Private Practice by Samanthe Beck
4.0
A Smart, Sensual, and Fully Enjoyable Contemporary Romance...
This one is a re-read of sorts for me as I first found “Private Practice” by Samanthe Beck in the Chapters story app, and despite my penchant for darker, more violent things I admit I am not fully immune to the charms of a good old fashioned vanilla romance, and being intrigued by the premise gave it a try. After enjoying the Chapters app version immensely I decided to seek out the full-length book in order to enjoy the original story as the author intended as I find the app editions loosely based and often not at all similar to the original books. To my relief the app version is closely linked to the original and overall the full story is a charming and safely sensual (for those a bit shy for the more erotic fare) and enjoyable read.
Here Beck gives us the story of Dr. Ellie “Sparky” Swann the twenty-eight year old accomplished and extremely disciplined general practitioner who comes back to her hometown of Bluelick Kentucky to open her own medical practice and look after her ailing father. A woman with a single minded, wild woman, idea of how to capture the heart of her teenage crush who she finds out is recently single, a most unusual idea for which she enlists the help of the town heart throb. And said heart throb himself, Tyler Longfoot, the disarmingly handsome construction company owner four years Ellie’s senior. A man known by Ellie and every other woman in their tiny town as a womanizer, famous as much for his ‘love-em and leave-em’ ways as he is for his work ethic, now a self-made man who isn’t quite what he appears to be.
What follows is a delightful story of growing up, discovering who you are beyond your high school labels, and finding love in the right places rather than the ones you think you should. It is a tale of learning to trust one’s own heart and moving past the fear a troubled childhood often inflicts and learning to trust and truly follow your heart.
It is a sweet and aww inducing story of overcoming childhood trauma and learning to both embrace the unexpected and accept love. And I promise you, you will fall in love with these characters. The care and protection Tyler affords Ellie with melt your heart and make you sigh. The sex kitten lengths Ellie will go to, to get her man will make you giggle.
Is it a wildly erotic fifty shade-esque leather and lace type of fare many of you are seeking? No, no it is not. This one is rather mild and very vanilla in sensibility. However, what it lacks in mainstream spice it makes up for in intelligently written, heartfelt emotional growth. It is wholly relatable and very, very sexy. The chemistry between Ellie and Tyler is undeniable. Their journey from tutor/student to couple surprisingly genuine and humor filled. It is a story that will make you smile and fill you with squishy love tingles and well worth the read.
