Here comes another standalone heartwarming and humorous romance in the Doctors of Oak Bluff series by Amazon Top-5 author Miranda Liasson, who “deals with so much of what makes life hard . . . without ever losing the warmth and heart that characterize her writing.” ~ Entertainment Weekly.
Available in e-book and print. For fans of Kristan Higgins, Susan Mallery, and Lori Wilde.
A grumpy ER boss and a sunshine doctor think they’ve sworn off romance—until one tiny baby decides to play matchmaker.
When Dr. Ani Green drags herself onto the plane after her wedding-that-never-was, she’s a self-described mess who has sworn off all relationships for good. But her "honeymoon for one" has a silver lining: Adam. He’s the kind, charming stranger who takes her trip from unbearable to almost fun.
What happens in Turks and Caicos stays there.
She left the island thinking she’d never see him again—only to walk into her new ER shift and realize that her vacation fling is her new boss. And he’s not the man she remembers.
Dr. Adam Lowenstein doesn’t do "fun." He does rules, schedules, and whatever it takes to shield his heart from any more grief. His time in Turks and Caicos was a temporary lapse in judgment. Now that he’s the Head of Emergency Medicine, he needs to be the stoic leader—not the man who fell for a whirlwind of a woman under a tropical sun. If that means denying his connection with Ani, so be it.
Until a patient surrenders a baby with a desperate plea for help.
As their professional boundaries crumble, Adam and Ani are forced to bridge the gap between who they were on the island and who they are now. Now, they must work together to protect a tiny life—and find out if the family they never thought they’d have is the one they can’t live without.

What a sweet story. This has been one of my favorite books by this author. I truly enjoyed every page.Didn't want this book to actually end It was so sweet . Absolutely perfect ending.
When 2 people who are suffering meet on a plane to Turks and Caicos, who would think that they could be the missing piece for one another? Dr. Ani Green is a pediatrician and left her fiance' at the altar. She feels awful about the way it went down and knows she should've ended it much sooner. Dr. Adam Lowenstein works as an ER doctor and he is grieving the loss of his wife. She's been gone for close to 2 years, but Adam is still suffering and has not let anyone get close to him since. Ani is going because it was her honeymoon trip and Adam is going because his wife loved it so much and she wanted him to see it. As the week goes by and Adam and Ani get closer to one another, will they be able to help one another heal?
When Ani gets back and starts her own practice, she also takes shifts at the hospital ER. Ani is shocked when the new head of the ER is Adam, but he's much different than the fun loving guy she vacationed with for a week. He's grumpy, very regimented, and has no sense of humor with the staff. Which Adam is the real Adam? Ani isn't a fan of the guy who's now her boss. Will Ani and Adam find a way to make things work between them? When a baby enters Ani's life will she be ready to help her? Will Adam step up and help Ani when she really needs it? This book is absolutely fantastic and I didn't want it to end. I loved the characters, the story, and the town. I rate Take Me Home to You 5 stars with my highest recommendation. I'd like to thank NetGalley and Hawthorne House Press for an advanced copy of Take Me Home to You in exchange for a fair review. #TakeMeHomeToYou
Miranda Liasson, the Author of "Take Me Home to You" has written a delightful,caprivating, heartfelt and pleasurable novel. This is just what the Doctor ordered to get me out of my funky mood. This is the third book of "The Amazing Doctors of Oak Bluff), and can be read alone, although I want to read the other two books for fun. In the enjoyable, well written book, the author vividly describes the scenery and feeling in a small town, and the colorful and dramatic characters. The characters are complex, complicated, flawed, likeable, quirky and witty, including the loveable dog!
Two hurt people meet on the airplane headed to Turks and Caicos. One is Ani, a tipsy run-away bride, and the other is Adam, a depressed widower. Both manage to have a wonderful time, and regret when it is time to go home. Months later both, who are doctors meet in the ER in a small town. Adam is the chief of the ER, and is very serious and strict, and Ani is a Pediatrician , and has to work several hours at this hospital. One of the emergency patients is a teenage girl who gives birth, and Ana delivers the baby. The young girl surrenders the baby and asks Ana to take care of the baby, and Ana really is starting to like this idea.
