I quite enjoyed this story.  It has a good building romance but with enough curve-balls thrown in to add to the sense that the reader does not know how it'll come out.Kyle Roberts is a very realistic male character.  He's a heart surgeon, and therefore is somewhat married to his career.  I liked how giving he was to Elisha....once he realized how needy she was.  He's HOT, he's rich enough, and he is sensitive.  What's better than that in a man......nuttin' honey!Elisha Aragon is a very complicated woman.  She's the product of a very lonely childhood and tends to wear her lack of childhood happiness on her sleeve.  One thing I appreciated about her is her utter candor.  She says what she thinks and thinks what she says.  In other words she is an open book - take her or leave her.  She has that matter of fact attitude as well.  What I did not like about her is that she tended to remind people how lacking her upbringing was - lacking in love and attention that is.  She's wealthy and an heiress.  I enjoyed knowing she wanted to use her wealth to better the world.  She's also a registered nurse and became one in order to help those in need.Once Kyle and Elisha establish a loving relationship; that's when the conflicts arise.  Kyle is focused on his career and the development of a product to help surgeries.  He has a five year plan and a committed relationship is not part of it and he feels he has no wiggle-room for exceptions.  He finds out however, that there is wiggle room for a woman such as Elisha since he does fall deeply in love with her.  Elisha, having been fairly alone for so long is very focused on her causes - that of bettering the world.  Her one main cause is helping those in Africa who need medical care.  She travels for big chunks of time and the first time she has to be gone for a month - the problems between her and Kyle start to arise.  Elisha is also extremely headstrong - she's a tough and driven heiress - one of those who speaks before thinking too heavily about something and then later on thinks it over and changes their mind.Well; romance does flourish and the issues do work out.  That is until the final problem that drives them apart for several months.  I felt so bad for Kyle because clearly his heart had been broken.  The character of Elisha is more restrained so she doesn't wear her heart on her sleeve but instead keeps her heartache inside because that is how she has always dealt with emotional turmoil.  She's a tough cookie..Elisha is.I'm happy to know that they do get their happily ever after.  It was a very nicely rounded romantic tale.  I also enjoyed the characters of Reggie (Elisha's best gay friend) and Augusto who is Kyle's best friend).I thank the author for the copy she sent me to read and this review is mine alone to give and it's as honest and true as my reader's thinking can make it.
