I've read a few really good books where a doctor gets a woman pregnant, so I like the trope. This was a fun, work related read (both the hero & heroine are doctors) that was deeper than the title. The hospital is in desperate need of funds, and Dr. Grant (hero) helps Dr. Munroe apply for the grant. Both had to confront their past to be together.

I do think it was a little crazy how Harrison's sister ran off and didn't talk to him for 19 years. That's how I figured out he was 35. Not sure how old Chloe was though.

Also, the cover model's abs are ridiculous they don't even look real. I doubt a doctor would have abs that big because doctors don't have hours to spend in a gym.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. It was as predictable as all get up, but still a really enjoyable read.

This was a good read. Chloe meets Harrison one night and they have a one night stand. Comes to find out he is now working with her at the hospital. Both are troubled people. However, they end up falling in love and getting their happy ending.

Adequate. Just your basic story. Nothing exciting or exceptional. Just nice. Kind of boring in places, but managed to finish this.

When Contrasting Worlds Meet

Harrison Grant, a handsome man with rich brown eyes and brown hair, is lucky that the psychological scars of his childhood aren’t visible. Growing up as the son of two successful parents, both specialist physicians with stellar careers, he was always held to an impossibly high standard, which older sister Stella proved easily accessible, but less easily achieved by the younger child, Harrison.

But while his family seemed to be the model of intellectual achievement, they were devoid of emotional empathy, especially the uniqueness of the individual, and especially when it came to the uniqueness of their own children. So, it was a stunning setback for the elder Grants when as valedictorian, Stella, in her graduation speech pulled back the curtains on the homelife of her “perfect family.” So, rather than following her parents expected academic plans for her which included college and medical school, she left. And so, for the next 19 years, while no longer compared to his elder sibling, Stella, Harrison was gifted to the micro-management of his parents’ academic and professional guidance.

Now, he is a surgeon at well-financed Angel’s Grace Memorial Hospital of Los Angeles, California, but he still disappoints his parents—he didn’t follow their footsteps along the very refined pathway of medical specialty. And, he has continued to refine his ability to buck the system and directives, becoming the apparent “hospital lothario” on call. But, the Chief of Staff, Dr. John Balford, has had enough. He tells his rising star surgeon to pack his bag and to head to

While Harrison has all the makings of being a stellar surgeon, he lacks the emotional discipline with co-workers and the emotional empathy needed with his patients. And the final line is crossed unknowingly by the stellar surgeon when the social media claims of a female resident are both awkward and embarrassing for the hospital. So, the chief has sent his best young surgeon to the small community hospital of Middlebend, Montana. And as far as Harrison is concerned, the Chief might as well have sent him to the outer regions of Nowhere.

The heart of the small community of Middlebend and its hospital is Chloe Munroe, a beautiful native of the community. A green-eyed, strawberry blonde, 3rd year resident with both medical skills and a natural, loving empathy, Chloe shares herself effortlessly with anyone whom she encounters. Raised by the collective community after her single parent mom died of an overdose when Chloe was only 5, she knows everyone and they know, trust and love her. So, when she encounters the “big city doctor” who has been assigned to the out-of-state hospital she is wary of him, his motives and the reasons for his precipitous assignment to the small, understaffed and underfunded community hospital, leaving behind the prestigious LA world.

But her patience with the “Hollywood Hunk” is further strained when the Middlebend Chief Dr. Rodney Perkins assigns the two polar opposites to work together on a grant that would allow the small impoverished local regional hospital to not just stay open, but provide the area with adequate staff, an equipped emergency care unit and ambulances that could be the difference in life-or-death situations. And while Chloe has spent every extra waking minute combing through grant applications and is thrilled that the Chief has assigned the new doctor to assist her search, she is unnerved by this particular doctor’s assistance. The previous night, in a rare moment of weakness and excessive alcohol, Chloe engaged in “stranger sex” with a handsome man whom she assumes is a “traveler”, just passing through her community, out behind the local pub, The Nosedive. Now, the next day at the hospital, she is assigned to work with the newly arrived LA doctor, who is also the “traveler” from the satisfyingly passionate previous night.

