The Doctor’s Unexpected Family is an awesome romance set against a hurricane’s aftermath! This well written story grab my interest from the first page and kept me reading far into the night. Ms. Ethridge does an awesome job of portraying life without any of the daily necessities. Angela, a congresswoman, and Pete, a doctor help the residents of Angela’s district obtain medical care and a place to live. This book is a fascinating look at how individuals can improve life for many. I have read it twice because it is so inspiring.
I’ve enjoyed this book so much that this is my second time to read it. I was gripped by all of the challenges facing the main characters–challenges presented by rebuilding after a devastating hurricane as well as the challenges that came as a result of personal tragedy. For all of the tension caused by their circumstances, the characters are meeting them with hope and growing as people. I loved the romantic love story as well. Highly recommend!
Welcome to (or back to) Port Provident, Texas, post Hurricane Hope where the residents continue to find strength in friendship and community as they face the challenges of moving forward and restoring some sort of stability to their lives in this heartwarming second book in the Port Provident: Hurricane Hope series. Although it is part of a series, this book works well as a stand-alone. This easy-to-read, uplifting story of hope, renewed faith, and love caught my attention at the dramatic beginning and held it to the satisfying end. The characters are well-crafted and credible, and the plot flows smoothly at a steady pace. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the next one in the series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book but am under no obligation to write a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
It was a very good read. Really brings into perspective how people react to tragedies and what they go through.
This series has been hard for me. I’ve seen up close and personal the results of a hurricane and Kristen Ethridge has shown perfectly the lows and highs of the aftermath. Angela Ruiz takes her commitment as a city councilperson for the one of the more needy areas of Port Provident, as a single mom to Celina, and to help with her family’s business completely to heart. To the point of neglecting her own health. Since the hurricane Dr. Pete Shipley has been marking time until he starts his employment with Mercy Medical Mission and leaves for a foreign country. Hurricane Hope makes adjustments to everyone’s plans and hopes. I look forward to see what is planned next for Port Provident.
We are back in Port Provident, Texas. This time after in the aftermath of hurricane Hope.
Lives are changed forever, material losses are monumental, but City Councilwoman, and single Mom , Angela Ruiz, is determined to do whatever she can to take care of her community and help everyone re-build their lives. In the midst of all this, a friendship develops between her and Dr. Pete Shipley. A man that has not allowed his heart to get involved in Port Provident, and is now waiting for his papers to work in a mission outside of the United States . As he waits for the orders to leave, he too wants to help the community.
These two are a bit hard to embrace . Maybe because they are trying to protect their hearts.
That said, it’s a Christian story about hope , overcoming obstacles, and opening one’s heart . As well about the love and strength of those around you. Quoting the author , “you can never have too many people in your life who care about you”.
I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