I love the adventure that Miranda Liasson has in store for us. I highly recommend this memorable and thought-provoking story!
Take Me Home to You is a warm and wholesome romance novel that I HIGHLY recommend! Miranda does an excellent job writing about the complexity of grief and being vulnerable to start new relationships. I am obsessed with the protagonist Ani, her strength and ability to make hard decisions inspires me to be more like her.
This heartwarming book weaves multiple elements in the plot, making it a great story. I loved the characters, both doctors, and how they deal with a baby that is left at their hospital, will bring tears to your eyes. The protagonist, although flawed, is one of the strongest females I've seen, especially when it comes to dealing with the important things in life. I love this writer's books and this one does not disappoint. Highly recommend it.
Dr. Ani Green, a pediatrician, boards a plane to Turks and Caicos alone after calling off her wedding at the last minute. She knew she shouldn’t go through with it, but feels terrible for waiting until the actual wedding to call it off. At her mother’s urging, she escapes before facing the fallout at home by taking their planned honeymoon trip. Sitting next to her on the same flight is Dr. Adam Lowenstein, an ER physician and young widower, honoring a promise to take the anniversary trip he and his late wife never got to share. Nearly two years after her death, he’s still deep in grief.
Their meet-cute is anything but polished—Ani is teary, overwhelmed, and determined to survive her honeymoon, while Adam just wants to get through the week. Instead, they find comfort in each other. What begins as shared dinners and sightseeing turns into a meaningful connection—and one unforgettable night. They part knowing the timing is wrong, each assuming they’ll never meet again.
Months later, Ani is stunned to discover that Adam is the new head of the ER at her hometown hospital in Oak Bluff, where she covers shifts alongside running her practice. The warm, attentive man she met on the island has been replaced by a guarded, regimented boss who keeps everyone at arm’s length. Adam insists their past won’t interfere with work—but unresolved feelings simmer beneath the surface.
When Ani helps deliver a baby girl whose teenage mother surrenders her, she makes a life-changing decision: she’ll foster the child, with hopes of adopting her. Naming the baby Rosalie after her grandmother, Ani opens her heart in ways she never expected. With support from her own mother and Adam’s mother—a retiring social worker who specializes in foster care—Ani begins to build a new kind of family.
Adam finds himself drawn not only to Ani but to baby Rosalie. Yet he’s terrified that loving again means betraying the memory of his wife and opening himself up to hurt again. Ani, burned by past mistakes, questions her judgment and her heart. As misunderstandings, grief, and outside complications test them, they must decide whether to cling to the past or risk a future together.
Emotional, tender, and ultimately hopeful, this story is filled with heartbreak, healing, forgiveness, and second chances. I was completely invested in Ani, Adam, and Rosalie—their journey was impossible to put down. I loved it.
Dr. Ani Greenis on a plane headed to Turks and Caicos after stopping her wedding at the last minute. She knew she couldn’t go through with it. Her mother thought it would be best to get away, so she didn’t have to handle the aftermath. Dr. Adam Lowenstein is headed there too because he promised his dead wife that he would go on their 5th anniversary. His friends and family knows he needs a break. Ani and Adam meet on the plane and decided that they would enjoy being there one day at a time. After the week they both went in different directions. She’s back in her hometown. Adam shows up as head of the ER. He asks like he doesn’t remember their last night together on the island. He realizes he made a mistake but doesn’t want what they had to be interfering with their jobs, he’s her boss. When Ani delivers a beautiful baby girl, the young mother makes Ani promise she will make sure the baby has a wonderful future. It bro Ani’s heart. She decides she wants the baby. She’ll foster first then adopt. She names the little girl, Rosalie, after ani’s grandmother. As she takes care of the baby, her mom and Adam’s mother help her out. Adam’s mother is retiring from her job as a social worker for foster children. She can really help Ani and give her good advice. Her mother is thrilled too. They have her back. Adam can’t seem to stay away. He also helps with the baby. Will they let their chemistry get in the way? Can they fight it? Will he let the mourning of his wife get in the way of his future? Will they finally get to foster the baby? Will they get to adopt her? Lots of things happen. Things get in the way. People get in the way. Will they let all that go? Will Adam finally see a sign that was meant for him to move forward? I was so rooting for Ani, Adam and the baby. It was emotional, sad, lots misunderstandings, forgiveness and happiness all wrapped up in this story I didn’t want to put the book down. Worth the read. I received this book for my honest review. I give it voluntarily. Reasons I enjoyed this book:
