I would read the phone-book if I was told Melanie Milburne wrote it but to be honest I haven’t read many of Melanie’s medicals so I was super excited to be lucky enough to receive Flirting with the Socialite Doc, which just happens to be a 2 in 1 with Lucy Clark, His Diamond Like No Other.The Australian Outback, always a fabulous setting for Romance is home to Zach, Jerringa Ridge's local Sargeant (who had me at hello by the way). He's returned to Jerringa Ridge with his broken heart in tow and to help with his father's recovery after he suffered a nasty accident. Love is the absolutely last thing he has on his mind.Lady (yes, a Lady) and Doctor Izzy Courtney has arrived in Jerringa Ridge, the first of her six one-month locums she's doing in outback Australia, the complete opposite of the world she comes from in England and we first meet her worrying about what on earth her best friend from afar has organised for her birthday. When Zach walks in, in his uniform, Izzy panics. The last thing she wants is a stripper and demands Zach leave. This had me in hysterics!During the course of Flirting with the Socialite Doc we learn by Lady Izzy has become a Doctor, why she's trying to move far away from her rich English life. We find out why Zach's got a hardend view of the world and we watch as Izzy and Zach thaw and and notice each other.With the overseeing of Zach's father and with town folk accidents Izzy and Zach work together quite closely and the two go with it. Mixed in with that are the lovely townfolk and as with all great outback stories the characters involved are full of depth. I really liked Zach's Dad, a proud and stubborn man and I loved watching the relationship build. I really enjoyed the towns folk who popped up in the story but most of all I loved following the development and growth of Izzy and Zach's relationship all the way thru to the will-she-stay-will-she-go moment.I spent a lot of time smiling during this story, I laughed and I almost cried. I really enjoyed all the characters, the medical moments and the warm feel good feeling I got when I finished.I love the "Dear Reader" parts at the beginning of books written by the author and in this one Melanie shares how she's writing this story while on a tour bus out in the outback. How amazing that such a setting helped Melanie dream up Zach and Izzy.You can be guaranteed with any Melanie Milburne stories to have a great read, the words and story flow and you’re always sad to reach the last page, Flirting is no different. Don’t go past if you’re a Medical fan or a Melanie Milburne fan, or any romance fan really :)
