The Surgeon's Runaway Bride by Olivia Gates (Medical Romance Oct. 2007)

Hi All:

       For a great read about a real life heroine working with tribes on the Amazon river read LA Doctora by Linnea Smith.  Dr. Smith is one of the people I most admire in the world. A medical romance writer will find a treasure trove of material in this book and on Dr. Smith's website.

      I hope the "Surgeon's Runaway Bride"  comes out as a Special Edition eBook.  This review sure makes me want to read it!

                 Thanks,

                                Vince

Today I was scanning books at Walmart and saw they have Medicals on the shelf I thought they weren't sold in stores. None of them were the good sold out ones though they looked like next months books. But I take it Medicals will be sold at book stores now it seems.

Another great review Merri. Ola's books grab you by the scruff of the neck and drag you along for a helluva ride.

Yes, alas the medicals aren't widely availbale retail - the ones on shelf this month (one is mine - yey!!!) are a part of the Readers Choice programme and the next lot won't be til June/July.

I'm going to check the shelves for these, then.  It just annoys me that these books aren't readily available on the shelves.  For a new line, I need to look at the books to see what they are about before just buying, you know?

that they weren't a new line just a short while ago.  I went out to find the ones on the shelves and saw the numbers and realized they weren't new.    I understand that books are available via the eH site, but I just believe books should be available to all without having to order them from one specific place.  It's just a personal belief of mine so it hit a sore spot to see they are only available online; I'm a firm believer in retail stores.  I used to work in a bookstore.....

Hey Debbie, pleased you're liking it. Dontcha just love surprises

We, the med authors, share everyones frustration with the difficulty in getting hold of all 6 books each month and not being able to get them from a store. But I think the more guys like you talk about them the higher the profile will be and then things will start to change

Thanks for blogging about our wonderful line, all of you.

Hi Paisley & Medical Series Fans:

         I went to the used book store for a book my mother wanted and the Medical Series books are still there. About 100 books. After a quick look it seems like the most titles were by Lillian Darcy,  Marion Lennox, Lucy Clark, and Olivia Gates. Wow, the first two are major writers. I did not know they wrote Medicals. I have not read any Lucy Clark books. Olivia Gates we know from your review.

         I did get six books. Three by Fiona McArthur:  “The Midwife’s Secret”, “Midwife in Need”, and “A Very Single Midwife”.  Three by Amy Andrews: “An Unexpected Proposal”, “The Surgeon’s Meant-to-Be Bride”, and “Mission: Mountain Rescue”.

        I bought these because the two authors are excellent. However, the type is even smaller than normal. There is no way I can read the type and still enjoy the books. I’ll be happy to send them, free of charge, to anyone who will actually read them and review them (and not let them die in a TBR pile).  I need a Medical “fix” now and there are no books left I have not already read so I know how it feels. The Medicals are now my favorite line. 

        If any one wants to read and review these books, please email me. Tell which ones you want, include a snail mail address, and off they go. 

           Thanks,

                               Vince

Two words for your review; great AND wow! Thank you so much! I am so glad you couldn't put the book down! Your analysis is wonderful as you've covered everything, not only the romance, but setting, medical drama and how it's integrated into the developing romance. 

And yes, I always have fun when I'm writing my books, taking the place of my characters and acting out the situation, the dialogue. It's how they come alive in my head and I hope do so too with my readers.

 Vince,

Thank you so much for your interest in Medical Romance. If you'd like a large-print copy of one of my books, can you please email me? 

Here's hoping one day you don't have to rely on UBS to find Medicals, that you'd find them on the shelves along with the rest of the lines!

Thanks everyone who've commented and who've read my books and enjoyed
them. This is what any author lives for, this invaluable feedback!

for being able to find the medicals on the shelves!!
