Sage is a medical school student who is presented with many options for her residency program, one of those being in her hometown. With a little encouragement from her grandmother, Sage returns to participate in the hometown hospital's residency program to find Dr. Spence Whitman at the helm. Sage had a crush on Spence when she was young, but after offering herself to him, he rejected her and she was heartbroken and embarrassed. His playboy reputation was known, so the interest Spence appeared to show didn't seem possible.

4 out of 5 stars.

If you like romance this is the book to read! The characters are a strong connections and a well thought out story plot. Enjoyed reading this one!

All Sage had was her grandmother after she lost her parents and her grandfather and she is on her way to get her residency at different city until her grandmother's health was a concern. So she decided to come back to Montana to be closer to her grandmother and do her residency. She never knew she would meet her high school crash so soon.
Dr. Spence Whitman's life is in Seattle. He is well known surgeon and he frequently flies to Montana hospital where his family is.

He was adopted with other brothers to Whitman's household and had everything he needed growing up. Now everyone is back to in hometown and trying to live a life but small town living isn't easy.
Sage can't believe she faced her biggest crush Spence and she thought she outgrew her crush but whenever he is around she can't think straight.
Now Spence sees Sage in different light and he wants to get to know her but Sage won't give him a time of a day and he would do anything to get a date out of her.
Sage is book smart and spend all her time getting to where she is but one thing she still haven't had her first time yet. Now everyone is rooting for them to get together except Sage. Will she finally give into Spence?
It has lots of angst between Sage and Spence.
Elders are meddling and it seems to work.
Thanks to Netgalley and pocket books for ARC in exchange for honest review.

Lovable characters take front stage in the second of the Unexpected Heroes series. The bond of family is strong throughout and it’s a joy to read. Hard won romances are sometimes the best and the building sexual tension make for an intense story with a satisfying conclusion.
Summary:
Now that Dr. Spence Whitman sees how happy his adopted family is in their married life, he sees that it’s time to settle down. Spence grew up appreciating money, yet knowing money isn’t the most important thing in life.
