Dear Love Doctor

Summary: The "Love Doctor" prescribes lots of heat......
Review: .....and the temperature soars when gorgous, man-eating, Daffy Landry and the wealthy love'em & leave 'em, Hunter James are paired up by Daffy's twin sister. These two are notorious for leaving broken hearts in their respective paths. Will they do the same to each other? How do they avoid falling head over heels for one another when they can't even be around each other for more then 5 seconds without wanting to tear clothes off of each other? The chemistry is so hot between these two, I advise only reading this book if you have a spray bottle of cold water near at hand and are prepared to cool yourself down with it. I enjoyed this book so much, that once I started it I didn't put it down except to eat and refill my spray bottle. I would love to see these two characters pop up in future books of Ms. Norths. Get this book, crab a comfy chair (don't forget the spray bottle) and prepare to tune out the world while you enjoy "Dear Love Doctor"!

Summary: Rewarding read.
Review: Daffy Landry is so wounded by witnessing her mother's infidelity she is unable to maintain a healthy relationship. She pushes men away, sometimes brutally, to prevent them from being hurt by her. As a result, she has a reputation as a tease and a bad relationship risk. She has two jobs: one as a society columnist for one New Orleans paper, and, ironically, one as "Dear Love Doctor"-- writing advice for the lovelorn-- for a tabloid. She's pretty good at giving detached advice, but she hits a nerve with one man when she refers to him in her column as "Diagnosis Terminal," a bad relationship risk. No names are used in the column, but Hunter James knows he is the man in the column because of clues in the letter. He goes to the tabloid in search of the Love Doctor but soon forgets his mission entirely when the receptionist is the beautiful woman he had recently seen across a crowded room. This beautiful woman is actually Daffy's twin, which the astute Hunter soon figures out. (The two women affect him differently.) He is enthralled by Daffy and pursues her with great determination. He's telling himself that he doesn't want commitment, but he's serious about Daffy. Her commitment fears force her to keep her distance. She's also afraid of what might happen when Hunter finds out she's the Love Doctor.... These characters wrestle with insecurities and fears that come from childhood. It's fun and rewarding to watch them free themselves from old patterns and wounds.

Review: Hailey North's latest book is even better than the previous ones. If you're looking for a book that will hit both the emotional and funny buttons, this is the one. Hunter and Daffodil are absolutely charming. DEAR LOVE DOCTOR is the ideal prescription for readers who like their romances sexy, funny and heart-warming. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Great Characters, Mediocre Plot
Review: I love the characters, they are sweet, spunky, and extremely apealing. Hunter James is such a great guy you just have to love him. Throughout the novel they were very obviously in love. Taking care of each other and constantly wanting to be together. However there seemed to be no reason for them to constantly be apart, so why were they? It seems to me that they should have realized from the beginning that they loved each other and the book could have been written a lot shorter.

Summary: Lacks Depth and Tension
Review: If not for skimming, I couldn't even finish this book. The characters, for being two who don't want to fall in love, sure act and think like they are in love throughout most of the book. The book is bland. The reader can guess everything that will happen. The premise was good: Hunter was going to find out who the Love Doctor, an advice columnist for a newspaper, was because she wrote something about him he disagreed with and did so anonymously. The Love Doctor was the heroine, Daffodil Landry. But Ms. North left that premise and any tension it could cause at the door, but used it conveniently to neatly tie up the end of the book. The only part I liked was the book cover and blurb on the back, which promised a lot and delivered little. I won't waste money on another of Ms. North's books.

Summary: Too sickly sweet
Review: Reading this book made me want to crack open my chemistry text. It was so sickly sweet I wanted to puke! I never thought their could be too much sex in a book, but in this one there is. Maybe it's because the only scenes the two main characters have together are sexual encounters. Daffodil Landry has no depth and Hunter James is completely unlikely. These two want to be together the minute they meet. I prefer a little bit of banter and substance in a book. ... Take my advice, save your money. ...
