I found this story to be quite interesting, and, to acknowledge its about a doctor, who found that there was a home where he could practice his medical degree and where the town would help him for staying five years to write off most of his educational debt.It was a fun read, maybe to some people, things like this never happen, but in the real world they do, offering someone a prize to help with their college debt.To some this might be a predicable story, but then again, I presume that being its a m/m, m/f romance some individuals either don't believe or don't know how to dream.The characters were interesting and to know that we have in a small community, not only heterosexual folks but some gay folks as well, and like so many today, gay folks no matter how acknowledged we all are, there are still people in the world, who don't understand who we are, they don't want to learn, they keep a close mind about the lives of gay people and the struggles that they have to accept, whether they want them or not.In this story, we meet an individual who is a ranger who just happens to meet the doctor, who has a flat, and being in a small town, helps him change the tire.Neighborly thing to do, to a stranger, we can think of different scenarios that could have happened, but in this case it was a nice friendly gesture.Then the new doctor meets his Director and the rest of the staff.I remember this is a story, and for some might be light reading but still I found it to be an enjoyable one; books are written to be read, I find at times I find a book that I didn't quite find interesting to continue or to complete, but, for others it may have been something that the reader enjoyed.I feel at times, when we review and criticize the works of an author, we should put ourselves in their shoes, and ask what did it take to put words to paper to develop a story.  I am not a creative person in this area, other areas, I am, and enjoy what I do.  To the author, they may be new at their new adventure, and maybe their first book wasn't their best production, but we all do learn as we grow, or at least we try to learn as we grow.I cant think of anyone, myself included, who on their first try really got it right.  As we write, do photography, sew, we all get better at what our craft is, and some of our best authors today, may have had flops in the past, but if we are to criticize then provide constructive criticism, because as I said not every book written is for all of us.  If you don't like a book, then say it, i.e. not a book for me, but don't criticize it based on the author for misspelled words, or MS word should have been used better; or the vocabulary, wasn't on track.  Most of us went to school, some got through college and still don't know how to spell, or write a proper sentence with a noun and a verb, but we don't criticize them, we help them to be better at the English language.  I at least hope we do.I pick up ebooks to read, because of the synopsis of what is written, not always why someone wrote a review, I don't always write a review on a book, just my prerogative, then again, I have found some reviews where I purposely bought a book based on a negative review.  I liked the synopsis and wondered how the reviewer could have come to that decision.
