One Night Heir by Lucy Monroe

In One Night Heir, Crown Prince Maksim is about to propose to Gillian Harris, when he receives medical records showing that it would be very "unlikely" that Gillian would be able to conceive a child. After an intense night of passion, he ends their relationship. Gillian is totally devastated, as she believed he was going to propose.

Maks does not believe in love, having not seen it between his parents. While he cares for Gillian and really hated the idea of breaking up with her. But he is also Duty bound, and must produce an Heir. I liked how he was willing to do just about anything to get her back, but was still honest.

Nine weeks later Gillian is in total shock, but totally overjoyed with her surprising news. Deciding to keep her pregnancy to herself until she passes her third month, and the risk of miscarriage goes down. She is very shocked when Maks shows up on her doorstep, confronting her about the baby and asking her to marry him.

While Gillian character is broken hearted, she is also much stronger than maybe even she knew. I really felt a connection to her character. And loved how she didn't drop everything when he appeared at her front door. She was demanding and let Maks know while she still loved him, she would not marry him without a pre-nup to protect her and the baby.

There were a number of things I really enjoyed about this book. The passion between the two. How Gillian reacted when Maks breaks up with her, PRICELESS.

A couple of things I did not enjoy. Maks had not proposed yet so I was not buying the part of the story line where she went to his doctor and he got a copy of the report. And the epilogue, it was a little to brief and really didn't say much.

I received an ARC " Advanced Readers Copy " of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Cowboy Take Me Away by Jane Graves

In Cowboy Take Me Away, Luke Dawson and Shannon North first met back in high school when they started working at the local animal shelter, and an unlikely friendship formed. She was raised in a privileged family that expects the very best from her. Luke came from a house of horrors, son of the local town drunk. Then one night friendship turns into passion, and then hurt. Feeling betrayed Luke packs what little he owns and leaves Rainbow Valley and vows never to look back.

Luke has made a name for himself in the Rodeo circuit and is poised to win the championship. Behind him is the troubled life he had, both as a child and young teenager. Eleven years later Luke has returned to Rainbow Valley to bury his father. He plans to leave as soon as possible, but an accident soon sidelines him. Needing income to make it through his recovery he goes to Shannon for a job.

Shannon North has come from a privileged family but she is as down to earth as they come. She gave up her job as a CPA in Houston and moved back to Rainbow Valley to become director of the animal shelter. And she still struggles with letting her mother influence her decisions. But one thing she has never gotten over is Luke.

I loved this story about second chances in one’s life and correcting wrongs made. I found a couple of times while reading this book it just dragged a little, but other times it flowed so well, I could not turn the pages fast enough. How could you not fall in love with Luke’s character? Abused, judged, verbally attacked and he still found it in his heart to be kind and gentle with animals and children. When he finally tells Shannon the horrors he lived with I could not hold back the tears. I loved how these two overcame so much and found each other again. The story also had strong supporting characters.

Being a pet lover how could you not fall in love with the animals at the shelter. And Luke’s take on how to help them find homes. This was my first book by Jane Graves and I look forward to reading more from this author.

Cowboy Seeks Bride by Carolyn Brown - Spikes and Spurs #7

Reviewed by Desere


For some people the big city has everything they want. Cars and flashing lights in the fast lane, every single piece of modern day living to make your life comfortable and just seem like pure bliss.

For others it is the way they feel about the wild, they would rather suffer through hours of riding in the red hot searing heat on the back of a horse then drive around on the highway in a fancy sports car.

Whatever your preference, everyone is entitled to their own choice of bliss. But when taken out of your comfort zone and thrown into the dark side it can mean you will either adapt and get through it or fall and be ready to beg anyone to bring you back to civilization, especially if the dark side is hotter, wetter and more of a snore fest than the worst of reality shows.

In the new Carolyn Brown read she tells the story of Haley, she is sent on a mission to tag along with some mighty fine cowboys as they embark on a re-enactment of  the historic Chisholm Trail ride. Of course she has no idea what she is actually in for until she falls fancy suit first into a pile of , well let's just say it ain't mud ladies.

But Haley is not the kind to back down she is there to get the information needed to make the best reality show ever and she intends to do just that. What she does not see coming is the fierce attraction she feels for trail leader I'll-make-you-fell-so-good-you-will-never-want-to-leave Dewar.

