I really enjoy Jill Blake's method of storytelling. After reading this book, I actually feel more knowledgeable about the tech world as well as the medical profession. I really liked Ms. Blake's first book, Pursued by the Playboy, so I was glad to get the opportunity to read her second book in the Doctors of Rittenhouse Square series, Taking a Chance.Samantha Winters is a primary care physician with a lot of heart. She takes great care of her patients and expects them to follow the medical advice she provides. After the settlement of her pseudo malpractice case, she decides to take a break from her primary practice position in an affluent section of Philadelphia, and look into other options to share her medical expertise.  She finds herself accepting a short-term position in an urgent care facility in the small town of Oakridge, Pennsylvania.Alex Kane is a successful businessman that transformed his braininess into a multimillion dollar conglomerate. He grew up in Oakridge and now his company is its largest employer. Alex's foundation owns the urgent care clinic in town. In addition, he raised his sister's kids after her death. So needless to say, Alex is a hard-working and dedicated man that believes in family and giving back to the community.Sam and Alex are attracted to each other from the moment they first meet during Sam's interview. They fall for each other quickly and completely, however, a few obstacles must be hurdled in order for them to have a happily ever after.This is a well-written, intelligent story that I enjoyed very much. I am familiar with Philadelphia and as a result, I felt a kinship with the story when landmarks, restaurants and street names were mentioned. Ms. Blake creates likeable and smart characters that are fun to read about. The plot moves along at nice pace, which allowed me to think about some of the situations the characters were involved with. Overall, a solid read.
