The
sexual energy between the Nurse Harriet Remy (known as "Harry") and
her husband Guillaume is electric but it is just not enough. Harry
returns after a separation from her husband Guillaume, head guy for a
MedSurg team that flies into hot spots and war-torn countries to
provide health services for WHO (World Health Organization). Children
have never been part of their plan --- the thrill of their humanitarian
work was the priority. Harriet, called "Harry", has changed the game
plan. When she discovers her fertility is in question, the desire for a
baby becomes more important than anything. Guillaume loves her but he
can't pretend --- he doesn't want a baby. Harriet returns with divorce
papers to her last mission for MedSurg, but with all this sexual
tension in the air, will it become a mission to save their marriage?
Neither of them intends to compromise! What can happen when life
suddenly changes an individual's goals in a marriage?
The Surgeon's
Meant-To-Be-Bride begins with explosive physical,
sexual tension but soon the romance adds both a suspenseful and tender
element as well. Each chapter ticks down the hours and creates a
fast-paced read. The medical setting reminds the reader of M.A.S.H. in
terms of the medical drama but without the army bureaucracy or the
sometimes sexist humor that M.A.S.H. had. I found myself emotionally
moved by the tender and sad moments.
The
Surgeon's Meant-To-Be-Bride
touches on the issues of love and family and generations through
objects and the fertility theme. The happily-ever-after of this romance
is very intriguing and a particular reading delight. The ending is
brilliant --- not an easy simplistic ending, but one that the
characters have to fight for and one that is true to the hero and
heroine --- and one that moves the reader. Amy Andrews takes the cake
when it comes to writing a romance where the hero and heroine really
get inside of each other and see each other without any masks! Very
unique!