Very soon they find themselves knee deep in nights of endless passion, but Haley misses her comfort zone and plans on getting back to the big city as soon as the thirty day trail ride is over, after all she has always wanted a man in a pinstripe suit ready to fight it out with the biggest of corporate companies, not some smoking hot cowboy, just ain't her style.

The character of Haley was so much fun! I laughed so hard at her wit and feisty-ness actual tears were streaming down my face!  She gives as good as she gets and does not back down in the face of danger or any knee weakening eye winking cowboy. She falls, she simply gets back up on the horse and tries again. A real fighting spirit. Loved her to bits!

But I will admit the part about her having her heart set on the "perfect pin striped suit wearing man" made me dislike her just a smidgen  I kept thinking that this woman has got some truly terrible ideas about the perfect man, for we all know that we cannot control who we fall in love with and making sure you marry the "perfect man " just as you imagined him will never bring you happiness, you might as well then just marry for the money and not the love.

The character of Dewar was a totally awesome one! I loved that the more Haley shows she is ready and more than able to handle anything the cowboy life brings her way the more he likes to get her rattled up. He is like a joker, always out to get her to loose her cool of course this is before she gets him all hot and bothered and he no longer wants anything to do with cool unless it involves cooling his passion for wanting her in his arms all night long.

I like that he is not only a leader but ready to face danger and best of all he does this while still staying as smooth as any charmer you might have met, this man simply just does not loose it, keeps it all together like a neatly wrapped bedroll.

Dewar and Haley were, although miles apart back in the real world the perfect match on so many levels. They are both the kind to stand up and fight for what they want and they both have a passion for life, never letting the elements of the situation get them down.

The backdrop was mostly on the trail but it involved rain and when I say rain I mean the truly horrific pouring kind that feels like it will never end, blazing hot sun, wind and dust. This all blended in with the wildness of the characters, and brought out the sense of reality is just a few more desert elements away, perfectly.

But there was also moon lit nights by the river side and heart stopping dances by the fireside that gave the read the stunning romance is in the air feeling, bringing forth the love of two hearts beating as one when brought together by the land.

The dialogue was all spikes and spurs the author gave moments of conflict, emotional moments of reality setting in and earth shattering moments of  danger and despair.

The message I am taking away from this read is that what you dream up in your mind to be the perfect life you always wanted never comes close to the reality of true happiness when you are finally offered up the chance to find who you really are deep inside. Your mind tells you what you want but only when listening to your heart will you find what it is you have really been looking for.

I recommend this read for all fans of Carolyn Brown books, lovers of romances that are much better than the best looking chocolate bar when you have been craving it for days. And for anyone looking to read about to people who are more alike then they think, and when brought together sparks of the truly sky falling kind come crashing down to earth and will leave you never wanting to get back up!

A head butting, heart stopping, mouthwatering, sassy and very sexy romance read!

" He romances the city right out of her" 

Billion Dollar Cowboy by Carolyn Brown - Cowboys and Brides #1

Reviewed by Desere


Issues of trust, intimacy, communication, love, understanding you name it the list can go on and on, the truth of the matter is they all stem from one thing, your past.

It can effect your entire future, overshadowing any dreams you might have and hold you back from the life you deserve. Letting go or simply opening up can be the hardest thing you will ever need to do, but when it comes to doing it in the name of love, it opens doors you never knew were closed in the first place.

For Laura that is precisely the case, she comes to the ranch to work off her debt, a debt she only gained by baling her sister out of yet another stunt.

She gets sucked into playing the role of girlfriend to ranch owner Colton, billionaire cowboy, to help him keep the gold diggers at bay. Easy peasy, nope you guessed wrong the attraction between her and Colton is harder to resist than chocolate covered strawberries when your're on a diet!

She gets knocked of her feet by the plain old fashioned cowboy who has the heart of a prince. However she is not the only one that has issues, nope her darling I'll-make-you-burn-hotter-than-the-Texas-sun Colton has his very own set of issues, and with both of them having fears and doubts getting together on a more emotional love-you-forever level seems darn near impossible!

But as we all know this author always has a trick up her sleeve to show just how true love always prevails, and in this read she did so with vivid clarity and told the tale of a memorable couple.

The character of Laura was a real lively one! Fun, feisty, go getting attitude, ready to kick butt no matter what, when or who comes her way. I loved that the author gave her so much spunk, had she been weak and the kind to back down all the time she would not have been a good match for Colton.

