Kara Isaac brings us a new story full of twists and turns.Dr. Donna's books are climbing the charts as readers soak up her advice on relationships. However - Dr. Donna isn't actually Donna. Rachel Somers and her aunt, Donna Somerville, have a plan and so far it has worked - Rachel writes the books, while Donna is the face of it all. Although the fear of being found out lies beneath the surface, the charade must be kept up to pay for Rachel's dad's medical care. However, they didn't quite factor in the challenges of bringing on a late night radio host on their tour. Who doesn't like to see things shaken up a bit? 

Lucas Grant, late night sports radio show host, cannot get women to stop calling in to ask for relationship advice. Even better, the ratings go way up when Dr. Donna is his guest! When their producers book them to do shows together, Lucas grudgingly accepts. After all, this isn't what he signed up to do and he is just on the cusp of getting his dream of a big time show after getting a call from a hot shot LA producer! But it comes with a catch; Lucas must expose any secrets Dr. Donna might be hiding. His best chance? Befriend her assistant, Rachel. But as he tries to win her over, Lucas realizes he might be losing a bit of his heart in the process. 

Both Lucas and Rachel have some past hidden hurts and must learn to forgive and move on. While we loved the character growth in one of them, we found the other to be lacking. Faith was not a big part of the story until the end and we would have liked to have seen it develop more throughout the entire story. We must also note that there were several comments about homosexuality that didn't add to the story and were unnecessary to the plot.  The story does keep your interest very well and there is a nice depth to this it, but we felt overall it deserved three stars because of these two concerns.




Note: We were given this book in exchange for our honest review.
