Been There Done That does NOT read like a debut novel of the author - what it reads like, is a heartfelt, emotional and richly written as well as a swoon - worthy romance with a character driven plotline that leaves you wanting to know more about this quirky family and their HEAs!
Dr. Zora Leffersbee is a devoted professional and an independent woman - a woman on a mission to better the system of healthcare - a strong, resourceful woman who has closed herself off from romantic entanglements even if she is "engaged" to the town's playboy & Deputy Sheriff, Jackson James - yes THAT Jackson James (Gawd! I *NEED* this man's HEA, especially after a little more personal look at him in this book!).
A high school sweetheart who left her high and dry is the last person she expects to see standing in the doorway of her office, but there he is, looking far better than he had any right to be; Nick Armstrong.
On the other hand, since we actually open to Nick's perspective; it is a lot more easier to empathize with Nick and his emotions; (even if there were time when just *NEEDED* Zora and Nick to just kiss already!) - a subtler version of the alpha heroes we get, he took the cake when it came to charm, and his oh so obvious adoration and support to Zora!
The emotional connection as well as the physical attraction between Zora and Nick just leaps off the page - you just can't stop reading till the next scene between Zora and Nick; and before you know it, you reach the end of the book; and your heart is full of *ALL THE FEELS*!!
And since this is the FIRST book in a whole new series in the Pennyverse - and that sneak peak in the epilogue has me all excited for the next of Leffersbee Siblings HEA! *evil grin*
