When Addie moves to a rural hospital, she never expected to run into Noah, her ex-fiance's friend...and she certainly didn't expect to be living with him. As Addie takes steps toward a new life, she has to decide how Noah will fit in the picture. An interesting look at a small hospital where the doctors live together in a boarding house. A cute story set by the water in Australia. Well-written, but the story was a little sappy for my taste.

This was an interesting story of surrendering to love. Of these two well-educated doctors who had been burnt by love or the idea of it. Get thrown together.
You see Addie Blair is a doctor, Specialist Obstetrician and Gavin her childhood sweetheart are due to marry. Gav asks Noah McPherson to be his best man. Now mind you he had been asking Addie to marry him since he could talk almost.
But here she is arriving at the church on the day of the wedding and Noah is sent to speak with her. To give her a message. Gav decided he can’t marry her she is too needed like all the women in his life. Now for years, she had been caring for her cancer-ridden mom and his widowed mom.
But the more Noah spoke the madder she got. To the point where he puts his hand on her shoulder and she slaps him. So, hard she believes they heard it two towns over. That’s when she takes her shoes off, the veil, and yells to Gav’s mom to take care of his mom.
When her mom pass, she moves. She doesn’t want Noah as her supervisor any longer. Most of all she need to prove to herself she wasn’t needy. Now three years in and she loved it.
When she finds herself doubled over in pain. She comes out of her room of doctor’s quarter’s that she would now be sharing with a new surgeon. When she looks up. There stands Noah their new surgeon.
By the way her belly, she’s having a tubal pregnancy. And needs him now. Once he gets more info, he walks her over. Then everyone is going into hyper speed know they are and will be caring for Addie. As he’s finding a beloved a cherished Doc.

See how these two go from a slap to the sack. And what comes of that one night of passion. I give this: 4 stars. Provided by netgalley.com. Follow us at www.1rad-readerreviews.com.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. While I wish I could say that I enjoyed it, it would not be the truth because it contained triggers that I loath (aka, infertility, miscarriage, ex drama, child by OW, etc.

I read romances to escape real life and be entertained. This did not do it for me unfortunately.

Noah McPherson had the unfortunate job of telling Addie Blair on her wedding day they her fiancé had decided not to marry her. Flash forward five years and they end up working in the same hospital again. Both have issues that they must work through, Addie miscarrying and Noah trying to gain custody of his step daughter. Both learn to work through there issues to find each other.
I liked this story. Both characters are likable though a little stubborn when it comes to their feelings for each other. Slowly they realize that they have feelings for each other and work on their issues to find their happily ever after. This was a quick read and a pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

Noah seems to pop up every time Addie is having a tough moment which makes their relationship strained. It started back when Noah had to break the news to Addie that her fiance ran on out on her right before the wedding. Now they both see eachother year later and finds her again in a tough spot but now that they work together they want to make sure things stay professional. That is until one heated night that ended up with her pregnant with a baby that she wants to keep.

This was a pretty good contemporary romance. It was interesting getting to know these characters and the challenges they were facing as the book when on. Then there was the whole strain thing that was coming off of Addies side with her condition that makes it hard to keep a child shes pregnant with to full term it was interesting seeing how everything went with that Addie wanted so much to have a baby of her own. One thing I did like was that this book was short so if your the type of person who is pressed for time but would loved to read a short contemporary romance then you might want to pick this book up I thought it was pretty good, I enjoyed it.

3.5 Stars
This brought out all the emotions. Heartbreak for Addie, time after time. Then Noah and his story, whew. There were times that I wanted to smack Addie, she was very melodramatic towards the end. The ending was perfect though!
