RTC

A well written, interesting medical story that delves into what an emergency room team goes through. Claire Avery was a nurse in the E R when her firefighter brother was brought in. She still lives with the trauma of him dying in front of her. That is why she wants to be an educator and not go back to the ER. Dr. Logan Caldwell is a perfectionist. He wants the top people in his department in order to give the best care in critical situations. He too has a past to overcome. I liked the progression of the romance between Claire and Logan.and how they discovered that God could heal old wounds and that He had a plan for 5heir lives that they were not expecting. The author showed the characters with flaws but also with compassion and even a little mystery.
Great start to a series I hope to finish soon.

Calvert nailed it in this one! RTC! ( )

No villains here, in this uplifting hospital romance with characters that brought tears to my eyes, and I was so surprised that it it did. The writing drug me into what I thought would be just one of those hospital romances I used to read years ago. Now, I am deeper, more sophisticated….and so is this story. I thought this would be a three rating…until Sarah’s trouble. Religious without being preachy. Have I become a hopeless romantic?

Claire Avery is a skilled ER nurse who watched her brother die while she was on duty. That event made her question and second guess her skills until finally she left her job. Wanting a new start she decides to move to a new place, a new hospital. Her assignment is counseling the staff after a day-care center explosion. That's where she runs into Dr. Logan Caldwell (a.k.a. Dr. McSnarly). He doesn't buy into all the "touch-feely" type counseling. He expects his staff to be as tough as he is. But he finds himself drawn to the woman behind the pamphlets.

Yet another great story from Candace Calvert. I just loved Logan Caldwell. What girl wouldn't. He was McSnarly outside but inside beat a heart of gold. (that needed a little refining)! :) You could definitely understand why Claire felt the way she did and I truly sympathized with her. It would be hard for anyone to face what she did. Erin (the charge nurse & her friend) was a big help. She always tried to be an encouragement to Claire. This story had great balance of drama, action and of course...romance. There were some very romantic moments. I appreciated how the characters struggled with where God was in their trials. I'm sure we've all struggled with that question at times. This is the first book in the Mercy Hospital Series. I have read Disaster Status and Code Triage and I personally would recommend the entire series. I'm looking forward to what this author has for us next! ( )
