I really, really liked this romance. Magdalena Cruz is a gutsy heroine returned from war in Afghanistan with an amputated leg and an attitude. Jake Dalton is a small town country doctor who grew up in the town and is now looking after the townspeople. He had a thing for Magdalena Cruz growing up but she wouldn't give him the time of day. Not only that but she blamed his family for her father's death.

The characters are believable and three dimensional. Magadalena or Maggie is trying to get over her past and move on with her life. She doesn't believe anyone could love her with a stump for a leg while Jake sees beyond that and loves her for everything she is. She'd have nothing to do with him but she ends up being forced to work with him in his clinic as a translater for the Mexican patients.

As the story develops she's forced to realize mistakes were made on both sides and it was her father's stubborness which caused him to push himself to exhaustion causing him to be killed in a car accident. She's also forced to realize Jake is an amazing man and to admit both to him and to herself that she loves him.

This is a contemporary romance with wonderful characters. I'll be looking for more books by RaeAnne Thayne.
