Really really enjoyed this one. Medical romance - check. Characters with depth and realistic flaws/imperfections - check. Fuel for angst - check. Slow burn build up - check. Character arcs involving redemption, forgiveness, acceptance. - check. Adorable dog - check. Set in the LA Metro world, we get a glimpse of characters from Nolan's previous books, but this one belongs completely to Ashlee and Dale. Nolan has a remarkable talent for weaving engaging characters and story lines. Strongly recommend this one for anyone who appreciates a slow burn romance that allows the characters to develop and grow - along with some really strong chemistry. This is a read, re-read, read again kind of book.
