There was a time when Dr. Emma Sinclair wanted to challenge herself, sharpen her medical skills by plunging into the relentless pace of a New York City ER. But she was younger then. Now she’s not that much older, but at least she’s wise enough to jump at the chance to run her father’s clinic for a summer in the Sierra Nevadas. Here she treats bee stings, stomach flu, and the occasional pet cat. She also contends with patients like Stone Wilder, laid-back and well-aware of his good looks—and irritating beyond belief. The man laughs at her. And Emma loathes him. Partly because she can’t resist his smile and the gleam in his eyes . . . As co-owner of Wilder Adventures and Expeditions, Stone knows when he sees a fish out of water. He also knows how to put it back in the water. When he tries to help Emma loosen up a bit, he pictures white-water rafting or scenic mountain hikes. He never bargained for a much more intimate encounter. Still, Emma’s sure she has no place in a town like Wishful, but Stone knows different. Emma belongs here—in this town, in his life. Convincing her is a challenge he was born to take . . .

Mature content: yes
Review: I had this book on my shelves for years and somehow only managed to read it now. Even if it feels a bit outdated (not the story itself, more the style of writing), it's still a story that will at least leave you with a smile on your face.
I wished for a bit more character dept, as I feel both Emma and Stone had more to give to the plot, and maybe a little less predictability, but overall it's a fun, no-strings attached romance and if you love the genre you may want to give it a try. Yes, Instant Gratification is part of the Wilder Series (book 2), but I read book one a long time ago and never got round to book three, so I read Instant Gratification now almost as a stand-alone and had no issues with it.
Happy readings!
