Heatherdale’s Shy Nurse by Abigail Gordon is a simple romance based on a small rural town with a country feel. It is about Leonie Mitchell who loves children but has been denied the right to have her own after the miscarriage of her baby. To deal with her loss she throws herself at work, saving her little patients in a new countryside hospital. But Leonie hasn’t counted on the unexpected attraction to her charismatic new boss, 
surgeon Callum Warrender.
Could he be the key to healing this shy nurse’s broken heart?
The characters in this story meet during an medical emergency which happens at the begining of the story. Leonie is the sister in charge of the orthopedic section and Callum has just returned from US. Leonie had been betrayed by someone before and had even lost her baby. Therefore she was not ready to make any commitment.
The medical details were interesting and well incorporated in the story. The romance was simple, traditional and slow paced. Both Callum and Leonie were likable characters and it was a delight to read how they find their way towards a HEA.
The slow pace of the romance was a problem for me personally especially when it took a really long time for Leonie to finally open up completely to Callum.
Overall, Heatherdale’s Shy Nurse by Abigail Gordon is a sweet, traditional and slow pace romance with likable characters.

I agree with you that while the medical romances are good they sometimes are slow, but its nice that the medical terminology is well researched.
