My Thoughts
This is the third book in the Grace Medical series, but I am glad to report that this can be read as a stand alone~
Getting right down to business, this book was hoping! I loved how detailed and vivid Calvert's writing is down to the medical jargon. Being a former ER nurse shows in Calvert's writings because as the reader the story felt alive. I felt as if I was in the ER watching everything, and that is what made me like this book even more. Nothing is worse than a book that "kind of" convinces you that the character's work at the ER and save lives. Oh, no. Calvert succeeds and triumphs all medical series that I have read so far. Truly stupendous.
Similar to other authors, Calvert'sPOVs don't just stop at two particular characters. There was about two other point of views besides Lauren and Eli's story in the book. For this book though it worked only because the other characters were connected to Lauren and Eli in some way that kept the story going.
Drama factor this story was bringing everything to the table. From a powerful hurricane overshadowing the whole story and leaving everyone on edge, to the stolen drugs, people jumping off of roofs, and people being set-up, it's got just about everything and I loved it. It was like a continuous episode of ER that just kept shocking me at each chapter.
Romance factor, Calvert wrote a cute romance that bloomed between Lauren and Eli. Both of these characters have a lot of issues when we first meet them. Lauren is watching over her sister who is a little unstable, plus, she has her parents constantly thanking her for being so helpful this however leaves pressure to always help out with her sister. Then there is Eli who is a single-parent. His father hates him and wants him out of the picture with his older brother who is disabled. Also, Lauren's family hates Eli and Eli is not all that excited about God at this time in his life. From the beginning it seems that these two will never be together, but surprisingly so through many circumstances (which you need to read to know why) their ending ends a lot differently than they thought possible.
Very happy with this read! Something I would suggest if you want to mix-up your normal reading. It's awesome!
