H/h were neighbours in Chicago but both led busy lives, he in an ER, she as a radio host, one night she lost her job and he had a bad day and they spent one night together, now the in a small town where the hero is temporarily working she comes in to give birth. He finds out the baby is his, thinks she is married, she is not. No big issues here, hero had to face ridicule because of being illegitimate and that is why didn't want children, takes him a while to tell this to the heroine, plus something bad happened in the ER the day they slept together. She wants love, he is less of an open book but he kind of with her family makes him marry her. A nice enough read where the heroine kind of acted stupid at the start by keeping the pregnancy and paternity a secret.

***3.5 Stars***
Tyler Braden is a brilliant doctor, a trauma specialist, in Chicago until a tragedy struck in the emergency room where he was working. He ends up at the center of an investigation and was quickly cleared of any wrong doing. In fact, you could say he was the hero in this situation saving many peoples' lives. But there is a woman who wants to blame the good doctor and put him out of business. Although he was found completely innocent of charges she continues to go at him through any means possible.
Lexi lost her job in Chicago and refused the move to LA. She ran into the gorgeous doctor down the hall from her apartment and they struck up a conversation, both of them having had the worst day of their lives. One thing led to another and they turned to each other for solace and comfort. The next day Lexi left town to moved back home in Tennessee. The young doctor remembers she was heading home to Tennessee so he tries to find a locum position so he can try and find her.
Fast forward nine months and two weeks and Lexi has just arrived at the clinic ready to deliver her baby and when the locum physician walks into her room she is dumbstruck. How could it possibly be the man she spent the night with nine months ago, the father of her baby? The same man who said he never wanted children, marriage or a family? Apparently you can't take a man at his word when he stresses he doesn't want a child or family. She is furious he is going to deliver their child. She just wants to raise her child alone and do things the way she wants without taking the father of her child into consideration at all.
Lexi was a very selfish heroine and it seemed honesty, at times, was not in her vocabulary. Tyler just wants to be a father to his child and protect and love what's his, the baby and Lexi. He never knew who his father was and his mother died without ever telling him. It has bothered him tremendously and he was looked at as less than during his life.
This book is about a long, sometimes it seemed very long, journey to happiness. Misunderstandings and misconceptions, lies and secrets abound and I was glad when it all got straightened out. I highly recommend this book. You will experience quite a bumpy ride on the road to happiness.

Una stellina e mezzo tutta per Matthew <333 la cosina più adorabile dell'intero libro *_*
Per il resto il romanzo non è un granché. E' strutturato attorno ad una trama banale (per quanto la presenza di un bambino sia sempre un punto a favore nel mio metro di giudizio) raccontata in uno stile che manca completamente di una valida tecnica narrativa: è un semplice tell e non un mostrare, con ben poche descrizioni a chiarire dove e come si svolgano i fatti (che si susseguono, tra l'altro, con una velocità degna di Flash).
Almeno c'è il lieto fine.

Well what can I say? Another book where the mother keeps an unplanned pregnancy from the father. Throw that into a Doc Hollywood wrapper and that is the story.
Even with the cliched story and the unbelievable characters, I still enjoyed this enough for three stars. I'm not sure why. Just call it a guilty pleasure I guess.

Another one of those light reads, nothing really drastic happens in the book, except for a few 'lies' if you'd even call them that and a huge confession of love and death. I'd say that's about it. The story sweetly written and decent enough for a rainy day.