To say I was excited to read Take Me Home to You is putting it mildly. Anytime I can pick up Miranda Liasson’s new story, I know I am in for a very special story. This one was definitely that. Ani and Adam are on a trip which both are apprehensive about. Ani just walked away from her wedding and Adam is grieving the loss of his wife. They meet in a very strange way on a plane. Ani is distraught and has had one too many and Adam being the kind person he is realized she is definitely struggling with some traumatic. When it looks like she is going to be ill, he offers his bag just in time for her to lose it all. I mean what a way to meet. So spills her situation to him and he makes it his mission to put some fun in her trip and in turn she just might help him also. They both have no intention of getting involved with anyone. The question is can they resist their immediate attraction to one another that they are doing their best to ignore. I guess what happens in Turks and Caicos will stay there?? Only time will tell. So they have a great trip and return home to their jobs as doctors figuring they will never see each other again. They both have no idea what is in store for them until they are forced to work together in the ER where Adam is now in charge of. Their meeting didn’t go well to say the least until Ani delivers a young woman’s baby. This young woman gives her baby to Ani and pleads with her to make sure her baby girl has a good life. Then the journey begins as Ani pleads her case to become this precious baby has that life with her. Adam has wanted no part of this type of life due to the loss of his wife. But Ani has gotten in his soul and he can’t resist her or Rosebud. The journey that Ani and Adam are on is very emotional and sad but heartwarming. I’m so thankful that I was chosen to read this wonderful ARC for my honest review. I LOVED it!! And you will too.
We return to town of Oak Bluff in the 3rd book in this series. Dr. Ani Green has fled her wedding and on a plane to her honeymoon without the groom, where her seat mate is Dr. Adam Lowenstein and he helps her "drunk on a plane" where she litterly barks in a bag of food he has brought on the plane, compliments of his aunties. Adam is going to the same destination. He is going reluctantly forced by his friends and family to come back to life, as he has not been living, just existing for a few years after his wife's death. And it was the one place she always wanted him to go. Little did he see this trip turning out to be a rescue mission for this as Ani puts it she is a self described mess. But what happens in Turks and Caicos has to stay in Turks and Caicos or so they thought...
This is a lovely story of two people who have wounded hearts and how a baby brings them together in ways they both had not imaged. It will touch your heart and you will fall in love with this sweet little baby who has been given up by the birth mother and Ani is determined to become her foster mother, and Adam even though he is not really on the same page emotionally with her, helps her achieve for the child she has fallen in love with. All Ani and Adam friends and family come together to make the dream come true, Adam needs to open up his closed heart and sees that Ani and baby Rosie are the two people can open his heart to love again. A book of love, family, community and lots of heart for three people destined together. Have a few tissues handy, although there a lots of funny and cute moments to make you smile and chuckle. I received an ARC of this book through NetGalley and the author for my honest review.
Ani Green, a pediatrician, takes her honeymoon alone after calling off her wedding at the last minute. On the plane she meets Adam Lowenstein, an ER doctor. They spend a week on Turks and Caicos keeping each company sightseeing and dining together. And it includes a passion filled night. Flash forward ten months and Adam is now the head of hospitals’ ER. He moved to be closer to his mother who lives in the town of Oak Bluff. He isn’t really her boss as the blurb says, but she does have to cover four shifts a month in the ER as part of her practice. It turns out both of them have spent time thinking about the other not thinking they would meet again. He doesn’t want to fall in love again after losing his wife before she turned 30. Ani doesn’t trust her judgement in men after being divorced once and almost making a mistake the second time.
This is a sweet book and part of a cute series called The Amazing Doctors of Oak Bluff. I read the first one, “Take Me Home for Christmas” (Sept 2024, 5 Stars) and somehow missed the second. The stories stand on their own but the other two couples have brief appearances or get mentioned. This is a very likable story with good side characters. I didn’t love it as much as the first one because of storyline preference. I’m not fond of babies in romances and was glad this was not an accidental pregnancy book. Liasson keeps the door closed on private times but she writes the building up emotions and connection well. And I absolutely fell in love with all the covers in the series. Put a cute dog on the front and my hand is already reaching for the book. Thank you to the author Miranda Liasson, Hawthorne House and NetGalley for the eARC and I am leaving an honest review.
