Three years ago, nurse Sindy Carruthers returned to Bunya Junction wounded, wary and shamed by a relationship gone wrong. Welcomed home by her family and supportive community, she now manages the local medical practice and enjoys her newfound confidence. She’s perfectly happy on her own, until a blast from the past in the form of Ryan Flanagan appears.

Dr. Ryan Flanagan—renowned plastic surgeon to the stars—heads to Bunya Junction to pay his last respects to the man who opened his heart and house to an abandoned boy. Ryan’s no fan of Bunya Junction or the harsh judgments of some of the townsfolk, so he’s stunned to discover that his old mentor has bequeathed him half a general medical practice—hoping he’ll stay on and serve the community. The other half of the practice now belongs to the beautiful Sindy Carruthers, his closest friend’s twin sister.

ARC received for review

3.5 stars

I enjoyed it, but not as much as her Operation Alpha series.

Dr Ryan comes home to say goodbye to his mentor, and meets up again with someone he never gave a chance. Sindy liked him to, but he has to work his way back into her good graces (along with the town he left behind). Several misunderstandings and stupid mistakes later there is a HEA

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

I enjoy books from the land down under and this was a fun read. The only issue that I had was trying to like Ryan. I realize that he had a rough upbringing but then he was saved by this great guy - a doctor. So, when Ryan won't ever come home to visit and lets years go by without seeing his mentor, only to have him die, then you feel like smacking some sense into him! I also didn't like how materialistic he had become and yes he did some pro bono work but really - plastic surgery??

Sindy was easier to like and when Ryan started to get over his materialistic nature, it was a better read for me and I could enjoy it more.

Great HEA and got into the book more towards the end!

I was so excited to receive an ARC of this book. I love Nicole Flockton's books. Once again, she did a great job with the start of this new series. This book was a well written story that packed an emotional punch. It left me feeling warm and fuzzy and excited to read the next book. I very much enjoyed Sindy and Ryan's journey toward find each other. Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with this book to read and review.

Riveting small-town romance!

Ryan leaves his career as a big city plastic surgeon to rush to the bedside of his mentor, whose dying wish is for Ryan to take over his local general practice clinic. Even more surprising is that he only inherits half of the practice - the other half goes to his childhood best friend's twin sister, Sindy, who has worked there as a nurse ever since she came home a few years earlier.

Fight it though they may, their fierce attraction and the life-and-death pacing of the job they share catapults these two into a steamy relationship, despite what the town might say and despite the other plans they each had.

The story was instantly captivating, and while the end is known right from the start it's still an engrossing read with fascinating characters and a delightful small town community. I read it straight through in one sitting and loved every bit of it. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Loved the story line and the location. A lot happened to them (separately of course) before they came back home. Too bad there wasn't a story for them before this book cambe out. You get the gist of the book when you read it. A lot of old hurts to reconcile with and make amends. HEA.
