About this eBook

 Betrayed by his ex-fiancée, Dr. Wyatt Gallagher turns to the one woman he can always trust – his best friend, Mia Watson. After moving away, Wyatt has realized he wants more than friendship with the beautiful artist. With that in mind, he convinces Mia to come to Marietta for the Christmas holidays. But wooing Mia is surprisingly difficult — especially given the passionate night they’ve already shared. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Arial; color: #323333; -webkit-text-stroke: #323333} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Arial; color: #323333; -webkit-text-stroke: #323333; min-height: 16.0px} span.s1 {font-kerning: none}

Though Mia Watson has loved Wyatt Gallagher for years, he's always seen her as a friend, never a lover. Except for one unforgettable interlude when comfort turned to passion. Then Wyatt moved back to Montana, leaving Mia with an unexpected consequence of their night together--and soon, heartbreak to follow.

Faced with the fulfillment of her dreams, Mia knows she must reveal the consequences of their night together to Wyatt. But having withheld the truth for so long, will her confession destroy his trust in her, ending their friendship and any hope of a future together?

Ratings and reviews

3 stars — I don’t know…this one started off not bad, but something was just missing from the writing to bring it from words on a page to magic. I’m not a writer, so I don’t even know what’s missing…all I know is that I was sucked in, I wasn’t that captivated, it felt like perfunctory reading instead of emotions and connections and all that shiznit. It didn’t help that I grew annoyed with Mia’s constant worry over her secret, but her refusal to do anything about it or reach out to anyone. And I was not impressed with Wyatt really at all — he kind of came across as a douchecanoe. His reactions were volatile, he wasn’t super supportive, he wasn’t super kind…he was average stereotypical male, and that’s not my jam. As for the chemistry between them? Eh. There were all these romantic dates and moments that could have been more, but there was something missing preventing me from swooning or getting wrapped up in them together. *shrugs* I’m starting to wonder if it’s me or the books. I’ll keep trying!

"The Doctor's Christmas Proposal" by Eve Gaddy is book number three in the "Gallaghers Montana" series. This is Dr. Wyatt Gallagher and Mia Watson's story. Wyatt and Mia have been friends for years. Mia has been in love with him but never told Wyatt. One night their friendship crossed the line then Wyatt suddenly moved back home to Marietta. Wyatt couldn't forget their night together. He calls Mia and convinces her to come to Marietta for Christmas. Will Wyatt convince Mia to take a chance on love? Will the secret that Mia has kept from Wyatt destroy their chance at love? This is a sweet and steamy friends to lovers romance. I enjoyed Wyatt and Mia's story. The Gallagher family is a fun group. The author did a great joy of making the reader feel like the characters are friends. FYI, includes mature content. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This is my first read by Eve Gaddy and I was thoroughly enchanted! THE DOCTOR’S CHRISTMAS PROPOSAL is full of all kinds of warm and fuzzy feelings. Mia and Wyatt are great characters and I really enjoyed reading their friends-to-lovers story. Wyatt moved back home to Montana shortly after his fiancée cheated on him. But not before breaking up with her and sharing one night of passion with his best friend Mia. He’s faced with attending his brother’s wedding and invites Mia to his hometown to accompany him to the wedding and spend Christmas with him. You see, Wyatt has finally realized that his feelings for Mia are deeper than the close friendship they shared. He’s invited Mia to the wedding to help him get through it, but also to spend time with her and hopefully explore these uncharted feelings. Mia is an artist living and working in Colorado when she gets a call from her friend Wyatt inviting her to come to a wedding. She’s surprised and a little reluctant, but ultimately agrees to go. The thing is, Mia has loved Wyatt almost as long as she’s known him. He broke her heart when he decided to up and move back home and hasn’t spoken to her since. Mia decides that she’s going to make this trip count and show Wyatt exactly what he’s missing while trying to keep her heart from breaking all over again. There’s just one little (big) thing, she’s got a secret she’s kept from him. Can she and Wyatt start something special, or will this secret destroy any possibility of a relationship between them? Wyatt is charming, sincere and very romantic. Mia is a strong female, but very guarded. She’s afraid of the feelings she has for Wyatt and of the secret she still hasn’t yet revealed to him. Her character was easily relatable. What I loved about this story was the support of the secondary characters. Wyatt’s family is hard-working and fun-loving. I want to know more about them and the people of this quaint Montana town! THE DOCTOR’S CHRISTMAS PROPOSAL is a quality read full of heart! ***ARC provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All conclusions reached are my own***
