickname she gave him, the Muffin Man or TMM. My heart just goes out to Luke. He has so much guilt inside him and keeps pushing Gwen away because knows he can't have her, but that doesn't stop him from yearning for her. As Gwen works her magic on Luke, Luke braces himself for inevitable outcome. That is where those tissues come in handy because it's heartbreaking, but therapeutic as well. I really enjoyed this third book in the series. Gwen and Luke had chemistry and tome they fit well together. It was nice to also see the charters from previous books enjoying their HEAs.

A feel-good story that made me smile! I was pulled in immediately by this one. Luke just happened to find himself attracted to Gwen. Super! But, Gwen also happens to be a member of the family he wants to make amends to. But Luke had zero idea about that until one fine day. Needless to say, this created some tension and I couldn't wait to see what happened at Luke's "big reveal." This book treated me to some laugh-out-loud moments. Gwen is a pistol, and I loved the things she would say! Thanks to Gwen, I was also treated to some inspirational "girl power" moments related to body image pursuing your own happiness. Never hurts to have those topics reinforced! I met the whole cast of characters from the series so far (I think), and I am VERY interested in doubling back and reading their stories too. All in all, in spite of the somber premise, this book was beautifully written and left me with a smile! (I received a copy of this book in consideration of an honest review)

This is a fun romance in the Shadow Creek, Montana, series that I just loved. Five years ago, Luke was driving in an accident that killed five people. He returns to Shadow Creek to try to find a way to apologize and make amends to the people he hurt. Somewhere, along the way he began stopping in Gwen and Lily's chocolate shop after work each morning. He sees Gwen every morning without having any idea who she is. Thus begins a perfect setup for an ill fated romance. The Doctor's Redemption made me smile, even as the characters dealt with difficult things, their inherent goodness came through. I loved how they found a way to overcome their pasts and find a way to their futures. This is a feel good romance. Fans of the genre will love this book. The author is on my must read authors' list.
