Harlequin Medical Romance (UK: January 2008, US: March 2008)
Category: Medical Romance
Mini-series: Bachelor Dads
Orthopedic doctor Dr. Dane Hendricks is every nurse's dream ---
handsome and a take charge kind of guy when it comes to medicine but
also warm and humorous. Rikki Johansen is a conscientious nurse, taking
to heart all the lessons she learned in nursing school, and a woman
dedicated to serving others. When a patient's medication is
accidentally given to another patient, Dr. Dane Hendricks blames Rikki,
no questions asked. When it comes to asking Rikki out for a date, Dane
is just as confident of himself. Why is Dane so drawn to this scrawny
woman with her unusual fashion sense? Dane is a single dad with two
adorable twin girls and Rikki is a foster mother. Complications and
misunderstandings arise to separate Dane and Rikki but when true love
comes into play, can these two survive what life has to throw at them?
Single Dad, Nurse Bride is romance that
begins
with explosive tension that develops into an emotionally moving romance
filled with passionate and tender moments between the hero and heroine.
Rikki is the kind of woman who always puts others before herself. Her
character will resonate deeply during hectic times at this moment. Ever
read a book that is just sooo right for the moment? This was one of
those books for me. Rikki’s story will resonate with anyone involved in
charity work or those who care for others. It’s not just Rikki's
character but I just sank into this book and felt rejuvenated after
that kind of read. Why so rejuvenating? This romance has a fun sense of
humor and lightness --- and even a bit of zaniness to Rikki's character
--- and yet I discovered some heart-moving moments combined with some
realistic and even sad moments. Readers may find
themselves reserving a special place for Single Dad,
Nurse Bride on their keeper shelf to reread, especially when
life's demands require a satisfying, renewing romance read.
