This book was a lighthearted quick and easy read. I really enjoyed the characters and the humor throughout.

The cover more then anything is what made me want to read Could be Something Good. This was a really fun enemies to lover romance. It was fast paced and I think the characters were written really well. I definitely would recommend.

"You should get to choose your own adventure in life, choose what giver your life meaning."

Meet Daniel, a doctor from a family of doctors. He is doing his residency in a small town Timber Falls. He is also a huge superhero fan (just my kind of McDreamy)

Meet Winnie, a nurse/midwife in the same hospital and also Daniel's supervisors daughter. She needs a date for her wedding cause her obnoxious ex will be attending.

This is a small town romance, with side characters who you'll fall in love with. The banters, the relationship development, struggles in the book, character interactions all are not only wholesome but also cute, fun and just my kind of romantic.

The best thing about the book is its representation which involves older woman younger man, dyslexia, a parent death, single parent household, difficult relationships between parents and their (grown up) children, and a little bit of mention of autism (which will be in length covered in next book). Also can we take a minute to appreciate that cover, its such fun.

And the side characters Kyle and Ainsley will probably getting their own book, which I am super excited about.

Thank you Fiona West, Net Galley for this book for an honest review.

Could Be Something Good was a quick, cute, and fun read. While it started out a bit slow, it definitely picked up some steam as the story progressed. I'm an absolute sucker for workplace romances, especially when the love interests work in fast-paced, competitive environment, like medicine or law, as they do in this book.

I thought the relationship between Daniel and Winnie developed really well over the course of the novel. Inevitably, romances that take place in hospitals and doctors' offices always tend to have a sort of Grey's Anatomy feel to them, but I think that Fiona West kind of owned it and made it her own. But if I'm being completely honest though, I found Daniel and Winnie's romance to be a little too insta-lovey for my tastes--insta-love is one of my least favorite tropes in the romance genre, and I go out of my way to avoid it when I can--but the dynamic and banter between Daniel and Winnie was fresh and snappy enough that I was able to partially overlook the insta-love vibes I was getting from them.

Also, I just have to state, for the record, that I didn't like how Daniel was younger than Winnie. Full disclosure: I'm only a fan of age gaps that go the other way around. And yes, I am aware that that's kind of a sexist way of thinking. I'm sure that many other people will actually like that the guy is younger, but I am not one of those people and I can't control my cavewoman preferences. Sue me.

All in all, Could Be Something Good was surprisingly good--far better than I went into it expecting it to be. It's a perfect quarantine read, and I'd recommend this book to anyone who needs some cute, rom-com escapism during these trying times.

This book was so cute! I loved how it involved a doctor and a midwife (I've never read anything like that before). I LOVED Daniel! He was so fun loving and sweet. I loved the romance in this book, it was fun and flirty. I loved the happy ending.

Winifred Baker loved her job as a midwife. She is very serious about her work, but when a cute doctor starts to make a pass at her at her new hospital, she doesn't know what to think. Daniel is nice and good looking, but he's sooo young. She's afraid of what others will think if she gets involved with Daniel. All that changes when she needs date to a wedding. She decides to take Daniel so she doesn't have to face her ex alone. She soon starts to develop feelings for Daniel. Will she take a chance with him?

Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC!

This was a cute story! I absolutely loved Daniel! He was hands down my favorite character of the book and I looked forward to the parts that were in his perspective. He was just fun, there’s no other way to describe him! As far as Winnie, I didn’t love her. We rarely got to see a lighthearted version of her. I read her to have a negative tone. One of the biggest hurdles that the romance goes through is the age difference between Daniel and Winnie. Winnie seemed like she was so much older than she actually was, which was in her early 30s. Parts of the romance seemed very one sided and then almost insta-love.

Towards the last forth of the book, a new element is added into the plot. It made the flow of the book a bit off. There were also parts that were potential set ups for other books with the introduction of new characters but the way they were placed in the story seemed random.

The ending was so sweet (when Winnie is helping with the birth). It was probably my favorite part of the book!

Overall I think it was a cute story but fell flat at times. I wasn’t engrossed in the book as much as I like to be.

What a cute, genuinely lovely & beautiful story! While I can't say there is much 'plot' in this story, this is also what makes it so endearing because it is the fabulously well-drawn characters that steal the show and keep you enthralled with their antics throughout. Loved this story - the perfect happy sigh type of read

I thought the premise was interesting but sadly it did not deliver. There was insta romance going on, and I didn't feel the characters and their relationship was believable or well developed.

West’s Could Be Something Good is a lovely and sweet story of two medical professionals that delves into social and emotional topics. For me this was a great pick-me-up book that I knew I could get through quickly and enjoyed quite a lot! I did feel that the medical aspect of things was a little weird and over written but otherwise I really liked pretty much everything that this book brought! Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a soft and sweet love story with good plot and nice side characters.

I want to thank Net Galley for this ARC provided to me. I thought this book was a cute, quick read! I always enjoy a little tension between characters which ends up fueling the spark even more. Winifred and Daniel have a fun relationship and I wanted to read more to find out where things were going to go! I felt the ending was a little rushed but overall I did enjoy the story and the characters quirks about them each. Timber Falls reminded me of a hallmark town with the love and gossip that comes with those quaint towns.

This was a quick read that I found really enjoyable because it didn't fall into the mold of all other contemporary romances. Literally, every contemporary romance has this rise, rise, rise, crash, make-up, the end. I won't spoil why it didn't fall into that mold, just that it was such a refreshing take on this genre.

