Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

The sequel to Silken Love continues the story of the Crawford family, picking up the thread many years after Eric Crawford turns the financial advisor, aspiring singer, and young widow Lauren Michaels' happy life upside down. The handsome doctor and his family embrace his new wife and her daughter, Shayla, who has graduated from Atlanta's Emory University medical school and is ready to join her father's practice. At 25 Shayla is a spoiled and self-absorbed brat, and to punish her for a party that got out of control, and to help her develop into a responsible adult, Eric exiles her to Alberta, Mississippi. The rural medical center is owned and run by Doctor Jake Parker, and sparks fly when he and Shayla meet. Both Jake and Shayla want to provide medical attention for the city's poor, yet they go about the task very differently. As they learn about each other's strengths and weaknesses, however, they realize that with or without riches, they want to be together. Lillian Lewis

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved it!, May 3, 2002

Shayla Michaels Crawford is now in her twenties. She has lead a life of what some would say of a spoiled brat. Her father Doctor Eric Crawford feels he gave her too much. After a irresponsible incident on Shayla's part he sends her to work in a clinic in the boondocks. Shayla is resentful at first, but finds the small town of Alberta Mississippi and its people a wonderful place to be.

Shayla meets the handsome doctor that runs the run down clinic Jake Parker attractive. He thinks she's gorgeous, but they couldn't work because he was poor. The attraction remained and finally neither could over look it.

The Crawford family has been one I've followed over the years. Shayla is introduced in Silken Love the story of her biological father Eric Crawford and her adoptive mother Lauren Michaels. I was interested to see what Shayla would be like as an adult.

She was spoiled as a kid and I suspected she would be spoiled even worse as an adult. Carmen did a good job at rounded Shayla into a respectable, reliable doctor. She was still spoiled but learned some important lessons about life, responsibility and love.

Carmen Green is definitely one of my favorite writers. She can tell a great story,make you laugh and cry. My favorite Carmen novels are: NOW OR NEVER, COMMITMENTS, SILKEN LOVE.

If you have not read Silken Love, please read it before you read Doctor, Doctor. It will give you insight on Shayla's character.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved it!! 4 1/2 - 5 stars, September 25, 2004

This review is from: Doctor, Doctor (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)

In this book Ms Green delved into the lives of both main characters; however, it was not so much that it told everything at once. She was able to portray the lives of both characters as lovable, dedicated and tenacious doctors and I truly believe that's what made me read it in 5 hours. The only downside is that I wish she had developed the male character a little more. With this being the first book that I have read from the author, I cannot wait to read more by Ms Green.
