Will love be the winner? Josie Campbell grew up surrounded by doctors possessing a fierce dedication to the practice of medicine. That’s why fun-loving Josie has never even been tempted to date anyone in the profession. Then again, she’s never met anyone as intriguing as neurosurgeon, Noah Anson.

Noah has never met a situation he can’t control or a woman he can’t charm. When Noah asserts that he can win her heart in five dates, Josie can’t resist the tempting challenge. By Valentine’s Day, it’s Noah who has lost his heart to Josie. The end is in sight and Noah pulls out all the stops. Failure isn’t an option. Not with true love on the line.

What a great book! I was ready to fall in love when he "shot her a charming smile showing a mouthful of straight white teeth. With jet-black hair, a just-short-of olive skin tone and bright blue eyes, the effect was mesmerizing. Toss in the cashmere topcoat, dark hand-tailored suit and red Hermes tie, and, well, it was quite a tempting package." Right on the first page! My dream man.
Josie knew she would never marry a doctor, since she comes from a family full of them and they just never understood that she didn't want that job for herself. She felt that they were demeaning and didn't listen to her, so she had quit college and left town. Now she is back to mend fences. Noah had a similar problem. He tried to stop his sister from getting married, she did anyway, and it turned out he was right. His sister wouldn't forgive him. They decided to get together and fake date so they could see the other's problem through neutral eyes, and try to help bring the families together.
This one had more sex than any of her other books, I think. However, it was well done and helped to grow the love that was blossoming. I can't wait until the next one!

A plan for forgiveness!
A plan for forgiveness! This is about Dr. Noah and Josie. She recently returned home to face the music from her early departure from school and her family’s lives. He is working with both her father and brother in their practice, but he too is there in hopes to make a mend with Daffodil (Daffy), his only sister. I love that they make a pact to help each other but there is still so much that doesn’t transpire. Can they truly help each other when their feelings are in the mix? I love to see what is going to happen with Daffy and does Liam get his forever after?
Love how Cindy completes the story at hand but leaves you wanting the next story right away.

Typical Cindy Kirk
Cindy Kirk’s books are always heartwarming. I have enjoyed the Jackson Hole series and all the characters and how they intertwine.
It’s nice to have happy endings as a break from the typical detective / police procedural and murder mysteries that I normally read.

Another fabulous written book by Cindy Kirk, the 10th instalment from the Jackson Hole series. Josie has returned home to build bridges with her family. Noah is in a similar situation, he has returned home to mend his relationship with his sister. Am I likely pairing, Josie & Noah make a pact to help each other build their bridges.
This a lovely heartwarming story, ups & downs, laughter & tears. Delving into the lives of the characters in Jackson Hole, becoming completely immersed in this lives. I couldn’t put this book down, spending any free time tone devouring it. Thank you Cindy for being so talented, I’m obsessed with your books.

Lovely
Loved this book. I understand how Josie felt about her over hearing family and how Drs caused her dread. But Noah sneaks behind the lines she has built and brings love to them both.
