With the exception of the female main's unusual career (she is a professional fundraiser for hospitals), I felt like I've read this book a million times before.  Charity has a strained relationship with her father because she refuses to talk about the source of her hurt.  He wasn't around enough when her mother was dying, instead pouring himself into his work.  I'm sure that when they finally talk about the issue in subsequent books, he'll reveal that it killed him to see his wife die despite his medical skills and that's why he avoided the situation and instead poured himself into medicine.  It's astonishing that an educated woman, in our pop psychology age, couldn't put two-and-two together and instead just cuts her father out of her life.Anyway,she comes back to her father's hospital to help him with a fundraiser (the hospital is named after him, which is kind of weird, right?) and meets his super-sexy chief, Elijah. Will they find a way to be together despite the fact that . . . well, nothing is keeping them apart, really.  I mean, they live in different places, but she's rich enough to fly to see him every weekend, so I'm not sure what the suspense is.The editing in this book was very rudimentary.  I also suspect that the author may be from the UK -- characters have a "row" and bartenders greet female customers as "love."  It wasn't terrible, just distracting.
