Dear Love Doctor

Love, New Orleans Style #4

by Hailey North

"...so give up on him and get on with your life. He will only break your heart, My conclusion as to his ability to commit is...Diagnosis Terminal!" The Love Doctor Daffodil "Daffy" Landry stared at her words of advice to the lovelorn and pressed her hand against her breast. Was she writing about this unknownCasanova...or about herself? Broken Hearts Mended Here Diagnosis Terminal! Charming, sexy, and self-made Hunter James isn't one to back away from a challenge. Slapping his copy of the New Orleans Crescent against his thigh, he approached the newspaper's outer office. How dare that anonymous, autocratic, and insufferable Love Doctor label him as incapable of commitment? Did she ever consider that he simply hasn't met the right woman? He'll uncover the author's identity and give her a piece of his mind. But first, appreciating an opportunity when it presents itself, he's got to meet the beckoning blonde behind the reception desk. Who knows? Maybe the Love Doctor has led him to the woman of his dreams after all...

Daffodil "Daffy" Landry, twin to Jonquil "Jonni" is a society columnist in New Orleans and old money. She's unable to maintain a relationship for fear of turning out like her mother whom she found in bed with the father of a friend. She also moonlights as the "Dear Love Doctor" in another paper. As such, she comes to the attention of Hunter James, a self made millionaire computer guru. The attraction is instant, the sex hot, but both have to get over their hangups to accept the other.

Quick read, some hot sex.

This was a quick but very enjoyable read. I feel in love with both the main characters and was rooting for them all through the book.

[Misty (Reds Romance Reviews) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Daffy Landry has always struggled to find her perfect mate, mainly because of her commitment issues and fears of letting any man get close enough to hurt her, which has earned her the label of a tease! She isn't so much a tease, as just a woman deeply afraid of getting hurt, which can easily be blamed on being witness to her mother's transgressions.

She spends her time handing out love advice to love struck folks in her "Dear Love Doctor" advice column, which ends up getting her in a little hot water with one man in particular, Mr. Hunter James. He finds her advice about him offensive and sets out on a mission to find the Love Doctor, and set the record straight. His mission ends up getting put on hold because of an spicy encounter with a stunning blonde. And little does he know this blonde just so happens to get him one step closer to finding the mysterious Love Doctor...

This story was a refreshing change of pace for me, and I highly enjoyed following the Love Doctor on her little adventure!! Definitely a book to add to your reading list!!

Dear Love Doctor by Hailey North My rating: 5 of 5 stars I loved this story. The quirky characters and comical scenarios are what made this book a must read for me. Daffodil and Hunter were adorable. Daffodil is insecure and opinionated, Hunter is insecure, uptight and frustrated. What they don't realize is that the issues and insecurities that they have are what make them a perfect match. Ms. North tackled everyday issues with a hilarious funny read. Dear Love Doctor by: Hailey North was a cute story with a lot of heart.

Its been long since i read this book. I only remembered it today because i picked up an book of the same author. And then i realized i read this book and i remember her name!!!!!!!! which is really rare so its big thing for me because i usually don't remember the writers i don't like and some times even the once i like. So go figure. This book was super fun to read. quick and lively characters no heavy crying stuff. Very Cute story. So you should give it a try if you have it. keep it for those gloomy days because its that kind of a book. Not even very hunky dory but a nice one.

This was a cute sotry. I love it! The only thing that wasn't the best is that it was a rather loose reason for him to try to find out who the love doctor was and then to promptly forget his mission! But, this was terrific!
