I've read books by this author before, but none in this genre. The story is well written, the plot is interesting, the characters are complex and well developed, the dialogue is good and witty. There is a good amount of humor to be found in the supporting characters as well and a fair amount of sensuality without having too much graphic sexuality.Dr. Dan Chadwick is a loner research scientist used to following rules and methods. For five years he has received a private grant to work on curing an understudied infection. This year he finds out that his donor is considering another project as the grant money recipient. That project is run by Grace Lighthorse, half Irish/ half Ojibwe massage therapist, who wants to use the money to provide handmade comfort blankets for seriously ill children in hospitals.  Dan believes in research and hard scientific data.  Grace believes in the combination of medicine and alternative healing and body work, and in the power of positive thinking to help raise spirits and help immune systems heal. Philosophically,they couldn't be further apart. But the administrator of the grant requires them to work together for three weeks, each to help the other and see what the projects are all about, and then to decide between themselves who should get the money, as legally it cannot be split.As they work together, Dan and Grace find that there's more to the other than lies on the surface, and they also find a very deep attraction that just won't go away. They learn from each other a few truths about differences, fitting in, the true nature of family and the definition of love.Heat factor moderate.
