One of my all time keepers is Rachel Gibson’s Truly, Madly, Yours. I don’t know if that’s because I have spent a great deal of my life obsessing about my hair, but I think it’s got more to do with the witty, fast-paced situations and characters Ms. Gibson created. I am glad to say that…

Unfortunately, everything else…
This book snagged me right away. It features a heroine and hero who are both doctors. Their profession is an integral part of the storyline, as is their friendship.

Drive Me Wild by Julie Ortolon is one of those books that’s frustrating because it so obviously could have been better.
