Someone recommended the author Robyn Carr (or maybe it was the "If you like... then try.." list at the library). I only found one of her books at our local library, so I checked it out. Just Over the Mountain is a sweet contemporary romance. 
Here's Amazon's description:
"Welcome back to Grace Valley, California, where the best things in life never change . . .
"Here in this peaceful community, folks look out for one another like family, though sometimes a little too well. In a town like this, it's hard to keep a secret -- though Dr. June Hudson has managed to keep one heck of a humdinger . . .
"Though visits from her secret lover, undercover DEA agent Jim Post, are as clandestine as they are passionate, somehow it fits with her demanding schedule as the town's doctor -- a calling that requires an innate ability to exist on caffeine, sticks buns and nerves of steel.
"But how can a secret lover compete with a flesh-and-blood heartthrob from her past? June's old flame has just returned to town after twenty years -- and he's divorced. June is seriously rattled. So when the town's most devoted wife takes buckshot to her husband and some human bones turn up in her aunt Myrna's backyard, she's almost happy for the distraction.
"Sooner or later, love will have its way in Grace Valley. It always does."
It was a sweet book, but I doubt that I will read anymore of Carr anytime soon. There's nothing wrong w/this book; it is just a little boring & predictable. Also, I didn't realize it was the 2nd in a series. It would have been better to read the first one first!

Boring and predictable...not entirely what we enjoy. I just started a Nora Roberts, second in a series, thinking I had read the first one. Wrong. To the library I will go...
That word verification is VERY annoying.
