ARC Book review - Dr. Dempsey, (Dempsey’s Follies book 1), bY Grace Maxwell

 



Book Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Book Trope:  Family drama. Long lost love. Re-united second chance love.  

Alaric is a physiological and loves what he does. He is stretched way too thin. He is always working, always on call. His family owns and operates a winery in town. His grandmother - Evie, is a bit of a headache for everyone in the family. Evie often calls on Alaric to vent to him. Alaric just wants to work. When Liz comes back into his life he wants to be with her but dealing with his family the hospital is often to draining on him. 

Evie thinks everyone in town is out to get her. She thinks people are poisoning the water to the vines and she is always blaming and judging her family. 

Liz, has been in Vancouver but recently moved to Paradise to be closer to her brother and his family. She works in hospital administration. She deals with the CEO / and board members weekly if not daily. She’s always looking to see what could be improved at the hospital. 

This book had a good story. But one too many stories got in the way. Internal Family feud, external family feud. Town people against each other. Co-workers against each other. Long lost love. Re-united second chance love.  

I did receive a free ARC copy of this book. I am freely leaving a honest book review.

  Book Rating:  This is the 3rd book in the series, the conclusion of the series. You do need to read the other 2 books prior, as this continues where book 2 left off. We have Leonid, Kody, Frankie and Monty. Monty has opened his home / island to Leonid, Kody & Frankie to live in and recover. The three take the guest house next to the main house Monty is in.  Frankie starts getting text messages and phone calls from a blocked / restricted number. No one is sure who is sending them. Other than she is being watched and the person at the other end knows what everyone in the house is doing. Frankie now has a stalker.  Leonid and Kody seem to be adapting well to living in Sitka and the area.

Then never let anyone touch her, or if they do touch her - they are ready...
