Features & Highlights

  • Dr. Bennett Anderson accepts a short-term contract at a rural medical center to fill the gap year before taking the high-profile job she’d put on hold while chasing a dream that had slipped away. In a deep-rooted community where everyone seems to know everyone else, Ben is an oddity―a stranger just passing through with no plans to build any ties. Courtney Valentine is looking for a woman exactly like Ben―smart, sexy, and not in the market for anything serious. All she has to do is convince Ben that sex-without-strings is the perfect pathway to pleasure. What could be better?

Enjoyable storyline

As usual it was a good story from this author. But I missed the tie-ins with previous characters. I guess I like books in a series to really feel like the series and less as their own independent read. Still all in all well worth the cost and the read. I will continue to read this author and books from this dedicated publishing house.

Enjoyable story

‘Pathway To Love’ is the latest in the Rivers Community Romance Series. I’ve enjoyed the series and I’m always keen to be back with the characters. In this book Dr. Bennett Anderson joins the hospital as the new head of the Sports Medicine Department. With no plans to extend her stay beyond a year, she doesn’t want any ties in her romantic endeavours either. Dr Courtney Valentine is intent on learning as much as she can in her chosen profession , before settling on a specialty. And she wants no-strings in her love life. Will they be able to stick to their goals, or will romance have other ideas?

The thing that stood out was just how much was packed into one day in this story. The meeting between Ben and Court was just the start of a very busy day, full of drama and intense feelings. I liked both characters, and as with every other Rivers novel, I loved getting to spend time with the Rivers family and the staff in the hospital. I loved the medical elements of the story, and it is obviously true to life and expertly written, coming from a real-life surgeon . The romance did work for me but I was surprised at the pace. I can certainly believe they would fall in love quickly, but the ending was abrupt and I would have liked another chapter or two – even an epilogue. A good story.

I was given this ARC for review.

Love all Radclyffe books.

Love keeping characters in this series. Wish more of that from other books I’ve read them so many times that they are like family
