BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Scott Grant has a bustling family practice in the small Oregon community of Thunder Point. The town and its people have embraced the widowed doctor and father of two, his children are thriving, and Scott knows it’s time to move on from his loss. But as the town’s only doctor, the dating scene is awkward. That is, until a stunning physician’s assistant applies for a job at his clinic.

Peyton Lacoumette considers herself entirely out of the dating scene. She’s already been burned by a man with kids, and she’s come to Thunder Point determined not to repeat past mistakes. When Scott offers her a job, at a much lower salary than she’s used to, Peyton is surprisingly eager to accept…at least for now. She’s willing to stay for a three-month trial period while she explores other options.

Scott and Peyton know the arrangement is temporary—it isn’t enough time to build a real relationship, never mind anything with lasting commitment. But love can blossom faster than you think when the timing is right, and this short visit just might hold the promise of forever.

REVIEW:

Another lovely visit to Thunder Point and this time we get to spend time with Dr Scott. Scott is a great guy who is just too sweet for words and has adorable children and any woman would want to fall in love with him and I am thrilled that he got his happily ever after. Peyton is an interesting choice for Scott. They mesh so well but seem to be in such different worlds. And Peyton’s family is a hoot. I also enjoyed catching up with past couples from the series.

There was a little too much talk of Peyton’s ex and rehashing of the circumstances but the story is great. I would have liked a little less of the rehash and a bit more at the end. I would love to have known what the kids thought of Scott and Peyton together. But I am sure we will get more of their story as we visit Thunder Point with the next couple. I wonder who that will be? I can’t wait to read it and find out!
