Candace Calvert knows how to write medical drama. Her descriptions of the frenetic pace in an emergency room made it seem like I was in the midst of the action. It also helped me to connect to the characters, Sloan in particular. While she was a guarded person, it was in her role as a nurse I got to see who she really was, and that made her much more likable and relatable than she might have been otherwise. I really liked the play between her and Zoey, too. Micah was a great guy, his wounds completely understandable, but I would have liked to understand what made him tick a little more.
I have to say I didn't pick up on part of the book until the very end, so that was a nice twist--I like it when a book surprises me.
There was a strong spiritual arc in this book illustrating forgiveness in various forms through several characters. For example, watching Sloan, with her admittedly promiscuous history, struggle to believe she could be forgiven was heartrending and so much easier to understand once I saw the part her own childhood had played in the decisions she made.
This book was filled with drama, action, heart and romance. A great way to spend a few hours.
The book also had some very heart wrenching subjects, between the alcoholism and the sex trafficking, the mobster/gang stuff, the ER episodes. This was definitely not light reading, but was still a very enjoyable story.
Candace Calvert is a very talented author. I have enjoyed several of her series and hope to read more. When you want a story full of emotion, give one of her books a try.
Emergency room nurse Sloane Ferrell's life has been careening off course for quite some time, her childhood stolen by someone she should have been able to trust, her mother's death the kind of memory that no child should have to recall, her personal life steeped in poor judgement; and now her privacy is about to be invaded after a hospital parking lot rescue? She has worked so hard to create a new life for herself in Los Angeles, and what others might deem heroic, now threatens to put her face on a billboard for Hope Hospital's new public relations campaign; that simply cannot happen.
Micah Prescott, assistant director of public relations and marketing at Hope Hospital, is intrigued by the lovely emergency room nurse with the fire in her eyes, relentless compassion for her patients, and firm resistance to his overtures of friendship. When a grisly crime draws the two together, Sloane reluctantly admits that her first impressions of Micah Prescott were perhaps a bit misguided. Just as the two begin to form a delicate friendship, the secrets in Sloane's past begin to unravel before Micah's very eyes, forcing him to admit that he has a lot to learn about forgiveness.
Once again, Candace Calvert has displayed her ability to use a story as an illustration of God's tender mercy and unfailing love, taking the most cruel of circumstances and interjecting the hope that "God never defines you by the past . . . . ".
Negatives: I do not want to read about human-trafficking and the subsequent violence associated with it in a fiction book I'm trying to enjoy. If I want information, there are non-fiction sources and statistics available. I also don't care to read about organized crime organizations in my fiction. I enjoy interpersonal interaction in medical fiction and tension found in that type of book, but most of the action in this story was outside of the hospital. As far as the faith and practice element it felt superficial or forced for most of the book and then in chapter 41 everyone has a sincere religious faith. Hum. Just because you use words like redemption and forgiveness does not make this a transformative Christian fiction in my honest opinion. I was disappointed. I expect more from a Christian fiction book than the fact it can boast of a clean and wholesome read. I feel l should pause before purchasing another Calvert book, which is sad as I really enjoyed "By Your Side, Crisis Team, Book 1."
