Old Maid by C.L. Cruz
4.0

I loved this! Old Maid has tied with Blabbermouth for my "best of Juniper Creek" books. I adored both Mae and Graham. The chemistry was there. The book managed to pull off being both very sweet and pretty damn sexy.

Mae is a great heroine. Great career, good friends. She's all but given up on dating due to her bad luck, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have a full life.

Graham is the grandson of Juniper Creek's doctor. The older Dr. Cooper has died, and our young Dr. Cooper goes to Juniper Creek to clean out his grandfather's house and office. He wants to sell everything and get back to his city and his job as an ER doctor.

Does this read like a Hallmark movie? Okay, it totally does. But that doesn't mean it's not worth the read. I'm not even a fan of Hallmark movies, and yet I still loved this one. I'd definitely recommend this one if you're looking for a short, sugary read.
