Review: Special Delivery (A Romantic Comedy) (Kindle Edition)
Author: Traci Hochenstein
Amazon Description:
Meet Dr. Hope Love. She’s a beautiful, single doctor who delivers the babies of Hollywood's hottest stars. Her perfect, glamorous life is turned upside down when her father, a retired doctor and her partner in the practice, hires Dr. Brad Whitford to assist Hope in the ever-growing medical office. Hope doesn’t want or need the new guy—until she begins to fall in love with him. Her best friend, Venus Vanderbilt, is a best-selling romance novelist and should be able to offer good advice—but Venus is traumatized because she suspects her husband is having an affair. When Hope learns that Dr. Olivia Campanelli, a renowned heart surgeon, already has her trained eye set on Brad, she realizes she might have missed her chance with the new doctor. Can Hope juggle a successful medical practice and win the man of her dreams?
Special Delivery is the first novel in the Hollywood Hill series. It is approximately 33K words and is what I term a "novellini". Perfect, delightful story for those who want to read a light, funny book while at the beach, or in the tub with a bottle of bubbly, or snuggled up in front of the fire sipping hot cocoa. Enjoy!

Review:
A cute story with really no substance. Hope is a rather typical heroine-smart and successful, she is of course single and approaching 35. The plot is simple-Hope's father adds another doctor to their practice and he is of course smart and handsome. Hope begins to develop feelings for him rather quickly and finds that she has some competition from another doctor. The ending is of course predictable.
The biggest qualm I have with this book is that the romance isn't developed-like many romance novels, after the couple falls in love or starts dating the book jumps to marriage. Very unbelievable. However, I treated the book like what it is-something to pass the time while you're at the beach or so. 3 stars because it's readable and cute but nothing substantial (aka character development, plot) here.
