romance

     I've been looking forward to reading this one since I got, oh back a while ago... so I'm not sure just why it took so long for me to sit down and just read it.  But it was a wonderful story ~ definitely emotionally intense. 
     Rachel lost nearly everything important to her, except Houston Bookout, the man she's loved for a long time... and he returns the love.  It was extremely difficult, but I think that the reason she left him behind was because she just didn't know what to do next and leaving Mirage, Texas behind seemed to be her only recourse.  Heartbreaking to be sure, especially when Houston returns home to find nothing and no one. 
    But in many ways I think that they both benefited from their time apart, as hard as it was.  In any case, this is a story not to be missed by anyone who is a fan of Dinah McCall's / Sharon Sala's writing.  A definite treasure which I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

     Like so many of Sharon Sala's stories, this one had me from the very beginning.  Her understated recitation of Chance burning down a house was certainly an attention-grabber and as the story progressed we're slowly given the background to the opening scene.  Ms. Sala has a way of inciting all-encompassing interest.  Her characters, their individual and combined stories display a marvelous talent, and show just how in touch with human nature she is.  As always an excellent story by a favourite and autobuy author.  VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

His Very Special Nurse by Margaret McDonagh

(Harlequin Medical Romance - August 2007)

Rating: Good

This was a very sweet story with strong, likeable characters. Definitely different from my usual reading, but I really enjoyed it.

The story is:

Alexandra Patterson has been hired as a nurse working for Dr. Kyle Sinclair. She's excited about the new job, which allows her to work out in the community, but is unsure of her boss. She's attracted to Kyle, but he seems distant, with a hidden grief, and Alex soon begins discovering some unsettling truths about another nurse in the practice...

Here is my 57th book, and my 23rd Harlequin read. 

The Ghost Hunter was so good I read it right through.
