An enemies-to-lovers trope with notes of You’ve Got Mail, what’s not to like? Well, the hero (and a bit of the heroine) in the beginning, but he’s got an arc so stick with him and you’ll be rooting for him in the end. I’ve had 2 children so all the birth terminology and scenarios were familiar and a bit nostalgic. The differences in viewpoint surrounding birth made for a great butting of heads for the two main characters. I liked it!

THE DOCTOR AND THE MIDWIFE by SARAH ALVA is a most enjoyable romance which brings to mind the movie You've Got Mail. I also enjoy the childbirth theme, a subject that is close to my heart. Mountain climbing is also part of the story.
Audrey Novak is a very highly qualified midwife who is annoyed by the rather pompous Dr Ammon Parker, who is doing his residency in Gynaecology. We see that their abrasive behaviour towards each other stems largely from them each having a rather poor self image.
I am not going to tell you any more so as not to spoil your read, but I recommend The Doctor And The Midwife to anyone who enjoys a good romance novel.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Covenant Communications. The opinions in this review are completely my own.

This book reads very dry. Audrey is kind of annoying and Ammom is as well. They get into arguments about the gynecology profession he’s an OB she’s a midwife. I felt as though I was reading part of medical textbook with definitions.

****I received an ARC for my honest opinion from Netgalley. ******

A cute, clean romance with some stolen drama from You’ve Got Mail or the classic In The Good Old Summertime. I was hoping for more religious faith/interaction but this seemed to be geared more to the appearance of it rather than actual trust or faith in the Lord.

I was provided with an ARC of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you net galley for the advance reader copy of this novel. This was a clean contemporary romance between a doctor and midwife who get off on the wrong foot. It has a "You've got mail" vibe to it and was wonderfully written. I enjoyed the characters, the snarky dialogue, and the dates attraction. Both characters, Aubrey and Ammon, learn to trust each other and help each other with heavy burdens. This book is very clean but you will definitely be cheering on our couple!!! I even learned a lot about pregnancy birth options. Great read and highly recommend this author!!!!
