I also enjoyed the dialogue about immigrants, and how they’re sometimes treated. That connection between characters is probably my favorite part of reading Heidi Cullinan. They saw each other and felt an initial physical attraction, which grew emotionally over time until they were in love. When I was reading The Doctor’s Secret the progression of Simon and Hong Wei falling in love felt natural. I feel it in my gut, and it was exactly like that for Hong Wei and Simon. She has an ability to take a two men who are strangers, and make me believe they’re ready for a forever commitment in the end. I much prefer a slow burn, with a more open ended ending. Happily Ever After books generally start off with the couple not knowing each other, yet somehow in the end they’re ‘forever’, and that tends to feel unrealistic to me.
