"Bad Medicine" is a great read.  The hero and heroine are just the way I liked them.  The heroine is beautiful and headstrong, but vulnerable.  The hero is dominant, jealous of the heroine, and totally in love with her.  I also liked the Curandero twist to the story.I have discovered a new favorite writer:  J.D. Faver.  The books I have read from this author have an under-lining theme (independent from the plot) THAT I REALLY, REALLY LOVE.  In her books the hero is the one totally into the relationship, easily able to admit his love for the heroine,with no commitment issues.  The heroine is beautiful and strong, yet emotionally damaged, and not ready to commit.  It is wonderful to see the hero, trying to win her over, and doing most of the hard work.I also love that Faver's stories, empower the heroine.  So many romantic books have a pathetic heroine (even when she is beautiful) who is overshadowed by the  dashing, physically perfect hero, and if not for him she would have no man in her live. I like it that the Ms. Faver's heroines have options for male attention/companionship.  In her books, she allows the heroines to shine (even when they are emotinally damaged, or economically challenged)  It makes you feel that the hero is lucky to have her, rather than the other way around.I usually do not like it when the hero is about the same age as the heroine (I like him older), but in this case, it had to be, after all they were high school sweethearts. And this fact did not detract from my enjoyment of this fantastic book.
