The Doctor Wears a Stetson tells us about Jessie Kincaid who has always had a crush on Cameron McCade. She was an innocent 15 year old when she went to the prom with Cameron, and she realized she loved him. He had feelings for Jessie too but wasn't changing his plans to go to college and become a doctor.  She was heartbroken when he left town without saying goodbye. Jessie tried to forget about him and went on with her life working as a mechanic in her father's garage, got married, then widowed. Things were fine for her until Cameron came back for his mother's birthday party 17 years later. When they met again they were still very attracted to each other but Jessie tried to stay away from Cameron because she promised her dead husband to do a few things which prevented her from getting together with Cameron.I thought Jessie was an odd character and she was hard to like. I understand that she didn't date and didn't have a mother but she did have other female role models growing up. Her innocence was a bit extreme.  And her constant way of thinking up why she couldn't do stuff was annoying. She blamed herself for everything that went wrong ANYWHERE which was irritating. Cameron was pretty self centered at first but became a likable character about half way through the novel. The characters really didn't appeal to me.  I also found it unbelievable that Jessie fell in love with Cameron when she was 15 and still loved him 17 years later even though she hadn't seen or heard from him during that entire time.I liked the story line of a couple finding each other again after many years apart. This was an enjoyable book.
