Format: Print Books
Series: Harlequin Medical Romance
Flora, sweet, shy Flora is the only girl on Glenmore never kissed by bad boy Connor MacNeil and he’s baaaaaaaaaack. She is now a nurse in a busy, short-staffed island practice. He is now a doctor and has been hired on. She wants him, she loves him, he wants her. Can a relationship work out between them?
The author hit the right note with this book. Lots of tension, plenty of drama and fast-paced. I enjoyed the story. Thumbs up!

I don't think I have read
I don't think I have read any of her stuff before this (why did I wait so long to start ordering medicals?) book. I love her style. I can't get over the wide variety of styles within the medical line, but so far, not a single clunker. I love regional differences, too. My youngest daughter (17 in a few days) has started reading them, too. We were talking about how each author has a voice, but the aussie authors all have a certain similarity--it's hard to put it into words. The british authors have different one and American authors have a third commonality--nearest analogy would be regional accents.
Whatever it is, we love them!

Voice
I know exactly what you mean about "voice" Nancy. Individual writers voice as well as the way they use words that gives clues to their heritage.
Sarah is English though. And she also writes for Presents.

Yeah, I knew she was a
Yeah, I knew she was a british writer because of her accent. Each author has their own distinct voice, but there are ways the words get strung together that flavors or accents the voice. It is very interesting to me as a reader to see all the similarities and the differences. I can also believe that Sarah writes for the HP imprint.
And I see that one of your books has come out as an HP extra. That I find hard to believe, only because your heroine is not a quiet, docile thing. Interesting choice for Harlequin/M&B to make. But congrats to you!

Nancy, I read this one
Nancy,
I read this one too. There were many actions packed in this story, I like the flow of the story, the bad boy image of H who turned out to be a good doctor. I would like to see that h was more on H's side, instead she questioned his skills & gossiped about him too, without giving him benefit of doubt. It was an enjoyable read. Glad that you like it too.

I suppose it would have been nice if the h came in with some support a little earlier--but I think that this was how the author was creating tension between the h/H. I liked how fast the book read--lots of drama, and lots of medical bits.

The HMRs do read fast.
The HMRs do read fast. Sometimes I like slow reading books full of description but sometimes I just need, indeed crave, something that is action packed or suspenseful..generally I go for HMR or Suspense/Romantic Suspense when I am in that mood.

I can see why you go for the HMRs or the Romantic Suspense type stories--they haul the reader through the story so quickly.