Laura is the type of character that is able to push any man when he hits a low point, of course when it comes to her own issues she does not always react with same "Here I go ready to get 'em" spunk but the author shows the reasoning behind this with little flashbacks into her childhood, making it clear to me as reader.  I completely adored Laura and loved every single moment of her showing off her "take me on and eat dust" attitude.

The character of Colton was a real sweetheart of a man, he worked hard till he hit the jackpot, but never does his personality change from use to be poor to now I am so rich I can buy anything I want so therefore I care about nothing, as sadly happens to so many people in real life.

To me as reader this made him the ultimate hero.  I could understand his reasoning behind not trusting people with the whole gold diggers lurking around, and I was actually expecting him to be a more hard and arrogant character because of this.

But instead I got a kind, caring and total angel (okay so not so much of an angel as you're thinking, afterall the man does know how to set the sheets alight), of a man a real nice guy that was the perfect match for Laura, as he knows how and when to push her buttons and when to back down, all while never ever loosing his temper!

The backdrop setting of a small country town where everyone knows everyone and everything about everyone was very nicely incorporated by the author, it blended in with the feeling of belonging and family that Laura needed and it also showed that country folk no matter if they are richer than the biggest of players in the world , they always stick together helping each other out anytime anywhere as if it is all just in a day's work.

The dialogue was fun and playful, emotional and truth revealing, but also laced with loads of humour. I laughed out so load at some of the things that came out of Laura's mouth that I very nearly fell out of my comfy reading chair! But I also found myself tearing up during times when the read got very emotional as the past of both main characters and some secondary ones came tumbling out.

From this read I am taking away a message of, what ever happened to you in your past, it can be overcome all you need to do is take a risk, don't hold back and fight for what you want, along the way you will still encounter sorrow but you will for sure find your happiness.

I recommend this read for all lovers of romances that involve good old fashioned cowboys ready to take on the world in the name of love and for fans who love a heroine that will knock their socks off!

This was the first read in this author's new series of four hot, mouthwatering, delicious kick ass cowboys who each meet their match and I look forward to getting to know the rest. A fun, spicy, passionate and heart warming read!

" The cowboy prince finds his very own Marilyn Monroe" 

What Happens In Ireland by Whitney K-E

WHAT HAPPENS IN IRELAND is the debut romance novel by Whitney K-E (Whitney Keevers Eastman), an Australian romance author. With a picturesque setting in Ireland and an Irish hero, I, an expat Irish woman, was more than a little interested to read this book.

And a lovely read it is too.  Unashamedly romantic and sentimental in parts, hot and steamy in others.  Now the steaminess comes in towards the end of the book, when the romance heats up.  If you're a person who prefers sweet romance, you might like to keep that in mind.  But honestly, I wouldn't let that put me off reading a good book.  I have no hesitation at all in recommending this novel to readers of romance fiction.  And in particular, to readers of romance who love Ireland.

The characters are memorable and attractive.  Kate Barrow, a young Australian who is an accomplished and experienced horsewoman, arrives in Ireland to take  up a job in a stud farm in Killarney, a job which she's acquired through contacts in the equestrian world.  She arrives in Ireland with some preconceived notions that the Irish must all be  like leprechauns and that they're drunk 24/7.  But she's soon disabused of that particular notion not long after her arrival.  She meets a certain Irishman who sets her heart a flutter and her pulse racing.  Although they separate soon after they first meet, they're reunited in a most unexpected and surprising way.  Jack O'Reilly is not only ruggedly handsome, he's witty and talks in riddles continuously and he never ceases to exasperate and intrigue the young Australian woman in equal measure.  And therein lies the USP of the novel.  Jack's a silver tongued charmer all right.  He has what it takes to be a lover.  But does he have what it takes to be a life partner?  Kate doesn't want a man to waste her time.  She has issues.  Serious issues involving trust and betrayal. One things's for sure - she's not going there again!  But how can a woman be sure of a man who alternately romances her off her feet and teases her till she explodes with anger?