Dr. Harrison Grant has been temporarily released from his position in LA after an incident at work. His boss has sent him to work in Middlebend General Hospital in Middlebend, Montana. As it turns out it is in the middle of nowhere and doesn't even have an emergency room. He is going to be there a year or till his boss decides if he's learned his lesson. He feels like he is being punished for something he didn't do. While on his way there he stops at a hole in the wall bar and meets a beautiful woman named Chloe. After a night of drinking she propositions him to have sex with her. What warm blooded man would turn her down? When he arrives at the hospital the next day he sees her in the crowd and soon realizes she works there. Turns out she is a third year resident. They are both shocked by the turn of the events but agree to let what happened the night before go and act like it didn't occurred but life, fate and chemistry have other plans.

Dr. Chloe Monroe loves her town, community and the people she grew up with and plans to stay after she finishes her residency. The small town hospital has seen better days and lost its funding for the emergency room many years ago. Her dream is to get funding to make it a full hospital again. Life hasn't been easy for her and she is determined to make things better for her town and surrounding communities.
Chloe is caring,generous and a wonderful person. Harrison is arrogant, boastful, bumptious and an all around jerk with no bedside manners. Yet as time passes she changes him and he becomes a better person more compassionate and caring.

Can their undeniable attraction and chemistry turn into more or will his past ruin everything?

When someone decided to tattle, Dr. Harrison Grant moves to Middlebend, Montana, to help at the small hospital. The thing is that Harrison is unable, or unwilling, to do as his boss ordered. Find compassion for his patients to become a better doctor. Unfortunately, Harrison knows he is one of the best surgeons around. He doesn’t need to know his patients.

Dr. Chloe Munroe’s heart beats for Middlebend. She knows everyone personally and is genuine in her quest to help. She even comes in on her own time to look for grants so the hospital can upgrade their equipment. And now with Harrison’s presence, Middlebend General Hospital has a chance. But they have an itsy bitsy problem that isn’t going away.

We all need a Chloe! Headstrong. Determined. Gutsy. She’s a perfect example of someone willing to give back. This book was a nice surprise. It is much more than a small town love affair. Annabelle Love makes dreams come true.

I received this book as an advance review copy free from Booksprout. I have read and reviewed this book voluntarily.

Dr Harrison Grant is sent to Middleband in Montana by his boss after he made a mistake and now he sits in the towns bar and meets a gorgeous woman who is witty and charming and it isn’t long before they get a room. Chloe is frustrated and is in the bar having a few drinks and meets a sexy as sin man who makes her forget all her troubles for one night and boy what a fabulous night it was and in the morning they realize that he’s the new Doctor that starts tomorrow at her hospital. Chloe and Harrison struggle to keep there hands off each other all the while trying to get a grant for the hospital. How does it all turn out and can they forget there past to move forward and maybe have a future together.

This is Harrison and Chloe’s story. Harrison is a grumpy, bossy, and impossible surgeon, and he and Chloe spent a steamy night together before she found out that they till be working together. As the small-town hospital desperately needs funding, Chloe has no option by to collaborate with the new doctor in town. This is a well written story which has undeniable chemistry and is an entertaining and steamy addictive page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

It takes a village …

Welcome to small town U.S.A. where Chloe, the good doctor, does everything possibly to pay back the village which took her in and raised her when her mother died.
Enter L.A. MD transplant Harrison, who fell from grace at his old hospital and was sent to the boondocks to repent…
These two team up and Harrison is taught community spirit while Chloe learns to fight the ghosts of her past.
Yes, it takes a village …😉 romantic and full of lovely, in part hysterically eccentric characters, I very much enjoyed reading this story 👍🏼.

I really enjoyed reading, Dr.'s Surprise Baby by Annabelle Love because it was a steamy story about Chloe and Harrison. Their chemistry was instant and steamy!! Chloe's character was focused and caring. Harrison's character was alpha and at first kind of arrogant, but as he and Chloe worked together, his attitude changed over time. I would highly recommend reading this story. I love the cover of this book as well. So hot and steamy and dreamy!!!

Annabelle Love has managed to successfully mix a romantic story with heat and humor. It’s like Doc Hollywood but hotter! She takes the time to build layered backstories with her main characters, in addition to several amazing secondary characters.
Dr’s Surprise Baby is well written and a really great read. The relationship between Harrison and Chloe is so genuine, despite them both having emotional issues from their childhoods. They are able to complete each other emotionally. I love it when I find a novel that entertains me and also makes me experience deep feelings.

