I enjoyed this story about a little boy who had been in a car accident as a baby and was badly burned. His father, Patrick, had cared for him, neglecting his own life for years. When young Jack connected with burn surgeon, Dr. Kate Sinclair, and she offered a different opinion on Jack's treatment, Patrick admired her skills.

While Kate was an exceptional surgeon, her personal life sucked. She grew up with a beautiful sister so she always felt unattractive. Between that and having one relationship with a jerk made her swear off relationships. After losing his wife in the car accident, Patrick thought of nothing but his son's recovery. He never even considered a relationship.

This could have been a sad story but it wasn't. With the help of a little boy, this couple found hope and love. ( )

Overall this was a well constructed and well written book, but unfortunately I'm not much into reading about children and/or doctors and found it a bit slow, so this lowered the score for me. Other readers may well like this a lot more because of that.
Rating: 7/10 ( )

This is a wonderful story of a single father doing the best he can to help his injured son while mourning the loss of his wife. When a new young doctor comes along giving Patrick hope for both his son and his heart he knows it's times to start really living again. Highly highly recommended as are all the Sweet Home Carolina books. ( )

Kantra has a lush writing style that I really admire and characters who are well-rounded and believable. Not to mention that her MacNeill heroes are luscious enough to eat. ( )
