The Doctor Falls for Her Gargoyle by Cate Dean

From the Kindle World of Kristen Painter, this is a story that takes place in Nocturne Falls, the town that celebrates Halloween year round so that paranormals can live openly.

Instant engagement. I liked the characters immediately and felt their pain, empathy and embarrassment. Yes, very average and standard feelings everyone shares at times. These are not the perfect people. It's the working class. And it's us.

Minor detail. A lot of interaction with Lidia, the neighbor that's not wholly explained. To read more of that background, read The Witch Rescues Her Werewolf, which is Cate Dean's first Nocturne Falls Universe kindle world book.

Excerpt:
“She glanced up at him—and her heart skipped. With his dark blonde hair falling over one eye, and the sheepish grin, he looked like an oversized teenager. A gorgeous, incredibly sexy, oversized teenager.
“I need to know everything in order to help you. Got it?”
“Got it, Doc. Is the lecture over?” Humor edged the question, so she knew he was teasing her.
“For now. Go and make an appointment.”
“Thank you.” He paused next to her, and laid one hand on her shoulder. “I mean it. I’ve been more than a little freaked since this happened.”
“I can imagine.” She sounded remarkably normal, considering her heart threatened to pound right out of her chest.
Endless seconds later, Elias let go of her and walked out. Sophie managed to make it to the chair next to the door before her knees gave out on her.
“Heaven help me,” she whispered.
Her hands shook as she lowered his file to her lap. She had an idea that any contact might affect her; she had not been prepared for the absolute need that roared through her the moment his hand touched her shoulder.
How was she supposed to function around him, when he set her off with a simple touch?”