This was such a sweet story! This is the third in a series, but it can easily be read as a standalone book. At the start of the book we meet Adam, a doctor and young widow headed to Turks and Caicos to take the trip he promised his wife he’d take in her honor. As the plane is about to takeoff, to a trip he could not be less excited for, he quickly realizes he has the worst seat mate ever. His seat mate is pounding Bloody Marys, and sobbing, and looking quite disastrous. And Adam quickly learns it is because Ani is also headed off on a vacation she couldn’t want to do less, as it is her not honeymoon she is going on after calling off her wedding. When they get there, Adam feels sorry for Ani, and a bit responsible for her well being. So despite his gut telling him to leave her alone, Adam keeps trying to get Ani to stay and use the time away to heal. After an unforgettable few days, they part ways realizing neither of them are in a place for their brief time together to be anything more. Cut to several months later and Ani is floored to realize that her new boss is her hero from her not honeymoon Adam. Except this version of him is awful. As Adam and Ani deal with the reality they will be forced to live in the same town together and work together, a crisis pops up at the ER complicating things between them even more. I loved watching Ani and Adam grow and move on from their difficult pasts. The side characters, and animals, were great, and the story was sweet with a lot of depth. Another wonderful book by Miranda Liasson. I received an ARC, and this is my honest review.
Witty, romantic story with lots of wonderful characters If you like your romance more on the sweet side than steamy, this author is for. There is passion but not on the page; there is love and lust, but this author does not beat the reader over the head with it. There is humor of the kind that sneaks up on you; I found myself literally laughing out loud which is not me at all. And, this one will have angst from several characters. Very entertaining! Dr. Adam Lowenstein is sharing a row seat in first class on a jet to Turks and Caicos Islands with a mysterious woman who is having her third Bloody Mary before they even leave the tarmac; wearing sunglasses that cover half her face; and a hair do that looks like birds recently took flight from it. What is with that?! Adam was hoping for a quiet flight as this would have been his fifth anniversary if his wife had not died three years ago. Adam has lived under a cloud for the past two years. As circumstances are wont to occur, Adam and Ani Green of the bird’s nest hair make conversation; she is going on her honeymoon alone. Adam is a problem-solver so he cannot help himself; if Ani needs a distraction, he can be that. It will help him too. What happens before they leave TCI will not surprise the reader. But what happens later will. A host of great characters make this book delightful; their banter is humorous, poignant and genuine. I hope this is not the end of this series. What’s the story with Dylan and Pen or Tyler? Will they get their HEA? Hope so. I volunteered to review an ARC of this book through NetGalley.
Take Me Home To You is the third book in Miranda Liasson’s the Amazing Doctors of Oak Bluff Series. This story centers around Dr. Ani Green, pediatrician, and Dr. Adam Lowenstein, emergency medicine. The story begins as Ani, distraught, flies to Turks and Caicos to spend a week on a honeymoon for one having called off her wedding at the 11th hour. Her seat mate in first class is Adam whose best friends are sending him on a trip to the place his late wife had wanted him to go when she knew they would never make that trip together. This is the last place he wants to be and the tearful, imbibing woman next to him isn’t making things better. But maybe she actually is as she gives him something else to focus on.
When Ani and Adam show up at the same resort, they join forces to see the sights and by the end of the week they join even more as they are parting ways and likely won’t see each other again so the night they shared will only be a pleasant memory. That is until Adam takes the position of head of emergency services at the Oak Bluff hospital. With both manpower and monetary shortages, physicians in the community spend time in the emergency room so it’s only a matter of time until Ani takes her turn and they come face to face. When that happens, Adam acts as though they’re strangers, seems cold, and critical but when Ani delivers a baby with a teen mom who then surrenders her baby to Ani he steps up in multiple ways.
This is such a heartwarming story with great characters and a perfectly evolving plot. I very much enjoyed this book and I do recommend it!
