Story and Writing Style
I really, really liked this story. I’ve read it a few times, and it’s a bit more “fluffy” than other novels I’ve read and enjoyed. It features one of my favorite romance premises: doctor comes to town, but—oh no!—no one expected the doctor to be female! So, now where is the lady doctor supposed to stay? Ah. The sheriff comes to the rescue with his, “I have a spare room adjacent to my house.” Mmm. Mm-hmm. Just a feel-good story with a sexy couple and their attraction for each other.
Characters
The doctor, Rachel Noyes (no, not “Richard Hayes”…) is strong and independent and, of course, young and attractive. It’s like the pilot episode of Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman. Only Sheriff Seth Wellesley is not a buckskin-wearing mountain man. He’s honest and clean-shaven and nice and smart…and he has a young daughter. Rachel and Seth match each other very well.
Sex
Not bad for 1991 initial printing of the book. The swimming lesson scene is very descriptive and fun to read. Their first session of intercourse is kinda vanilla, but the tension between those two is so thick by that point that it comes across as poetic.
