The Doctor's Convenient Marriage

By Lauralyn Keller

Book Overview

She wants the freedom to practice medicine, and he needs a wife. But their bold escape from Boston's high society rests on a marriage vow neither intended to make real.

Victoria Mountbatten has fought hard to earn her medical degree, but her powerful father uses his influence to block any doctor from hiring her. Faced with an ultimatum-marry a society gentleman or face disinheritance, Tori sees only one path to freedom. She makes a bold proposition to Dr. Harrison Blake, a colleague she's worked alongside for years: a plan that will take them far from Boston's stifling society.

Harrison Blake has always dreamed of building a hospital in the untamed West where he can truly help people. But his inheritance comes with a catch-he must marry before his thirtieth birthday. So even though Tori's proposal is shocking, a marriage of convenience may be the perfect solution for both of them.

In the quiet moments of Harmony Springs, feelings grow and lines blur. Can their partnership blossom into true love, or will the walls around their hearts destroy the fragile trust they've built?

Heartwarming Conclusion

This is the third book in the Second Chances in Harmony Springs series and brings everything to a conclusion. Take a step back to Boston in 1889 when women doctors were not readily accepted where we meet strong willed Victoria as she is trying to acquire a job after graduation. Difficult situations lead to difficult decisions that can be life altering but just maybe can turn out for the best possible outcome. When she and her friend Harrison go through with a marriage of convenience and travel to Harmony springs we get to see our old friends from previous books and feel like we are a part of it. This author has a way of drawing you into her stories and the characters lives and you don’t want to leave. The story flows and contains so many emotions as you endure the heartbreak, difficult situations, and joy as you read. I love the realistic characters and how they face circumstances with faith and determination. I really enjoyed this book and series and am sad it had to end. I highly recommend adding to your must read pile. I received a complimentary copy from CelebrateLit/author. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.