Take Me Home to You Miranda Liasson February 27, 2026
Her wedding was bright and beautiful. Many were invited, her parents had gone all out for the celebration. However, when Ani Green realized that she really did not love Tyler - she told him that at the alte. The friends and family and the groom left. Ani’s parents encouraged her to get on the plane and go to their honeymoon location to clear her head. As she sat on the plane before taking off drinking bloody marys she realized the sadness and started to cry. The man sitting next to her in first class didn’t know what to do. He tried to speak with her but she could only say odd phrases and words. After the third drink she became sick and he held out the santa bag he had emptied and held it up to spare her impending mess. Take Me Home to You will be published on February 27, 2026 by Miranda Liasson, LLC. I was able to read and review Liasson’s latest novel via NetGalley and her street review team. The book was a lovely gift as I have spent 2 days absorbed in this wonderfully, delightful story. There are characters from the series The Amazing Doctors of Oak Bluff however the main duo of Ani and Adam gave readers such a fantastic look at falling in love. This is truly a romance not to miss. Liaison’s story gave readers humor as well as sadness as they discovered how difficult it is to leave past loves behind. It is one I shall read again - exceptionally enjoyable!

Ani who can't stop thinking of the baby wants to foster to adopt. Adam wants to help. Will they end up with the baby? Will they get together? This can be a stand alone book, but there are 2 books before this all are wonderful reads. It has humor, real life issues, Love and friendship. Miranda Liasson is an amazing Author and I recommend this book.

He’s embarrassed & acts like he doesn’t know who she is ….he’s all about being a professional & nothing like the vacation Adam she recently met! Trust me you’re going to want to grab a copy of this 5 ⭐️ book & find out how it works out. thank you Miranda Liasson for this entertaining story 💞
The book was sweet, funny, filled with heart. Dr. Ani Green is going to Turks and Caicos after calling off her wedding. It’s a honeymoon for one. The last thing she expects is to find someone that actually shows her some compassion on the plane.. When she learns that Dr. Adam Lowenstein is grieving over his wife’s passing. Yet once they land she’s ready to head back home, and he convinces her to stay. They weren’t ready for anything, and yet feelings took over. When she went back to Oak Bluff to where she works as she’s a pediatrician everyone tells her that there’s a new ER doctor. Well she didn’t expect to see Adam again. She learns he’s her boss now. When they see each after all this time he’s all professional. He acts like he never knew her. It’s all so cold. She will not let this go. A situation happens in the ER where Ani is handling a baby delivery on her own. He praised her afterwards. When he sort of second guessed her on another case she was handling prior.
A situation with the baby she delivered when the teen who had her wants to give her up. Ani isn’t sure what she exactly wants to do, and then the girl disappears. She has a crazy idea, but she’s certain this is meant to be even if Adam is treating her like nothing.
This latest addition to the series belongs to pediatrician Ani Green and ER physician Adam Lowenstein. These two meet by chance on a flight to Turks and Caicos. Ani is on her way to her honeymoon trip alone after leaving the groom and the wedding guests behind before the wedding was performed. Meanwhile, Adam, who still has not recovered from the death of his wife, is taking this trip because he had promised he would visit the place she loved. Their meeting on the airplane was less than stellar. While on the islands they end up helping each other heal some scars, never expecting to meet again. But fate has a sense of humor and ten months later, they meet back in her hometown’s hospital. But Adam is not the man she met. This Adam is a stuck in the mud . What happens when a little baby comes to their lives? Will the baby help heal them or will Adam’s inability to allow love to come a second time be the end of a future for them? This was a touching, at times heartbreaker as well as heartwarming story that will grab your hearts. A wonderful addition to the series. I was entrusted a copy of this book by Netgalley. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
Dr. Ani Green, fresh off canceling her wedding at the last minute, ends up sitting next to Adam Lowenstein when she jets off to Turks and Caicos for her “honeymoon that isn’t a honeymoon”. Her mother and friends force her to go, but she vows to return home in a day or two. Adam is also headed to Turks and Caicos against his will. It was his late wife’s wish that he go on what would have been their 5th anniversary, so…he goes. Ani and Adam hit it off, if only for companionship, or so it seems. They soon go back to their real lives, but they don’t forget about each other.
