The Jinx
Jinxed by a family curse…
Forever unlucky in love, spunky physical therapist, CeeCee Adams has accepted her fate. While she believes she can’t have happily-ever-after, she can have happy-for-now with her group of fun friends and that includes her sexy next-door-neighbor.
Dr. Jack Travis longs to take his friendship with CeeCee to a whole new level, but she’s convinced she’s damaged, and they have no chance as a couple.

She’s taken flying lessons, completed two marathons, rode in a hot-air balloon, performed with a professional jazz band, traveled Europe as a teenager, hiked volcanoes in Hawaii, trod on glaciers in Alaska, shot white-water rapids, water-skied, snow-skied, raced all-terrain vehicles, bodysurfed in the Gulf of Mexico, and photographed grizzly bears in Yellowstone.
She lives in her native Texas, with her own real-life hero, Bill.

Enjoyable
This was a fun story about taking chances, facing fears, falling in love with your very best friend, taking a leap of faith, and finding your HEA.
That being said, I was a little disappointed in all of the errors. One, especially, went “He wanted him.” I do believe SHE wanted him. Overall, I enjoyed the storyline and Lori is one of my favorite authors.

Engaging continuation of the Heartthrob Hospital series!
Jack loves his neighbor CeeCee, but she is convinced her family has been jinxed to never marry happily. To combat this, she will not allow herself to get close to any guy. So he pretends to be his wild twin Zach, who would only want a wild fling. How long can he pretend to be his brother? What will happen when she finds out the truth? Read this to find out! It was funny and kind of sad at the same time.
The pace is fast and the tone is uncertain yet hopeful with a character oriented storyline that has some steamy scenes. The characters are vivid and engaging. It was an interesting concept for the story, but I did feel it was starting to go on for too long. I can't wait to read Janet's story next!

Telephone?
I enjoyed the “friends to lovers” trope of this story, but there were plot problems with the use of Jack/Zack’s telephone that messed up my enjoyment.

"«Jack, amore, ascoltami. Ho passato tutta la vita sognando un uomo che mi desse delle radici, ed è esattamente ciò che fai tu. Ci completiamo a vicenda. Io sono aria, tu terra. Tu mi tieni salda, io ti sollevo.» Aveva ragione, perfettamente ragione."
Una storiella simpatica e carina, anche se l 'idea della maledizione è un po' campata in aria XD

Ni bueno, ni malo. Esperé un poco más de comedia, a pesar de que tenia momentos que pueden salvarla, pero que no llegan a completar el contexto de comedia romántica.
