REVIEW: The Maverick Who Ruled Her Heart by Susan Carlisle

The Maverick Who Ruled Her Heart by Susan Carlisle is the second part in Heart of Mississippi series and it can be easily read as a standalone. Kelsey Davis is a nutritionist in Golden Shores, Florida. She is well liked by everyone and has a good life but she is planning to leave Golden Shores and move on for a fresh start. She is waiting to hear from an Atlanta hospital so that she can finally leave her hometown and past behind.

That is, until Dr. Jordon King arrives back in town. He doesn’t remember her and, worse, he’s even more deliciously sexy than ever! Kelsey is falling for Jordon all over again—but once she uncovers the truth that links Jordon to their painful past, can she still allow him to rule her heart…?

She straightened and narrowed her eyes. “Why should it matter to you why men hang around me?”
“It doesn’t.”
“Then why mention it.”
“Because…aw hell…” Jordon grabbed her and brought his mouth down to hers. It wasn’t a tender kiss but one born of frustration. The entire day he’d thought of kissing her. Had watched her smile at all the men. Now was his time to have her complete attention. Force her to really notice him.

The Maverick Who Ruled Her Heart by Susan Carlisle is a well written medical romance about two individuals desperately trying to forget their painful pasts and finally move on with their lives. Jordon and Kelsey are well matched and share a good chemistry. This makes their romance believable. Kelsey is the wild child of the family and has an outspoken nature. Some may find her attitude to be a little harsh at times but I think she was an honest character who said what she felt. Jordon is an admirable hero because he does not give up easily and I loved him for having the power of perseverance. He also handled Kelsey pretty well and he deserves full points for just that.

Overall, The Maverick Who Ruled Her Heart by Susan Carlisle is a well written medical romance with interesting medical details and an enjoyable story.
