I really wanted to love this book but there were just too many cringy moments. Alexis is an emergency room physician, she was coming home from her aunt’s funeral when she swerved to miss a raccoon. She ends up in a ditch out in the middle of nowhere. She called roadside assistance, but became concerned when, after an hour they didn’t show up. Just when she’s given up hope, Daniel Grant comes to her rescue and in  a weird twist they sleep together. Alexis runs out in the middle of the night thinking it was just a one night stand, but Daniel is kind of crushed wondering just what went wrong. Alexis has an ex who was a psychologically abusive cheater, a psychologically abusive father and a mom who said nothing. Alexis’ friends were pretentious and privileged. She comes from a family of surgeons with a 125 year family legacy in the hospital where she works. Daniel runs a bed and breakfast and is mayor of his podunk town. The worlds should never collide, the two fall in love and Alexis must choose either her pretentious friends and family or being part of Daniel’s world.
