Katrina Gregory is determined never to get involved with a colleague again.  Rhys Morgan doesn’t think he is capable of loving relationships.  However, the attraction between the two of them is unmistakable, even as their very different perspectives clash.  Can Katrina and Rhys find a happy medium for the love blossoming between them to flourish?

THE CHILDREN’S DOCTOR’S SPECIAL PROPOSAL is a sweet story that shows love growing and maturing.  Kate Hardy doesn’t pressure her characters into falling in love but instead allows it to develop naturally.  THE CHILDREN’S DOCTOR’S SPECIAL PROPOSAL is a love story in its purest form.  The relationship between Katrina and Rhys is the central focus of the story without any other distractions.  This technique allows the reader to really focus on the emotional impact of the storyline as Katrina and Rhys have to do some very weighty soul searching.

Kate Hardy also tackles a very sensitive subject in THE CHILDREN’S DOCTOR’S SPECIAL PROPOSAL.  Katrina has a hearing impairment but it doesn’t stop her from being one heck of a doctor!  Her past relationship has left her with fears about her hearing, but Kate Hardy shows another perspective through the eyes of Rhys.  One scene in particular involving a cello is especially romantic.

THE CHILDREN’S DOCTOR’S SPECIAL PROPOSAL is just as the title promises.  Kate Hardy delivers a superb romance that resonates beautifully with the reader.  Bravo, Ms. Hardy!