I loved Daniel's persistence, I loved both his and Winnie's capabilities at being honest, I loved having a sloppy grin on my face the whole way through. This is the start of a series - it looks like its a series where there are common characters but they can each be read as standalones. We get Ainsley and Kyle next and I'll be putting that on my tbr. This was certainly a great start to the series - I really like Fiona West's way of telling a story.

Could Be Something Good by Fiona West is about a small town of Timber Falls, Oregon, where Winnie Baker works as a midwife at the local hospital. Also working at the same hospital are Dr. Daniel Durand (a new resident), his brother and father, along with Winnie’s mother, all of whom are physicians.

The story centers around Winnie and Daniel, their budding romance, both attempting to make their own choices rather than abide by what their families want for them, and standing up for themselves. Winnie has recently gotten out of a bad relationship, and is dealing with her overbearing mother insisting she go to medical school instead of working as a midwife. Daniel is a first year resident, has dyslexia, and often feels like a disappointment to Winnie’s mother, who is his supervising physician at the hospital.

The book tackles a few topics, such as age difference in a relationship (with the male being the younger of the two), toxic relationships and their effect on self-esteem, and living your own life. It is still a very light read, and one I enjoyed! The characters are cute, but I thought it was odd that the small town was strangely obsessed with them. There are definitely funny bits in this book, and I liked the graphic novel bonding… the book also made me want nachos constantly.

In the end, I give this one 3 stars!

Could Be Something Good was a quick page turner. I liked both the main characters with their portrayal of real life issues such as midwife nurse Winnie, who has pressure from her doctor mother to further study in medicine and change her career path and Daniel, a doctor struggling with dyslexia. My only gripe with this book is how fast things moved between the two. It got to the stage where the flow just became a little too unrealistic. All in all though, it was a light fun book.⁣

This is the first book I have read by Fiona West but it certainly won’t be the last because I really enjoyed this sweet romance. Dr Daniel Durand and Winnie Baker are a couple you can’t help loving and Timber Falls Oregon is a Place I’m sure we would all love to visit. This book is about instant love with an older woman, this story also touches on a subject close to my heart, dyslexia, and I have to say this author tells Winnie and Daniels story with compassion and humour. This is a fun, entertaining read with lots of witty banter, I was captivated from the first page to the last line and I loved the characters. A quick read that packs a mighty punch that I recommend to all romance lovers, small town romance and stories based around family and friends.

Ugh. I hate doing this but...DNF at 23%. I really did think that this book Could Be Something Good, but it was simply lacking. Daniel and Winnie didn't draw me in with their characters, and there was an obvious lack of chemistry written into the story. I always feel silly saying that when it comes to a romance book but....I've learned that the words can be there and yet the heat won't always be, and that was the case here. There was just something about every character that fell flat. I'm usually a sucker for small town romances, but this one just missed the mark.

Thank you Net Galley and the publisher. I have enjoyed reading this. Love it so much! Wonderful storyline and great characters.

I used to be a romantic at heart, then Life happened and then I was bitter and thought that love and romance didn't really exist and I was not positive towards romance books. Then I decided to read "If I Never Met You" and realized that contemporary romance wasn't the horrible thing it once was. So I decided to read another contemporary romance, saw this available and requested it.

And LOVED it!!!!

I'm not sure if I can list ALL the ways this rang my bells, but I will try. I thought at first this was going to be Ainsley and Kyle's story, as they obviously had a THING, but was surprised it was going to follow his younger brother Daniel and her roommate Winifred. That somewhat disappointed me, but I got over that quickly, as Daniel and "Fred"'s story was so good! I was immersed in the characters, what they were thinking, feeling and the secondary characters were all introduced in a way that made them all feel real and not just cardboard cutouts.

Props to the author for Daniel having dyslexia and his family being so supportive and helping him to reach his goals in becoming a doctor. I haven't read many books where that is something a character has to struggle with.

I also loved how Daniel was YOUNGER than Winifred and how that was something she was struggling with. That felt realistic. I don't know much about the medical field and working in a hospital, but it didn't seem unrealistic to me, so that didn't kick me out of the book.

I may have read this too fast to get much of the setting, but I was able to pick up on the fact that it took place in the Northwest of the US, in what seemed like a small-ish town. That was the vibe that I got at least. Granted, I personally didn't need much in the way of that detail, as I was so wrapped up in the characters and their story.

There is some kissing and you know they get physical, but it's not on-page. So some steam, but not in-your-face. I liked that. I'm still new to the whole romance book thing and didn't want it to go too Fifty Shades too fast.

Seriously, this was the right book at the right time for me and it helped me to realize the first book wasn't a one-off of the genre of contemporary romance for me. I have also read the second book in the series and loved it as well. So this is not a one-hit wonder folks! We have an author with writing chops here and I will be promoting this series at the store to all of our romance readers.

Nothing less than 5 stars for this sweet, funny and heart-felt romance.

My thanks to NetGalley and Tempest and Kite Publishing LLC for an eARC copy of this book to read and review.

I absolutely loved this book. It was such a fun story, though I would have liked to see the relationship developing between these two a bit more in the beginning. But I still really enjoyed it.

This book was so adorable! I loved every thing about this book, the characters, the romance, the relationship between the characters. I loved that it was set in the medical field also. This was a nice pallet cleanser I guess you could say and a nice getaway from everything. Im also excited to check out more from the author and would definitely recommend this book to everyone! Thank you netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read this for an honest review.

This book was a fun escape. I enjoyed the age difference and the medical field setting. I thought the book was written well with great dialogue between the characters. I really enjoyed the book, but give it 3 stars because it is a bit cheesy at times. It also seemed like the 30-something character was still an 18 year old with the way her mother treated her at times. I enjoyed the book enough that I would like to read the next book in the series.
