The Amazing Doctors of Oak Bluff: Book 2
Publication Date: May 9, 2025
Save the Date! for the second heartwarming and humorous book in the Amazing Doctors of Oak Bluff series…coming soon in e-book and print.
How do you know who is the right one for you?
Dr. Samantha Bashar has made a terrible mistake—she let her rocky professional relationship with Dr. Caleb D’Angelo become personal – and accidentally ruined his chances to win back his first true love.
Coming from a proud line of matchmakers, she can’t let that happen, no matter how much she dislikes him. Or the fact that she doesn’t believe in true love for herself. Plus, Caleb is her best friend’s brother. And they’re in the same wedding at the end of the summer – oh, yay.
Dr. Caleb D’Angelo isn’t trying to make enemies…call him a romantic, but he’s just trying to take his chance to see if The One Who Got Away is the right one for him. While avoiding the woman who is T for Trouble at every turn—even though she “feels bad” and is determined to “help him” no matter what he says.
Except the more Samantha helps Caleb, the more his sworn enemy turns into something completely unexpected—she’s funny and kind and very kissable—and Caleb must decide if the One for him isn’t from his past at all—but is the person who’s been right in front of him all along.
Take Me To the Wedding is the second book in the Amazing Doctors of Oak Bluff series by Miranda Liasson. Not having read the first book, I was immediately drawn into the book’s premise and felt like I was among friends.
Caleb and Samantha are the lead romantic couple, telling the story in alternating chapters. This contemporary romance had an enemies-to-lovers story arc, with many layers, conflicts, work issues, family, and friends.
The couple’s friends’ and coworkers’ wedding was the backdrop for much of the story and provided additional storylines. The different threads were woven together nicely and had a good flow. Most of the characters were likable, and we gradually got to know the main characters. There were vivid descriptions of the various locations, especially the outdoor scenes.
At times, the communication between some characters was lacking, and Sam needed to open herself up to love and believe she was worthy of it. She and Caleb gave each other balance, and their relationship grew as they got to know each other better. I like the way he listened and knew what she needed before she did. There is closure, and I look forward to meeting up with these characters again in the next book in the series.
Take Me To the Wedding is a sweet contemporary romance with compassion and understanding that leads to love after Sam and Caleb discard their hateful feelings toward each other.
