Description:
They were in it for the fun, but never expected the storm…

Life for hometown ER physician Dr. Max Lange has always been sweet. He loves his job and is dialed in socially with his family, friends, and community. But lately, something feels like it’s missing. When a visiting doctor pulls him in for a hot kiss and asks him to play along in order to avoid unwanted attention from a hospital administrator, Max knows exactly what he wants and needs—the lovely Dr. Mitchell.

After a tragic error shakes her confidence beyond repair, Dr. Lauren Mitchell has abandoned her career in cardiothoracic surgery and instead works as a lead medical consultant for a top cardiovascular technology company. She enjoys her simple life on the road—hotel rooms, room service, and no emotional entanglements.

When a violent storm throws her into service at St. Mark’s hospital, Max has only a few days to prove to Lauren that they belong together, while she must reevaluate her career…and her life. Will Max’s love be enough to make River’s Edge and Max her home?

Review:

Falling for the Doctor by Nan Reinhardt is the 2^nd book in her The Lange Brothers series.  I really enjoyed the first book in this series, and happy to say Falling for the Doctor was just as great.  We meet Lauren Mitchell, our heroine, at the start, when she is discussing her consultant training on the new cardiovascular technology that the hospital purchased.  Lauren notices that the administrator is making her uncomfortable with his attention.  She notices a handsome doctor walking into the cafeteria, with kind eyes, and immediately jumps up to greet him with a kiss; Lauren whispers to him to please play along.

Dr. Max Lange, is an ER physician, living all his life in River’s Edge, and happy in the job he loves, and being with family.  When a strange woman gives him a kiss, Max happily returns the kiss, and finds himself attracted to Lauren, as she is to him.  A slow build romance begins, with Max learning all about Lauren, and her famous doctor father and grandmother; as well as why she no longer does surgery. 

Lauren walked away from surgery when she lost a young patient, and decided to be into a safer job, as a consultant and technical advisor to train doctors and nurses using cardiac surgery equipment. As their relationship escalates, Max tries to convince her to return to practicing medicine, using her excellent abilities.  When a tornado hits the town, Lauren is asked to help at St. Mark’s hospital, and finds herself in a past similar situation that will change everything. Max also pushes for Lauren to stay at River’s Edge, as he loves her, and they could work together, with her resuming her career.  Will Lauren be able to move forward, and stay with Max?

Nan Reinhardt gives us some wonderful secondary characters that were so likable, making this story even better.   The atmosphere of this small town was wonderful, as everyone helped one another.  What follows is a sweet wonderful romance between a great couple in Lauren and Max. 

Falling for the Doctor was a terrific story, that was very well written by Nan Reinhardt. I look forward to reading the next book in this fun series.  If you enjoy pure fun, enjoyable romance, wonderful couple, and great secondary characters, then you need to read both The Valentine Wager and Falling for the Doctor.
