Kissed by the Country Doc by Melinda Curtis

5.0

 Kissed by the Country Doc by Melinda Curtis sees single mom Ella bring her daughter to the snowy mountains of Idaho to visit Second Chance. 

Will Ella find another chance at love there? 

Ella Bowman Monroe 

Ella is the widow of Bryce Monroe, and she has a two-year-old girl named Penny. Penny, Ella, and five cousins of the Monroe line decide to head out to Second Chance, Idaho, to see what it is all about. Mostly to figure out why Grandpa Harlan would leave the town to all twelve grandchildren and his great-grandchildren. Ella is a sweet mom and cousin trying to keep herself tied to the only family she truly knows, thanks to her marriage to Bryce. It seems like the older Monroes, not the cousins, want her out of their family. Besides being a mother, Ella is a savvy real estate agent and good at her job. You tell by how she handles a few of the properties that she could look at. 

Noah Bishop 

Dr. Noah Bishop was an orthopedic surgeon until he was in an accident that left his hand ugly and unable to perform surgery. So, he goes to hide out in Second Chance, Idaho, to try and be a country general practitioner to everyone in Second Chance. Noah was definitely a grump when Ella showed up, but as they spent more time together, she changed the town's grump into a good guy. He is like an onion. Ella had to peel back the layers to reveal his inner nice person. 

I love Noah and Ella's relationship and how it blossomed despite their not wanting it to. These two are definitely cute together, and he is an excellent guy to Penny. 

The Story 

After Grandpa Harlan's funeral, the Monroe clan attends the reading of his will. The children of Harlan got a sweet deal, while the grandkids and great-grandchildren not so much. So Ella, with Penny in tow and five other Monroes, went to Second Chance to learn more about it. I love how Ms. Curtis set up the series in a way that, in each new installment, we learn more about the town and story. 

Five Stars 

Kissed by the Country Doc by Melinda Curtis has Harlan Monroe's grandchildren finding out about their inheritance and learning what to do about it. Ms. Curtis has a great series on her hands, and I can't wait to get into the next book...at some point. I am giving Kissed by the Country Doc by Melinda Curtis five stars and recommend it. 

Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of Kissed by the Country Doc by Melinda Curtis. 

Until the next time,
