review 1: WHAT A VERY CUTE STORY. I totally enjoyed this story. You really get to run the gambit of emotions. Sadness, frustration, anger, happiness & joy. There is a whole lot to laugh about that is for sure.

Then, when his endearing letters stop coming & he never calls she thinks she was nothing more this doctors convenient lay. So, she goes full board on becoming the best Peds doctor she can be when he turns up at her hospital. Let the good times roll...! babies in the bargain
