New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Pull a trigger and everything changes. Medical student Laura Nelson had just finished examining her first patient when she is forced to make a split-second decision that will alter the course of her lifeâ??forever. One life will end, and one life will never be the same. But keeping her dreadful secret will be one of the toughest challenges Laura will ever face.

Laura is a medical student, who, despite the fact that her husband would rather that she stay home and raise their children, works hard each day in the classroom as well as in the hospital when she is seeing patients. After she is raped and forced to defend herself with deadly force, she fights to keep the events of that evening a secret, even as she learns how close her family is to that of her assailant. ( )

I admit, from the first page this book had me completely hooked. The premise of story, such a controversial time in history, has always fascinated me, and this was no exception. I love medical dramas, being in the medical field myself, so this was right up my alley. The story started out strong, and the tension never stopped building, not even up to the last pages. That being said, though, there were definitely some jarring errors I noticed within this novel.

First, the drama that is involved right at the beginning of the book between Laura and Johnny seemed a little...rushed, a little brushed off. I understand it was written within a rush of riotous scenes, but still. The casualness in which her husband brushed off their lack of love life bothered me a little too. I know for one my husband would at least find it suspicious.

The book, though, hit quite a few things right on the head as far as accuracy goes, especially the affair and the failed relationships between the human doctors. From what I have seen, it's all too common for that to happen in the medical world. The action was intense, and the story kept me clinging to the pages until I got to the last page. ( )

I rated this book 4 stars because it was truelly an incredible book!!!! This book was about a young doctor from Detroit and she lives in a bad neighborhood and there has been a lot of murders lately and unfortuantly for her she happens to be in the middle of one when she least expects it. This book is truelly a book of true love......the doctor had just gone through a lot of stuff lately and something major happened in her life and she didn't want to tell her husband because she was afraid of what he was going to think so she kept it a secret and in the end it ended up hurting everyone around her and killing the one she loved the most. It is very interesting reading a book like that because when I read that I think about how nice my town is and its really scaring comparing it to the town/ neighborhood where she lived. And the scary part is it could really happen........there are gangs everywhere now and days and its unfortunate for you if you pick just the right neighborhood with bad people. So I am very thankful for living in my neighborhood because it is peacefull and I don't have to go to bed at night and worry about murders and gangs trying to kill my family. This book is a real page turner and it goes right to your hurt when you read this. I suggest that you read this and find out what happens, it truelly is an amazing book!! ( )
