Another solid hit from Sarah Mayberry, even though the book was shorter than what I usually prefer.It was a very sweet romance, definitely taking place today and at the same time, almost slightly old-fashioned in the small place taken by sex over the pages. Not that the characters do not desire each other, but circumstances prevent them from indulging and they built a relationship based on much more and deeper feelings.I liked the ease with which what could have been a major conflict and issue between both characters, ie. Will hiding his condition and need for major surgery from Leah, was easily solved. I really enjoyed reading how each of those two characters brought something to the other and helped him/her grow into someone better, more at ease and happy. I also really enjoyed discovering how Leah tried to progressively improve her non-relationship with her sister.Even though Will and Leah met under duress, I had no doubt they would end up happy ever after and would manage to overcome any difficulty coming their way. This is the story of Leah, a doctor who has always been viewed as the favorite daughter, destined to be a surgeon. She finally decides to chose her own path and change her speciality causing friction with her parents. She meets her next door neighbor Will, a musician who is in town temporarily as he deals with health issues.While I enjoyed the relation that Will and Leah formed and their scenes together were charming, funny, and sexy, I felt that there was too much time spent on introspection. Basically the characters trying to talk themselves into things, out of things. That made the book's pace move too slowly for my taste.
Do You like book Her Favorite Temptation (2013)?
Solid romance, but not particularly memorable - I'll get the related book though.
