The best part of this book is the fact that it has the same characters as the first story, NEVER LOVE A LAWMAN. However, this wasnt nearly as strong a story as the first.

Dr. Cole Monroe is going no place in his current position in New York; Whitney, his sister, realizes this and decides to do something about it. She manages to find Cole a new job as Reidsville, Colorados town doctor.

One of Coles first jobs is to meet all of the outliers folks who live away from town but who may need a doctors attention. Many of those folks who live out of town do so for a reason; they tend to shoot first and worry about the consequences later or not at all.

Fortunately for Cole, that no-account Beaty boy, Will, accompanies the doctor. Cole has no reason to realize that his visit to Judah Abbott will change his life but it does.

It seemed a bit odd how well Ryan fit in the doctors household with her background. I wont say any more about this point, but felt it weakened the story for me. Ryan simply didnt have enough experience or role models to be assured of her role and yet she was.

Dont get me wrong, it is a story that kept me busy turning the pages and Im glad I read the book. 4 stars