When Ani delivers a young teenager’s baby, under Adam’s watch as the new head of the ER, the young mother surrenders the baby girl. Ani can’t get the baby out of her mind.
Adam doesn’t admit knowing Ani at first, and things don’t go how either one expects, but maybe this baby will upend their lives.
I absolutely loved this book! Ani and Adam are both dealing with issues, and it’s not an easy battle; but one that was so worth it in the end! Highly recommend!
Thank you to Miranda Liasson, LLC/Hawthorne House for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
This is the third book in The Amazing Doctors of Oak Bluff series and it did not disappoint. All of the books in this series can be read independently, but do yourself a favor and read them all.
Ani dumps her fiancé at the alter and decides to go on her honeymoon alone and meets Adam on the plane. Adam's wife loved Turks and Caicos and made him promise to go there before she passed away from cancer. Ani and Adam have a wonderful time there and then part ways after the vacation. Ten months later, Adam moves to Oak Bluff to be closer to his mother and becomes Ani's boss. However, he's completely different and nicknamed by the staff Dr Grumpenstein.
This book shows Ani and Adam opening up and learning to love again despite a few obstacles in the way. This book will have you feeling emotional while routing for them to be together. It contains a wonderful bunch of secondary characters that add to the feeling of a close knit family.
I binged this book and it was a fast, enjoyable, and feel good kind of book. I highly recommend this series!
Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for an ARC of this book.
Thank you Miranda Liasson LLC / Hawthorne House and NetGalley for this ARC, out February 27th.
This is a sweet, emotional story about second chances, healing, and learning to open your heart again.
Ani and Adam first meet on a flight — Ani running away from her wedding, Adam quietly carrying the heartbreak of losing his wife to cancer. They spend one unexpected week together in Turks and Caicos… only to meet again months later when Adam turns out to be Ani’s new boss at the hospital.
Adam is still deeply grieving, while Ani is trying to build a new life for herself, including her decision to foster-to-adopt a baby. Watching their relationship slowly grow while both characters navigate emotional baggage felt realistic and heartfelt.
The story is definitely slow-paced, but it suits the themes of healing and moving forward. I really found myself rooting for Ani, little Rosy, and for Adam as he learns to let himself love again.
Overall, a sweet and comforting small-town romance with plenty of heart.
She was one of those scary people who saw a need and actually did something to make it better.
I was a little started to see Worrywart Adam, who’d obviously been saving his questions like a squirrel hoards acorns in its cheeks.
You’ve always known what you wanted. Not everyone gets to that point at the same time. Some people take the bus; some take the high-speed train. But people do get there eventually.
My Review:
I always enjoy reading Miranda’s books, and she has penned another engaging, perceptive, agile, easy-to-follow, and satisfying installment of the Oak Bluff doctors. The storylines were entertaining, relevant, amusing, easy to fall into, insightful, and well-paced.
I adored this couple and wanted good things for them. They were both intelligent and caring doctors, yet very accessible and knowable humans with past burdens, pesky personal worries, and itchy family drama beneath their lab coats.
I look forward to more of the same and am eager to see who is featured in the next installment.
What a wonderful sweet read. Ani’s life has exploded and she is trying to figure out how to move forward. Nothing is going as planned. Then, she meets this truly kind lovely man, who is mired in grief after the loss of his wife and has zero desire to love again. They have an incredible few days together and go their separate ways. Well, surprise, surprise months later, he turns up as her new boss in the ER she’s a physician in and he isn’t the wonderful man she met. He’s a clenched, buttoned up, over the top rule enforcing (and some of them are really ridiculous) tyrant. Fun times! When a patient asks something unimaginable of Ani and she agrees, things start to change for the better. I don’t want to give things away, but it was sweet, funny, a little maddening, and a fabulous addition to this series that can be read as a stand alone. I really hope that there is more to come.
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley.com in exchange for a fair and honest review.
TAKE ME HOME TO YOU by Miranda Liasson Release Date February 27,2026
This is book 3 in the series The Amazing Doctors of Oak Bluff. With that being said, though it could be red as a standalone .
If you’re like me and you sometimes need a book that just feels like a hug. Then I highly recommend this one! Miranda always feels like she’s giving me a hug.
