However, it is not always sunshine and roses for the cast of characters.

United by Emily’s brother Peter on the island, this is a heartwarming story where both can shine due to their medical skills while getting to know the people and each other.
Heartwarming epilogue too, though I wonder how they will continue to travel with their new life...
256 The Courage to Love Her Army Doc by Karin Baine is a medical romance from Harlequin.
The heroine, Dr Emily Clifford is a dedicated medical professional who has been oversensitive about her birthmark all her life because of a bad parent. Her failed marriage makes her even more emotionally scarred. She seeks refuge at a beautiful Fijian island where she takes her medical skills but is surprised to find another doctor already there. Dr. Joe Braden has his own personal demons to fight.
One of the hallmarks of the book is that it is thoroughly researched. The medical and cultural backgrounds are firmly blended together to form a realistic picture. I liked the portion about dengue and what the author put in as dengue remedies because the disease and the remedies are quite prevalent in India and shows how much thought author has put in the research.
Emily is vulnerable yet strong. Damaged hero Jason is worth drooling over. Read more at
