Very good book. I really liked both Michelle and Gabe. There was an immediate attraction between the two but both had been hurt in the past and were intent on protecting their hearts. Michelle had been married to a man with two teenaged daughters. She really liked the girls and wanted to be a mother to them, but they were very resistant and had been unbelievably rude and hostile to her. Her ex-husband hadn't been any help. So she was determined that she would never get involved with a man who had kids again. But when she met Gabe it was hard to remember that vow. She fought the attraction, but living next door to him and his daughter and having many of the same friends put them in frequent contact with each other. She also found herself growing closer to Finley and liking her a lot. She and Gabe found their attraction too hard to resist, but agreed that neither wanted a relationship so they would indulge themselves without expectations. Of course their feelings didn't pay attention to that decision. Michelle was still very wary of involvement but frequently found herself dreaming of what might be. I really loved seeing Michelle begin to get over her fear of falling for a man with a child. She had so much love to give and she was really good with Finley. I really liked the way that she stepped in at the end.
Gabe had become a single father at the age of eighteen. Finley's mother hadn't wanted to be a mother at all and deserted them both when Finley was two months old. Gabe gave up everything to be her father for real and made sure that he never got involved with someone who didn't fully accept that he and Finley were a package deal. I really loved the relationship that the two of them had. He was a firm but loving dad and it was easy to see the love they shared. When Gabe met Michelle he was interested in her but not ready for a relationship yet. He wanted to get settled into his job and new life before taking that step. They quickly became friends but the attraction grew quickly too. I liked the way he said he would be fine with the arrangement that they had but that he soon realized it wasn't enough for him.
Finley was a typical teenager in some ways. She had a fantastic relationship with her dad, but she also had some self worth issues because of her mother's actions. She too had a need to protect herself and her father which is why she did some of the things she did. It was heartbreaking at times to see the way she felt.

Good Continuation of the Series
At first, I thought this had two new characters to Jackson Hole, then I realized Michelle was Mary Karen's OB to deliver her twins. This story does a good job of developing the characters of Michelle, Gabe, and his daughter Finley, while interweaving previous characters as well as giving some clues about a future couple. A good book, a bit short, I would recommend reading all her Good Hope series first as they are available on Kindle Unlimited and these shorter books must be purchased.

The Doctor and Mr. Right
This was interesting and kept my interest the way thorough to the end. There was a lot of interesting plots in the story to keep you turning the pages. Thank you, Gailene Shearer

Cute, quick read. You can see exactly where this story is headed, but you fall in love with all three main characters quickly.

I really enjoyed this book. Michelle and Gabe are likeable characters who have an instant attraction to each other, but, having both been hurt in the past, try to stay friends. Between her friends constantly trying to set her and Gabe up and their feelings for each other, they are doomed for failure from the beginning.
The characters are easy to relate to and I know all about the "tests", having been through them myself with my own step-son.

This was one of those books that I thought was just okay until I couldn't put it down. I think it's my favorite of the series. I hope Gabe, Michelle and Finley (plus Sasha!) continue to show up in the series.
