A Forever Family for the Army Doc by Meredith Weber is a great read. It brings up the life of adoption and adoption families. Not every child goes into a good home. But the main leading female charcater ended up in a home where the people loved her. It was crazy, messy, and good.
Izzy had it bad. Her life has been going okay, until she meets the new stranger in town. Izzy soon learns that it's her new boss. That means off limits for her. Dating a previous doctor she worked with has landed her in the zone of ignoring all men. Especially, with what happened with the last boyfriend.
Mac wasn't expecting to meet a woman like Izzy. The redhead has his attention from the get go. Instant chemistry. But soon he learns who she is...and that means off limits for him. Izzy isn't the woman he can just roll in the hay with...and she deserves better. Plus, she has a daughter and is his coworker. Yet somehow, their time together is pulling at their threads and causing them to break...love is in the air.
A Forever Family for the Army Doc is an entertaining read. I found it realistic. The characters were believable. Their situations kept building into an intense environment leaving me hanging off my seat wondering if it will go anywhere....Meredith Weber's novel was strongly about family life. I liked that. Overall, I recommend this book to readers everywhere.

Playing doctors and nurses under an Australian sun
Nurse and single mother Izzy doesn't have time for romance and so is put out when Nicholas Macpherson joins the hospital as the new director. For some reason, she is immediately attracted to him and most inconveniently her body reacts instinctively whenever he is near. She tells herself and Mac that they are colleagues; could perhaps be friends but could never have 'a relationship'.
Mac is an army doctor with PTSD who has come to the small hospital at Wetherby for a quiet and peaceful life and to get his head in order. He is likewise disturbed by his body's response to Izzy.
I haven't read Mills and Boon for many a long year, my preferred genre being crime/thriller; but this book pleasantly surprised me. That isn't to say that there isn't a certain amount of heaving bosoms, bodice ripping and heartfelt sighs, but these are put within a novel with a much more modern feel.
The author has put together a likeable group of characters and an (almost) convincing storyline. I do find it hard to believe that a small-town hospital with two doctors and only eleven beds could run to their own CT scanner, but perhaps that is my own prejudice.
I did enjoy this book even though there was little suspense; let's face it, a romantic novel always has a happy ending, but there was a well-crafted plot which kept my interest.

things that he witnessed during his time in the Army haunt him and now that he’s back to civilian life, all Nicholas ‘Mac’ MacPherson wants is to concentrate on his job as the new Wetherby hospital director. However, he never expected to meet a woman that could capture his attention as much as Izzy Halliday does. But with his first marriage being a disaster, can he trust that his growing relationship with Izzy will not end up the same? Read More
