A Cowboy Loves the Doctor #0.5

A Doctor Second Chance for the Rancher

Rate this book
Stuck together in the same space with no way of getting out, can the reluctant rancher open her heart again to the laid-back doctor she'd loved a few decades before?

Maggie Fields is happy with her life: she has a ranch to care for, three successful foster sons to watch over, and a granddaughter to dote on. So when the one man who broke her heart many decades ago lands on her doorstep, she’s not willing to give him a chance again.

Widowed Peter Taylor has reached the pinnacle of his career as an award-winning general surgeon and raised two accomplished children. But something seems to be missing in his life. So when he takes a road trip to see a friend and ends up meeting his long-lost love, he’s determined to find out why she left him many years ago.

When they get trapped together in a barn, will they resolve their issues and give love a second chance, or will old secrets keep them apart forever?

This story was previously published in the Love Under Lockdown Limited Edition Box Set.

I didn’t realize at first that this was a very short prequel to a series. I think I would have liked this much better if I would have had more time to delve into the characters and the relationship. Because this is so short, it became a second chance insta love story. I enjoyed the writing style and will read more from the author.

I read this book when it was part of a box set. Now it’s been released in its own, and what a beautiful cover and story it is too.

This is a really sweet continuation story to the Dexington Medical romance series.

This one is about an older couple who were split up 30 years ago but never stopped loving the other. When a broken down car brings him to her doorstep it opens up a whole can of worms.

The family members of each of them were quite endearing and you could so imagine them doing the antics they got up too.

This is part of A Cowboy Loves The Doctor Series and it is Maggie and Peter's story and even though it is a short read it still lacks a punch. Maggie and Peter have a past and they were in love but something went wrong between them and Maggie walker away. Now years later and Peter turns up at the ranch where Maggie lives with her three foster sons and she is not happy to see Peter or give him a second chance. Peter is shocked to see Maggie again after so many years and now he feels that he may have the chance to find out what made Maggie walk away from him. Will Maggie and Peter get a second chance or has too many years gone for it to work for them. Robin Daniels is an amazing author and writer and the characters and storyline in this book is so good that you have to keep reading to see what would happen next. I definitely recommend you read this book and others by Dobi Daniels and you will definitely not be disappointed.
I voluntarily reviewed an Arc copy of this book.

The story-line is short but wonderful, especially for a fellow senior who has been married many years. We all look back at those we might have loved and lost but never saw again. This gal was lucky as his car literally stopped running near her home and they met up again. Deciding to renew acquaintances was a minor stumbling block and life moved on. Yes, there will be ups and downs but it was wonderful to see second chances actually found love. Thanks to the author for a fun read.

Every day is a second chance -

This was a nice short "Coming of age" story. The A Cowboy Loves the Doctor (3 book series) Kindle Edition should be very interesting. I have A Doctor Blind Date for the Cowboy: A sweet medical western romance (A Cowboy Loves the Doctor Book 1) Kindle Edition as a freebie.

Enjoy and happy reading!

Peter and Maggie meet after a lot of years passed since they see each other last. Things have changed a lot for them, however, that love they felt for each other once is still there. A second chance on love they are not going to let it pass.
A sweet clean and well-written story you will enjoy.

Maggie Fields runs a ranch with her foster sons and seems perfectly happy until Dr. Peter Taylor from her past lands on her doorstep. Maggie must then confront the feelings she's left behind. Dr. Peter Taylor never expected to run into his former love who broke his heart. Great characters in this short and sweet true love romance.

Short and Sweet

Yes, this is a short and sweet read, but it is a great story of reconnecting, finding out that your perception of the truth is not what it was, and second chances. The characters are great, and the author's descriptive writing had me rooting for them. It's a short and sweet story that does not disappoint.

Delightful

I really enjoyed this second chance romance. As I’m now a great grandmother and alone. I like stories of older adults finding their mates. Not one wants to grow old alone. It was well written. I know you are going to love it.

A really well developed story in just a few pages. I loved the main characters and was amazed that the H's mother was still included in the family after her stunt. Loved the way their kids and foster kids related to the news. Great writing and editing.

The basic premise was a good one but the brevity of the story lost much of the romance it could have contained. Coupled with poor editing and proofing, this book was a struggle to read.

I downloaded this book during the stuff a kindle event and it was a quick little read which would be fine and dandy but it had some potholes and I just wish the story could've been longer.

very modern.

I was looking for something entirely different but this was a nice book.
I rather much prefer older times than the newer modern day.

As I said it was a sweet book.
