Great storyline and character development made this book a hot and enjoyable read!
Extremely entertaining, captivating and interesting sexy read. I could not put it down. Wonderfully written with strong, intriguing characters. I want to read more from this author.

Jenny and James work perfectly together.

James is a skilled doctor and surgeon, who for his own reasons, has decided to make his home in Willowbrook rather than stay in London where his expertise would gain him accolades. Jenny is the local healer and midwife since the town has had no physician. She is the perfect contrast to James and his modern healing methods. He has had no knowledge of the ancient healing arts that Jenny uses and starts out as one would expect disavowing she can do anything to make a difference in healing.

I love the introduction of Jenny and the alternative methods of healing and caring for patients in the medical world. Jenny is a beautiful soul who cares about her patients and wants to help all under her charge. The two form an instant bond and through working together, and treating people together, their attraction becomes a deeper connection. As always, Laura Landon brings her characters together, gives them a pull to one another, just enough strife to know they don’t want to be without the other, challenges to overcome, and a wonderfully, sweet HEA to make the story an easy and quick read. I was captivated from the beginning and through to the end. While A Bitter Pill to Swallow centered around the main characters without bringing in those from the previous books in the series, I enjoyed the other people Jenny and James helped and worked with. I’m looking forward to the next installment of the Willowbrook series. I received an arc from NetGalley, and this is my honest review.

From the description of this book I was expecting Jenny to have had to do more to convince James to stay in Willowbrook. And then at the beginning I was expecting her to have to do more to convince him that what she did with her herbs and home remedies deserved his respect. But it turned out James was already happy living in the small village and was open minded enough to consider her remedies. He was even excited to teach her his more modern medical procedures. It was clear pretty much from the moment she started to help him at the practice that they were perfect for one another. From there the story moved along pretty smoothly. The typhoid outbreak offered some drama/adversity. Also from the description I thought Adelaide would have played more of a part throughout. But instead we didn't get to meet her until it was clear she wouldn't be any competition for James's affection. She did try to cause some trouble, but James and Jenny were able to reconcile pretty quickly. This book lacked the action and high stakes of the previous books in the series. That works for this book, it was just a bit of a departure from the previous stories.
