Doctor's Orders is the third book in the Moore Sister Series. Ann B. Harrison gives April the dreamer, the scatterbrain of the family her very own HEA. She is not as scatterbrain as her father may think, more of creative personality who see potential in some many things. The doctor in question, David Morrison is a conservative, classics lover type of person. What matters most, their core values are similar. The opposite attracts trope work since the opposite is more in personality than beliefs.
April and David are engaging characters in a plot that is paced smoothly. The focus in on the couple but family plays a large part. As supporting characters, they round out the small-town story. There is also a small subplot going on with David’s mother. I found this to be pleasantly surprising. Doctor's Orders is a friendship to love as much as it is an opposite attraction story. It is also one of recovery from loss, and learning to risk love again.

I guess I have been reading and reading and reading some more, because I was not familiar with this author and I did enjoy her so she goes on the list of people to read. I was a little bummed that I found out that this was the third in the series, I mean I still enjoyed but I hate coming in mid way, that being said we meet April, the youngest of the Moore sisters, she is the earth child or hippie as some say not a rule follower or someone who tends to have their act together. She opens up a flower-decorating store in Cherry Lake, and no one really believes she plans to stay and she is set out to prove it. Right next door is Dr. David who has taken his father's practice since his dad passed away, he and April are total opposites and that is one of the little things that bugged me not that they were opposites but that he continued to say how much they were and he was a "bachelor", you and I both now that does not stay that way...So my friends grab a copy and Enjoy!

Enjoyed it

April Moore is the youngest of the Moore sisters. She is a flighty, hippie chick who has decided to start a flower/decorating store in Cherry Lake. Dr. David Morrison has taken over his father’s medical practice in Cherry Lake after his father’s death. Their first meeting has them literally running into each other. Then, coincidentally, the shop and the medical office are next to each other and share their break room. David keeps telling anyone who will listen that he is a “confirmed bachelor”, and that he and April are just too different. April has decided that she needs to help David lighten up and enjoy life. This was a cute premise, but the characters fell a little flat for me. This is a cute PG rated romance. I was given an ARC this book by NetGalley for my honest opinion.

Can opposites attract and stay together? That’s the premise of this novel and, since it’s a romance novel, you know the answer. April is described repeatedly as a hippy-looking chick. Apparently, she’s had trouble deciding what to do with her life, but now she’s settled by opening up a florist/gift/decorating store in a small town in Montana. There she meets the uptight doctor in the neighboring space, Dr. David Morrison.
David is still wounded from his former girlfriend and he doesn’t think that this colorful sprite of a woman is the one for him. But he’s still attracted to her. And she goes after him. She’s frank in telling him that she’s interested in seeing where their attraction can lead.
To tell the truth, I wasn’t all that interested in seeing where it could lead. Neither of the characters did much for me. I was just waiting for them to figure things out. I couldn’t help wondering if they would have been interested in each other if they didn’t have neighboring businesses and keep running into each other in this small town. It all gets wrapped up pretty quickly which was good because I didn’t find either of them interesting enough to care whether they worked it out or not.
I was given a free ARC of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
