Dr. Destiny was a very short, quick to read book. I found it to be enjoyable, but not one of the better books of its type that I have read lately.
Cassie Allen, social worker, and Dr. Brendan O'Connor have become close friends through working together. They find one another attractive, but are both afraid of ruining their friendship. Brendan has a tragic indident in his past that he hasn't really dealt with, and on the anniversary of its happening, he and Cassie yield to passion. Two months later, Cassie is pregnant, and Brendan offers marriage. After their marriage, Brendan's career as a neonatal specialist doesn't allow them the opportunity to spend time together. Cassie feels neglected and unwanted by this man that she has loved almost since their first meeting. When Cassie finds she is carrying twins, their situation becomes more complicated. Cassie and Brendan have to decide whether they will commit to each other or whether they would be better off apart.
I didn't dislike this book, but it just didn't arrest my attention and emotions in the way that a great book does. I became annoyed with the heroine for feeling sorry for herself and unappreciated by her husband when they were working opposite shifts and they couldn't be together. She married a doctor that she worked with, so she couldn't have been surprised by the committment that his career required, especially as the book said that he had to take up slack for a coworker on vacation. Also, when she has a scare during her pregnancy, Brendan rushes to her, but she refuses to see him. Her actions just didn't make sense to me since she was supposed to be an intelligent professional who loved her husband. I liked the hero better than the heroine. I felt he was a caring guy who was overworked and afraid to experience tragedy again. All in all, this wasn't a bad book, but it could have been better.
