Private Practice by Samanthe Beck

The Premise
Dr. Ellie Swan wants to open her practice in tiny Bluelick, Kentucky, so she can keep an eye on her diabetic father, and make hometown golden-boy Roger Reynolds fall in love with her. But she thinks that Roger is into an “adventurous” partner, and she...isn’t. Tyler is known as nothing but a good-time boy, and he’s pretty tired of it. He’s trying to shake that image, but first - he needs Ellie to get a bullet out of his behind. Then he makes a bargain with her - he’ll teach her how to be a wild woman and she won’t tell anyone about the shooting. But that doesn’t mean he can’t get Ellie to look beyond Roger and see what’s standing right in front of her….
The Good
Really good chemistry between Ellie and Tyler had me glossing over any flaws and enjoying the ride. Tyler is a decent hero who is into Ellie and all her quirks, and Ellie reminds me a bit of one of my fave characters from my soap - she’s so focused on getting Roger, that she blinds herself to everything else. That kind of focus can be frustrating, but entertaining. Especially when Tyler gets under her skin.
The Okay
Ellie’s just this side of Aspergers - she’s very rigid, and hard to get into at first, but she loosens up and I always liked her dorky ways.
The secondary plot with Roger and his ex-fiance wasn’t explored, but I could see that as a separate book.
The Bottom Line
I liked it and I’d happily read more from this author.