Kate's initial reaction to Jack is to resist him by putting up on iron reserve which he becomes determined to overcome.  Jack's reaction is to do his darndest to melt this reserve.  And that, my friends, is the basic story. I had to confess, there were a few moments when I shivered in my shoes. Kate's iron resistance to Jack's Celtic charm sometimes bordered on utter rudeness.  I would never underestimate an Irishman's capacity to lose his temper, because like any man, he has self respect.  Lots of it.  Any woman unwise enough to test the boundaries of that self respect might find herself nursing a very sore ego.  That legendary wit can have an  edge which can, as we say in Ireland, cut the ground from under you.  And you'd be getting away lightly!

As a romance novelist, Whitney K-E has what it takes. Both her premise and the setting are perfect.  She writes of Ireland with great love and affection, you can really feel that.  The setting for me is both familiar and new, because I haven't spent much time in the south west of my country, nor do I know much about the equestrian community in which the story is set.  But living under the Indian sun as I do, reading this book gave me a free trip home.  At first I found it a little incomprehensible that Jen Tully, one of the characters, could drive from Killarney to Dublin and back in a day.  But a little research showed that with the progress the country's made in the past eighteen years since I left, the motorway system has improved transport considerably.  Well, I hadn't even thought of that!  How some things change.

Whether the region is Texas, Australia, Scotland or Ireland, it's not an easy task for an author to write in a foreign accent.  When I write myself, I prefer plain English with an odd local word or phrase to emphasize the local touch. There's a wealthy female character in the book who also speaks in a flat, local accent.   Someone like that, in my estimation, would speak in a plummy, west Brit accent.  But all in all, Whitney K-E has done a commendable job here.  So if you're curious to find out WHAT HAPPENS IN IRELAND, you could do a lot worse than pick this one up.

Audrey Thomas has been in love with Lucas Slade for ten years, only he has no clue. Then she spends one very passionate night with Lucas. Unable to forget that night, Audrey shows up at Lucas's front door. She soon learns he doesn't know it was her that night. She accepts a two month job on Lucas's ranch and tries to find a way to tell him the truth. As much as Audrey loves Lucas, her character is no pushover. 

Sexy as sin, horse breeder Lucas Slade, has finally recovered from his injuries from a month go. But he struggles with the memories of one drug induced night. While recovering at his friend Casey's cabin from the accident, a mystery woman enters his room. They spend part of the night making love, but when he awakes the next morning he is alone. 

Lucas finally puts it all together and realizes that Audrey is his mystery woman. But before he can worry how Casey will feel about him sleeping with his little sister, there is a surprise for both of them. A life changing surprise. But when Lucas offers marriage, Audrey refuses. She will not marry a man who does not love her.

I felt the characters were well written, with believable back stories to explain some of their thought processes. I also liked the detail that was written about the ranch. You at times felt like you were in the barns or paddocks. 

I have enjoyed a number of Charlene's books. I love how her stories flow with ease. It is also a joy to read error free novels. I cannot even begin to tell you how bad the market has gotten with ebooks that are full of errors and words in the incorrect order. But Charlene's always appear error free.

Heart Raider by Sophia Knightly

When we were teenagers we all had a crush on someone older, we dreamed of the day that person would see us as grown up and fall instantly in love with us too.

Of course most us move on from that little day dream as we grown up and fall in love with someone more our age and more suited.

But for Veronique she fell for her camp counsellor when she was just 13 years old, and fifteen years later she is still head over heals for I'll-make-hotter-than-hot-and-you-will-need-more-than-the-rain-to-cool- down-Nick.

Since the last time she saw him , he has been married, divorced, disgraced, nearly sent to jail and fired as CEO of his own foundation.

Veronique knows who is responsible for shattering the man of her dreams life and she is out to bring it all to light, and if she can prove she is no longer a silly thirteen year old but a sexy woman it will be a double score!  Only her plan has a flaw, Nick is not interested in spending time with any other human being within a 100 mile radius, getting into his house is easy but not being thrown out requires a complete different plan of attack.

The character of Veronique was well written but I would personally have liked to see her act like more of a grown up as after all this is one of the things she is out to prove. The author did give me as reader little glimpses of her acting as a adult but most of the time I could not help but feel she is still just a child trying to make a point and not really giving it her all. I did love that she has such a strong kind heart, always wanting to help others, it made her feelings for Nick so much more real and vivid, the author showed that those that wear their hearts on their sleeves do get hurt but when done in the name of love only good can come from it.

The character of Nick was a true brute, instead of fighting back, he takes his knock of life and goes down hard, leaving him unfriendly and just no fun to even be in a room with. However the author slowly but surely lets the man crawl out from his hideaway and shows a fun loving spirit beneath, that let my heart melt!