Dr. Harrison Grant has been relegated to the boonies -Montana - from “his city”, L.A. Chloe is a 3rd year resident known as the “intern” because the town’s hospital is so small. There are secrets, misunderstandings, hurt feelings bad childhoods which play into the story, but told in a fascinating way. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and rooting for Harris and Chloe. Will they get together or will he go back to L.A.? You need to read to find our!

All rather predictable

The only unpredictable part of this story was his stalker! It was quite unbelievable however that she would travel all that way to stalk him and then let the object of her affections convince her that he's not the man for her and make her feel bad for upsetting his love interest (who she subsequently makes a point of apologising too and telling she'll be seeking therapy on her return home fgs!).... A S I F!

Chloe meets Harrison at Nosedive, the bar in Middlebend, not knowing that she's going to be working with him! Harrison is a high powered surgeon who's been sent from LA due to alleged misconduct. He's hiding the details from Chloe, who is trying to make up for her mother.
Both of them have parental problems, they start to rely on each other.

I love to read Doctor romances, and this one is just a delight. Harrison is an LA doctor who travels to Montana to work at a general hospital for a year. He meets Chloe at a bar when he arrives in the small town. After a quick one night stand, they don’t expect to see one another again until he shows up at the hospital where she works as a Resident Doctor. A wonderful storyline with great dialogue and characters who whip up some sizzling chemistry!

what a beautiful love story

Harrison is a lonely doctor trying to hide from scandal. Chloe is a lonely doctor who puts everything into her work. When they get together that first night, you know this might be real. I loved the angst back and forth between the two of them. Until the finally realize they can’t live without each other.
I couldn’t put this book down. Such a sweet, beautiful love story.

Sweet, with a few tissue moments

Just a few little typos took the polish off this story for me. If they had have been sorted then I would have been more likely to give a higher score.
I liked that this standalone actually read like a standalone, and I feel like enough of the story was revealed to leave me comfortable with the ending.
I am glad that Dr Harrison Grant and Dr Chloe Munroe got their HEA.

loved it

Harrison is a pretentious Dr from LA exiled in to a struggling hospital in his boss’s hometown Montana hospital. Chloe is a small town Dr determined to find a grant to help save her beloved hospital. Harrison wants nothing to do with small town life but when his arrogance infuriates Chloe he finds himself wanting to make amends and helps her reel in a grant that they only qualify thanks to Harrison’s presence and the tenuous connection to his previous hospital in LA.

This needs more stars

What a beautifully told story. We've all got issues, but these two are a hot mess. Focusing on being doctors, not just average doctors, but the "best" isn't everything. Aiming to save everyone and everything out of guilt that doesn't belong to her. Yeah, also not everything. Love, friendship, connections. THATS everything! Harrison is a fish out of water in a small town, but what he doesn't know is that this map dot will save him.

I liked the premises of the book, but I really didn't like Harrison. He was a douche and didn't really grow.
Chloe was okay, but needed to grow up some also.
And can characters quit being surprised when they get pregnant when they don't use protection! .

Wowza, a quikie that became so much more...
So enjoyed these feisty protagonists that had me laughing one minute & then smacking them so hard the next. Loved the heroine, the hero not so much but when they merged their skills they were unstoppable in the boardroom & the bedroom. A really good read. I received an arc & this is my honest & voluntary review.

cute, but not great

There was nothing wrong with book. It was cute. There was nothing special about it and the characters were just meh. It was very unbelievable even for a small town kinda thing. It was good for something quick and mindless though and it didn’t have a bunch of repetition so I rated 3 instead of a 2.

Good.

I liked this book quite a bit, especially the way the characters were flawed, but the timelines didn’t make sense (I could not tell how much time had passed at some points). The lack of responsibility around birth control and lack of awareness of her own body by a doctor just did not make sense to me.

Loved it

Chloe is an over achiever. She cares deeply for everyone. Harrison is a sexy out of town doctor. Sex against a grimy bar wall leads to a bun in the oven. Will Chloe and Harrison get out of there own way to make this family work? This is a great read, I highly recommend it.

A little wordy but a good story

Two doctors with emotional issues from crappy parents who find comfort in each other. Quirky towns people but not too crazy. A bit wordy at times but enjoyed overall.
