Trying to finish up this long series that I started awhile ago. Loved this book. Denise was such a spicy character. Her interactions with Rhett were great.

Sweet Destiny by Rochelle Alers 4 Stars 5-7-14
Another great book in this series. Mia decides to move to West Virginia to finish her residency. She meets hot sheriff Kenyon. Great storyline between them. I think one of my favorite characters is the cranky older doctor. :)
