Smitten with the boss! With her debut novel, Therese Beharrie takes us on a journey of overcoming past hardships in order to find their forever! This book had a fairly strong cast with good development. The conflict drug on a little and it could have done with a little more passion in their journey towards happily ever after, but it kept me wanting the rest of the story and overall was a enjoying read! Strong first showing!

The White Sandy Reservation needs a doctor, and Madeline Mitchell needs to do a little good in the world. It seems like a perfect fit, until she meets the medicine man, Rebel Runs Fast. As far as Madeline can tell, Rebel’s sole mission is to convince her patients that modern medicine can’t help them. And the fact that he makes her heart race every time he looks at her only irritates her more.

Rebel swore off the white man’s world–and women–years ago. But he’s never met a woman like Dr. Mitchell. She doesn’t speak the language, understand the customs, or believe he’s anything more than a charlatan–but she stays, determined to help his people. He tries to convince himself that his tribe doesn’t need her, but when patients start getting sick with strange symptoms, he realizes that he needs her more than ever.

Note: This book was previously published as Mystic Cowboy

 

They come from two different worlds, but it doesn’t take long for them both to be yearning for forever! The setting is rustic with an underlying sense of despair as an illness runs rampant through the reservation. They race against time to figure out what it is and how to help the tribe while at the same time easing into a relationship that they both realize may never be able to work out. The core characters have a steamy hot connection and their supporting cast help complete the homey feel to the cast and keep us wanting to learn more about them in the series future. I really enjoyed it!

Doctor Madeline Mitchell might not fit in on the White Sandy Reservation, but she’s determined to be the help this tribe needs in medical care. Many have come and gone before her, so people are skeptical about the new white doctor. They have more faith in their own medicine man, and he’s not one to blindly let them accept her way of medicine.

Rebel Runs Fast is keeping her on her toes for sure. He’s friendly enough and helpful when need be, but there are certain things that he makes sure his tribe refuses to let her do in treating them. He knows she doesn’t exactly believe in his ways, but they are both going to have to overcome their stubborn attitudes and work together when the mystery illness becomes more dire!
