Doctor Know by Mel Walker

5.0

This is the first book that I have read by this author. I will definitely have to look into his catalogue of work. This was not a quick read, but I devoured it in one sitting.

Cynthia was not my favorite person at the beginning. Unpleasant people irritate me. Gender doesn't matter. I have no patience for unpleasant people. I could understand her lack of trust based on the environment in which she worked. The sharp responses to simple comments was unnecessary, but that's my issue, lol.

I was surprised at her reaction to the phone call and the events she subsequently had to endure. I really expected her to be calm, cool, collected, and clinical. I thought her vulnerability was a nice touch.

I loved Simon's character. He had a gentle air that did not diminish his masculinity in the least. It only served to enhance his strength, calm, and inner peace.

I did like Simon and Cynthia together. It felt like they were healing one another. There was a sensual aspect to their relationship that seemed to be an underlying factor almost from their first meeting.

I also appreciated the boss move Cynthia pulled at the hospital. She made one statement that was a dead giveaway as to what she was planning to do. Kudos! I thought that was impressive.

I liked the way Cynthia seemed to come into her own once she left Baltimore. I would have been interested to read about her mother's reactions to the changes in her life. I would give this book 4.5 stars.
