In addition to the two main characters, the book has a host of secondary characters who add flavor to the story. The clinic receptionist, Salome, has a penchant for clothing two sizes too small and lipsticks in shades never found in nature. There were plenty of other personalities that gave the book, and the town, its personality. Just What the Doctor Ordered is Leigh Greenwood's first book for Silhouette, and the first contemporary from an author well known for writing historical romance. As I read the book, I enjoyed the fine writing style.
Greenwood has a wonderful way with words, and knows how to bring the characters to life.
However, I really had a problem with Matt. The man seemed to have such a chip on his shoulder. I had almost given up on him by the time he got an attitude adjustment. What a man. About the time that Matt had his epiphany and began to reveal all those wonderful redeeming qualities, it was Liz's turn to have a few crises.
