A friend sent me this in a box of books. I'm not sure if she read it or not before passing it on.

I was a little confused as to the timing of Dillon's medical contracts. He mentioned something about a contract being up in June (but I couldn't tell if it was the June before or the June after this is set). Yet somehow, he can take a whole month (September?) to be the resort's fill-in doctor while trying to decide if he wants to A) return to his practice in Texas, B) take the concierge doctor position he's been offered or C) see what opportunities are available to him in Montana.

The romance is a bit fast--yes, Dillon met Erika when he interviewed for the fill-in position but it seems they really didn't start getting to know each other until he arrived to start his resort position. That gives them at most a month to have gotten to know each other and fall so deeply in love that he's proposing to her and they're planning to get married. I'm not sure that works for real life. Would Erika's reservations/trust issues be resolved so quickly in real life? I'm more able to believe Dillon's ready to move on/heal in that time period.

I agree with another reviewer that the plot is pretty predictable. I liked Zane's appearance in the book and do wonder if he'll be the male lead for a different book in the series--though he lives in Utah if I remember correctly, not Montana as the subseries name implies.

I was a bit disappointed that Erika and Dillon make love prior to marriage--one would think Erika learned her lesson about that with Scott--and even prior to them having any kind of agreement on what type of relationship they have. And this is probably the biggest reason this earned a less than average rating from me. ( )
