The Doctor's Homecoming
COMING HOME WAS HARD
But Emma Sinclair feared leaving again would be even harder. Returning had resurrected all the joy and pain of her girlhood when she'd loved --- and lost --- rancher Wyatt Barlow. Was their renewed acquaintance a second chance at happiness --- or just a heartbreaking game of capricious fate?
SIXTEEN YEARS AGO HE'D DRIVEN HER AWAY FOR HER OWN GOOD
Now she was Dr. Emma Sinclair, who'd readily helped Wyatt's pregnant daughter and seemed determined to reunite their feuding families. But a future together was impossible, for there was still no way that a hardworking rancher could ever give Emma the life she deserved...!

One star was too good for this sorry excuse for a romance.

Emma has just returned home to Montana for a visit after completing her training to become a doctor in Philadelphia. Her homecoming isn't everything she's hoped however. Her younger brother Cole has gotten Melissa, the daughter of Wyatt who was once the love of her life, with child. Wyatt is furious and an old feud between the families has resurfaced. Emma is thrown into the middle of things when Melissa goes into early labor and the Doc is out of town buying supplies.
I loved the character of Emma, she was such a strong figure to have pursued her love of medicine in a time where women doctors were practically unheard of. She sticks to her beliefs throughout the story and I love how she interacts with Wyatt.
Wyatt is a typical pig-headed stubborn rancher. He knows best so things are going to go how he says they should ... until Emma arrives and everything he thinks gets turned around in a few of their fiery arguments.
The story of Emma and Wyatt, and Melissa and Cole kept me interested throughout,, even though you know with Harlequin it's all going to turn out alright in the end, I found myself wondering how it was going to be pulled off. A great story, but many of the secondary characters had me rolling my eyes because they were so "standard" and unoriginal.

This would have been a four star read, had Bridges not been obsessed with using the word jiggle. If I NEVER see that word referring to how women’s bodies move again in my life, it will be too soon.
