I really enjoyed The Doctor's Medicine Woman by Donna Clayton. My enjoyment of the story was only made better by the fact that Ms. Clayton has truly done her research on the Woodland Indians. As an author and reader of Native American stories, I found the NA background done well. And the characters' relationship was believable and poignant. What more could one ask from a romance? I also loved the relationship between the children and their new father. Very nice!

This review is from: The Doctor's Medicine Woman (Paperback)

This is the second book in the single doctor dads series. Dr. Travis Westcott wants to adopt two Native American twin boys. Being part Native American himself has helped his case with the counsel. It also didn't hurt that he helped play a role in seeing that they got the medical attention they needed to save their lives. The counsel, however, worries about him taking the boys away from the tribe. They believe he is ignorant about the ways of there people and the boys will suffer by not knowing and understanding their heritage. The counsel has agreed to let him adopt the boys, but Travis must allow the tribes medicine woman to live with him until she believes the boys have a good understanding of their culture. Travis never expects to fall for her, but when they are together sparks fly.

I was disappointed because I felt that the story was centered on the thoughts of the characters and rarely on their actions, interactions, or conversations with each other. I also felt that the author was building up to something important and than just tossed it in at the end of the story. I got to the last page and I thought, this can not be the end. The story was okay, but I felt it could be a lot better.
