About the Book
She planned on falling in love. Just not with him!

Emma Everhart's life is going according to plan. Finish nursing school with flying colours… Check. Get a great job in the ER… Check. Marry a handsome doctor and have two babies, three years apart… Not quite yet. But with a dreamy new doctor joining the hospital staff, she's so close she can almost taste the wedding cake. Now is not the time to let the tall, dark and flirtatious paramedic Charlie Fletcher distract her! He may be the best date and best kiss she's ever had, but he's definitely not part of her plan. No matter how he makes her feel…

My Thoughts
I absolutely adored The Best Laid Plans! I was immediately drawn into the story and couldn't get enough! After reading The Better Man, I enjoyed picking up with Emma and seeing her fall in love. I will admit that she drove me a little crazy at times because she was so focused on "her plan." But through her nuttiness, she was really sweet and kind and had a lot of fear over her future . . . something I think most people can relate to. Charlie was a wonderful character as well. He was so genuine and really cared for the people around him. Add in a bit of romance and a few tense moments, and it was a wonderful story!

As I read the last pages, I closed the book . . . a bit sad that my journey with Emma and Charlie was over, but deeply satisfied. I can't wait to read the next book in the Chicago Sisters series! [4.5 stars]

I received a free copy of this book from the author through Prism Book Tours and Net Galley in exchange for my fair and honest review.

About the Author
Amy Vastine has been plotting stories in her head for as long as she can remember. An eternal optimist, she studied social work, hoping to teach others how to find their silver lining. Now, she enjoys creating happily ever afters for all to read.

In September of 2012, she saw a tweet about Harlequin’s So You Think You Can Write contest. She entered, hoping for nothing more than a little feedback from some people in the business. Amazingly, The Weather Girl made it into the semi-finals, thanks to the many wonderful voters out there! The manuscript didn’t make it to the finals, but the editors over Harlequin were still interested. A few revisions later and The Weather Girl was contacted for publication with Harlequin Heartwarming – a dream come true!

Amy lives outside Chicago with her high school sweetheart-turned-husband, three fun-loving children, and their sweet but mischievous puppy dog.
