MY REVIEW:

     The story revolves around a hospital and all its happenings.  Which there are a lot normally but this is a lot more than usual.  There is deaths, maybe a murder, love sex, the lovelorn, the horny, oh yeah ill people and people getting well. 

     Most of all this story revolves around Chloe Bennett a 26 year old naive yet wise old soul who is a nurse who works nights and any other extra shifts she can get to support her mother, brother and herself.  You see her mother was severely handicapped in a car accident which caused her to be mentally challenged.  So, she has in house care as much as she can for her.  Yet, she never ask for help except for her no good brother Richard who is into drugs.

     None of her friends at the hospital even know that she had a fiancé before she started working at the hospital.  She had dated him for three years and they got engaged and then the day of the wedding she was left at the alter he said he just didn’t love her and couldn’t go through with it.  Then, he just upped and moved away out of state.  She was left to tell everyone return all the gifts and everything.  She was humiliated and felt less than nothing.  Richard every chance he got told her she was revolting and worthless.

     Which just killed her because at 8 her father passed away and their mother went into a deep depression and Chloe had to take care of everything washing, cleaning, cooking and balancing the checkbook the best she could she took care of Richard. Once he found drugs he just beat her down verbally.  She could not catch a break and she needed him to help her with her mother.  So, she had to take his foul mouth.

     Then, she meets the other person in this story Dr. Brad Markson an alpha male if there ever was one.  He’s rude to everyone, mean, demanding and not a very nice human being.  He is wonderful at his job as a cardiac surgeon. 

     He doesn’t like relationships, he does like sex and he likes it hard, fast, and with no strings attached.  He knew he was going to have to dump the current lady he was seeing, Diane, for she was getting clingy.  When he meets Chloe, she’s the nurse to one of his patients he loses, a friend too.  At first he is angry with her for she is not complying with his demands for answers when he wants them.  But then he understands that she just wants to make sure that his friends and hers and their patient is laid to rest, after the emergency procedures were done, were cleaned up.  He was glad though that she stood up to him not happy but glad that she took care of their friend and had the balls to do it.  He did admire that in her, no one else ever seemed to bother to challenge him.

     From that first day he can’t stop thinking about her.  When she comes to his office to confront him about checking up on her and possibly getting her fired she is upset.  They get it settled but now his mind and both his heads are sore from wanting her.  He was not the only one that could not stop thinking and dreaming about the other.

     As a secondary not and comic relief there is the unrelationship of Bea and Dr. Larry.  Bea is the beautiful black woman who is larger than life.  She is a single mom and a secretary to Dr. Brad.  Now mind you she is only a temp who threatens to quit everyday as they banter and yell at one another (which he loves by the way.)  By the way it’s a ruse, they both love and respect one another very much.  She has been with him 3 years and he pays her double the amount he paid the last full time secretary.

     Now his best friend Dr. Larry a very white man is in a mad crush with Bea.  Yet, he is scared to death of being rejected.  Therefore, comes up with all these ways to try to get up the nerve to ask her out.  Let’s just say the first try lands her in the ER.

     This is an interesting book, it is filled with intrigue, lust, sadness, frustration, erotica, extremely funny in areas, and mystery.  The “Who done it?” is one that keeps you on your seat, I thought I knew who but wasn’t sure.  It was a nail bitter and when I found out I was, “Well crap, I knew that but not that!”
