About this ebook

She's just what the doctor ordered... but never knew he needed

U.S. Marshal-turned-Sheriff Taylor James can trace her family back to the original thirteen Marshals appointed by George Washington. She's good at her job, but once they find out she's the local law, she can't get even one of her dates to stay past the appetizers. Her plan? Convince good friend and hot neighbor Dr. Gabriel Adams to give her dating lessons since his dance card is always full.

A survivor of childhood leukemia with no guarantee his remission will last, Gabe lives by two rules: Don't get emotionally involved and don't let his well organized life spiral out of control. When he's given a baby, with his name on her birth certificate, he needs Taylor's help. But dangling dating lessons in exchange? If that will get the dedicated sheriff to lend a helping hand, could it be a bargain worth making?

Ratings and reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed this story, friends to HEA. This is a sweet clean romance set in the small town of Angel Point. Sheriff Taylor shares a duplex with Dr Adam, that he owns, they have become friends and the Dr has one rule, he doesn't date his renter. Soon they strike up a bargain, The Dr needs help with a baby that was left to him and the Sheriff needs help with dating advise. Soon their friendship develops into more but both are afraid of going forward. Can they both overcome their difficulties and find their HEA? This was wonderful book that kept me turning the pages. Loved these characters, both with so much to give to the community. Loved baby Rose, such sweetheart. Great secondary characters, along with the secondary romance. I can't wait to return to Angel Point.

This is one of those books that is a slow start for me. But once I got into it, it moved right on along into a nice burning romance of a read. Sheriff Taylor is lucky if she can make i through a date much less get to a second one. And her biological clock is ticking. Then we have Doctor Gabe on the other had hot doc who loves kids but never plans to marry and thinks kids are not in his future. These two share a living space as in duplex and are fast friends. So fast friends that one feels she can ask the other one to help her learn how to over come the never get to the second date jinx. She believes there is more to Dr Gabe than being a good hearted doctor and serial dating. These two are meant to be together as friends and more. So slow start to a burning romance.

This first book in this new series, is a sweet, clean and at times heartbreaking romance, that will touch your hearts. Temporary Sheriff in town (and a US Marshal on leave) , Taylor James and physician Gabe Adams, are two individuals whose past has molded their present, and unless they reassess their lives, it could also mold their future. But are they willing to make a change and take a chance at a more fulfilling life? When an unexpected baby brings them together and takes over their lives, what will happen? As plans are made for a possible future, they are thrown a curveball. Will that be the last straw that will keep them from having their individual and together’s happiness? This was an engaging story with complex main characters and a good cast of secondary characters. It was also the first book I read by Ms. Lute, and now can’t wait to see what happens in book 2 of the series. I was entrusted a copy of this book by Tule Publishing. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