The backdrop settings were fun and calm when it comes to Nick's home, but also nice and exciting when it gets to the run around at getting the information to the right hands in order to reveal the truth. The dialogue was nicely done, emotional, sexy and heartfelt.

The sexual level of the is read, was hot and heavy but not of the erotica kind rather spicy with a dash of sweet.

I recommend this read for lovers of romance with a bit of a mystery and one where lovers meant to be finally get their chance.

" He stole her heart years ago, this time around she wants his" 

Too Close For Comfort by Heidi Rice

Reviewed by Desere


Not knowing who your father or mother is just plain sucks, if you know who they are and what they are, but not liking what you seeing, it sucks more.

Vowing to never become like him or her is a completely natural reaction, but one that can hinder you from actually living your life to the fullest and grabbing hold of the person who can be the one to heal you and your demons.

In the new Heidi Rice read the author tells the story of Zane and Iona. Iona is a damsel in distress and if there is one thing Zane does best, it's rescuing and protecting woman who are in a heap of trouble.

Only Iona reckons she does not need rescuing, especially not from some hot shot detective. But getting away from this man is darn near impossible, not only is he able to erase any and all sexual encounters from her past making her addicted and not wanting to ever get out of bed, no the man is far worse for her well being, he creeps into her heart and she has no idea how to get into his.

The character of Iona was terrific, fun and feisty a real go getter who does not back down in the face of danger rather she goes after it. Of course having I'll- make-you-come-till-you-pass-out Zane to come after her at the drop of a hat makes it so much more fun!

I loved that the author made her strong and she faces up to a challenge,telling it like it is. What I truly adored was how the author used her little insecurities to get on Zane's nerves. It made for some truly awesome conflict moments.

The character of Zane was a real sweetheart ladies, the man is sweet and kind enough to make your heart melt but also forceful and passionate enough to make your knees turn into jelly, the absolute perfect amount of sexiness.

The author making him this tough guy hero with a softer side, somehow made him more realistic for me as reader. It is not often we find a hero that is both throughout the read, no rather we get an arrogant hero that eventually comes around showing his sweeter and more considerate side and that usually happens in the end of the read, so that Heidi was a brilliant touch!

The backdrop settings were all very neatly incorporated into the read, from the recklessness of the kitchen sex scene that showed the restlessness of Zane's soul to the more softer side of his life when he is sitting down with his mother and finally having "the talk", and no it is not that kind of talk, you will need to read the book to find out, all I will say is it is a whopper of a talk.

The sexual level of this read was the kind of spicy I have learned to expect from this author but with more heat and emotion, that kind that right from the first time leaves you thinking "Okay that was so much more than casual", so often it takes a few rounds for this to pop up in a read so being able to pick it up from the start go was a nice refreshing touch.

The dialogue was oh so classic Heidi Rice, very sexy laced with terrific sensual and sweet undertones. As reader am taking away a message that is a very powerful one, never assume rather ask for you might never know, the answer could be your salvation.

NYC Angels Series Overview by Various Authors

                                           

                                              New York Angels Series Overview 

                       Doctors, romance, passion and drama - in the city that never sleeps 

The New Mills and Boon NYC Angels series is about a group of doctors, nurses and therapists all working in the New York Angels Hospital, famous for going the extra mile to give hope to their patients. The series tells the story of eight couples who meet their match, fall in love, face heartache from the past, fight for a future, face day to day life threatening emergencies and ultimately find their happy ever after.

Each one of the reads had blazing hot passionate nights, heart stopping moments of joy and sorrow, intrigue and on the edge of your seat medical drama. You will walk away with a strong and powerful message of love is not only found outside the hospital doors but also inside where doctors and nurses give their all and more to save the lives of their patients, they not only live in the city that never sleeps, they live and breathe it.

The first book Redeeming the Playboy by Carol Marinelli told the story of Jack and Nina, and how moments of going head to head turn into nights of blazing passion and the playboy becomes the played, as he has to fight to let the one woman that has managed to tear open his heart stick around for the long haul.

The second book Heiress's Baby Scandal by Janice Lynn tells the story of drop dead sexy cowboy turned Dr. Ty and heiress Eleanor, and how letting go even if just for one night can bring scandal to your family and shatter the perfect image they try to uphold, but having a person who will stick by you no matter the scandal is all you will ever really need to make you beautiful in everyway.

