All of Me by Heatherly Bell

All of Me: Starlight Hill secret baby medical romance (Starlight Hill Series Book 1)

1 Star

The life of a small town resident is always under a microscope.  For Ivey Lancaster her hometown of Starlight Hill never completely forgave her for leaving their favorite son Dr. Jeff Garner.  They’re both back. He’s working as a resident in the ER and she is trying to set up a Midwifery program.  They’re forced to work together to put forth a proposal to the board for the Midwifery program.  Secrets will be revealed and the town will have a say in their relationship.

This had one of the few tropes I hate.  The secret baby.  If it weren’t for this trope the book would be rated differently.  I also had issues with the midwife who trained Ivey talking about her medical information with some random guy.  Yes it was Jeff and they were sleeping together but there is such a thing as HIPAA and she would have had to follow that per California regulation.  In addition to all of this Jeff never really defended her to the people in town.  He broke up with her because he was freaking out over life.  Instead of being honest with everyone about how it all went down he laid low and let her be the bad guy.  There were issues with their relationship they never really addressed.  The writing itself was good and it moved smoothly but I didn’t like the story or the characters.  I will probably try the author again because the writing was their just not this story.
