"I have not laughed so much (while reading a book) in a long time. While there is real drama woven into the story, the humor is fantastic. I agree with other reviewers that the one part near the end seemed awkward, but it did not detract from the great humor. "

    " I really liked parts of this book. A strong heroine, a female doctor. A stubborn hero. The historical information about medical procedures was ver interesting. Some of the religeon was a bit to pat, but that could work for some readers. "

    " I know I said I was going to take a break from this author but this was on my bookcase and since I had nothing else to read I though I'd start it. I'm glad I did. A lot more romance, clean and cute. Moral Note: Does say jackarse, and talks about breasts in relation to breast cancer. "

    " 3.5 A very enjoyable read. I really like when you get a spunky heroine, but the hero is just as likely to spar back. I laughed out loud many times. "

    " I'm usually a very big fan of books by Cathy Marie Hake but this wasn't her best work. I did enjoy it very much but it did not catch my attention as much as her other works I have read. It was, however, a very enjoyable read and I look forward to reading more of her books. "

    " This was a clean read, which I like. It was also a book that would frequently not make sense to me. I've never had to stop, go back and re-read parts so much, just to figure out what was going on in the story. It was not written well in that way. "