This is Ani and Adam’s story. Ani just walked away from her wedding, leaving her groom at the altar. An atom is grieving the loss of his wife. A strange place to meet, but they end up sitting next to each other on the plane. Ani it’s taking her honeymoon alone and she’s had a little too much to drink. Adam’s friends are insisting that he needs to go and at least have a one night stand. They feel that that’s what he needs to get over the loss of his wife and move on with his life. Without too many spoilers, I just wanna kind of leave it there. But I do highly recommend this book. You will not want to put it down. I know I did it.
Take Me Home to You is a wonderful addition to the Drs of Oak Bluff series. Ani and Adam are perfect for each other though it takes them a bit of time to figure it out. What starts as a vacation friendship, where both of them think they will not see each other again after turns into a situation where they run into each other several months later. The people they are in the real world are a little bit different than the people they were on vacation. Though they are obviously still attracted to each other, they have a difficult time figuring out how a relationship may play out in real life. I really fell in love with each of them. How Ani is so committed once she finds something she wants with all of her heart. How Adam is so committed to helping Ani achieve her goal even though he isn't sure how he will end up fitting into her new life. The way they worked through heartbreak, life choices and new responsibilities together was beautiful.
I loved this book. Ani, a small town pediatrician, is on the plane to her honeymoon, but there is no groom. She left before the wedding started. Her seat companion is Adam. He's an ER physician who is on his way to the same island paradise as Ani. His late wife loved the islands and told him to go visit. When Ani gets sick on the plane, Adam takes care of her. They decide to visit the islands together, as friends. But something clicks and then they go on their ways. Until they meet again in the ER where she delivers a baby girl to a 16 year old anonymous girl. The mother doesn't want the baby and asks Ani to make sure she gets a good home.
Ani and Adam are attracted to each other and yet repelled. He's still in mourning, more than 2 years after the death of his wife.
This isn't at all a typical romance. It's so heartfelt and touching. I laughed, I cried, I really wanted them both to be happy.
Thanks to Netgalley for an early copy of the e-book.
Two wounded souls weren't looking for love...but one tiny baby had other plans.
Dr Ani Green goes on her honeymoon alone after a wedding that never happened. On the flight she meets Dr Adam Lowenstein. Adam is a widower, going to Turks and Caicos to fulfill a promise he made his wife. They didn’t think they would meet again but life had other plans and the newly appointed head of ER and her new boss, is none other than Adam. Except he’s not the sweet, kind, charming guy she knew – he’s a rigid, rule-follower who’s no-nonsense and no fun. Ani is not very fond of her new boss but their attraction makes staying away difficult. When a baby enters Ani’s life, Adam has reservations but he not only steps up and helps her, but is also strong support for her. It was an emotional and tender read. Both Ani and Adam are wounded souls, and they had to let go off the past in order to move forward together. This was such a beautiful read that I had a tough time putting it down.
Take Me Home to You is the third book in the small-town Doctor romance by Miranda Liasson. What happens on vacation does not always stay in vacation, just ask Dr. Ani Green. She meets a wonderful kind man on her solo honeymoon trip, then finds him to be so very different when he turns out to be the ER boss months later. There is more than first meets the eye when Dr. Adam Lowenstein is the man on the vacation and the rumpy work only ER doctor Ani finds in the ER months later.
The story delves deep into grief, slow healing and joy to be had each day. Besides these two doctors there is newborn baby that needs fostering, family that gets involved and dreams of becoming more goals leading to reality. Of course there is romance and love too in this learning to love again story. A heart touching story from beginning to end.
Dr.Ani Green is at the altar when she decides that she truly does not want to get married. She tells her future groom the wedding is off. Her parents convinced her that she should still take her honeymoon trip, so she boarded the plane. The Turks and Caicos is the destination, and she did not realize that her destiny would change just by the man who is sitting by her on the plane. Adam is on his way to fulfill the last wishes of his late wife by taking this trip to Turks and Caicos. They spent the time together and had a trip to always remember. The author did a great job of giving her readers a heart filled, emotional second chance at happiness story to enjoy and treasure. Thank you NetGalley, and Miranda Liasson and Hawthorne House for a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