The third book Unmasking Dr Serious by Laura Idling told the story of Dan and Molly, and how letting someone into your heart can heal your own worst pain, all you need to is trust and believe that you deserve it. And that blame for accidents beyond your control is a guilt that is never meant to be carried.

The fourth book The Wallflower's Secret by Susan Carlisle told of Ryan and Lucy and how inner beauty is what really counts and when secrets are revealed they are sometimes the life altering moments we need to find our happiness.

The fifth book Flirting with Danger by Tina Beckett told of Brad and Chloe, and how years of attraction finally explode into a dangerous passion, but lust is one thing finally learning how to love is a complete different matter, handing over the key to your heart is the final step to happiness

The sixth book Tempting Nurse Scarlet by Wendy S. Marcus told of adoption and how it can change your life when revealed or trying to simply deal with it, and how it can effect your final personality in life, how you handle those around you or face off when a challenge hits your road to happiness. It also showed how single parenthood can be one of the hardest and toughest life challenges life has to offer.

The seventh book Making the surgeon smile by Lynne Marshall told how loosing the perfect family you always wanted can erect walls that takes years to break down , but when finally broken down and it all threatens s to be taken away again how are you meant to survive, the answer love, trust and believing you deserve a second chance.

In the eighth book An Explosive Reunion by Alison Roberts the story of Alex and Layla showed that past hurt can keep you from having a lonely future and that trusting someone again is sometimes the only way to find out if the person is indeed real and willing to risk it all to be with you.

I highly recommend this series for lovers of medical drama romance reads. Everyone deserves a chance at happiness and sometimes you need to take the risk and put your heart out there you might just be very pleasantly surprised. And this series showed the message perfectly whist also showing medical staff are also human and sometimes face their own brand of demons inside and outside the doors of emergency, and that the images they uphold are the ones that need to be broken down in the name of love, for only then will the true person inside shine through.

NYC Angels : An Explosive Reunion by Alison Roberts

Reviewed by Desere


Falling for the woman of your dreams and being one of the worlds top surgeons are two of the most important and greatest achievements for anyone, but when you loose the woman of your dreams and then loose a patient the next day and then get sued for the death it is bound to destroy any faith you might have had in life and yourself.

Finding it again can be a long and torturous journey. And sometimes facing the past is the only way to get back up and out there.

In the eighth and final book from the new Mills and Boon NYC Angels series it tells the story of Alex and Layla, for those of you that have read the other seven books in the series you will know that these two have been going at it for quite some time and we have been given glimpses into their relationship or lack there of, and personally I have been waiting to get the full story ever since book one.

The read tells of Layla, she was trapped in a dead end marriage and took a easy way out, by starting a blazing hot passionate affair with sexy together-we-will-create-more-steam-in-the-shower -without-so-much-as-a-drop-of-water Alex!

However Layla finds herself at point where she hates herself and her actions and calls off the affair, only she does so the night before Alex is to take on a major operation, his focus is not all there and thus he looses the lifesaving battle.

The grieve stricken family lash out by suing and Alex's life tumbles to the ground. He picks himself and carries on but always holds the guilt close to his heart. When Layla shows up again the red hot attraction is still there, he can't resist her and soon they are back in bed together but can he trust her enough to not walk away again this time, or even trust himself enough to not fail again?

The character of Layla, was one I did not like all that much as cheating on your husband is never the right answer, find a way out of the marriage and then start thinking of a new future, the hurt to others involved is always less that way. I could understand why the author lets her be so weak but I also wanted to see her get up and fight for happiness and I adored when the author finally lets her take control of her life.

The character of Alex was absolutely addictive, I could not for one moment stop wanting to know more about the man that faced so much hurt and anger and I simply adored the manner in which the author lets him find the trust not only in himself but in others again in order to get his life back.

The backdrop setting were as in the previous books focused mainly on the hospital , again it brought out the emotional and heartfelt moments of drama and the very real truth of what medical staff need to face inside and outside the emergency doors, they are afterall just like us only human.

The dialogue was great, the author gave me wonderful enjoyable moments of conflict and truth revealing moments of joy and sorrow.

I took away a message of holding onto the past and never trusting again can be the biggest downfall when you need to get up and try again.

I highly recommend this book for all lovers of romance with medical drama as a backdrop and second chance love.
