Her choice. His consequences.

Nurse Sophie Mattuchi has seen a lot of angry patients in the ER, but no one's ever rattled her like Jack Carter. He has no right to blame her for his friend's death. Sophie did everything she could. Didn't she? Yet his accusations sting, and that sets off all kinds of internal alarms. She's never cared this much about any man's opinion of her. But Jack is different. He stirs up feelings. Strong feelings. Guilt. Anger. Attraction. Curiosity. Sympathy. Sophie's definitely not interested in Jack, but even if she was, he'd never forgive her for the decision she made that night in the hospital. Would he?

I GIVE THIS BOOK: 3 Stars

MY THOUGHTS:

I've loved nearly every book that I've read in the Heartwarming line, but while I enjoyed this one I didn't love it. I'm not sure of the reason, but more than likely it was my dislike of Sophie's love interest. At first I understood his opinion/feelings/grief, but once he and Sophie got together I thought it just became unbelievable the way he behaved with her.

I really liked Sophie. I loved her desire to help others, how she volunteered and helped her friends, but I didn't like how she stretched herself so thinly...but thought it was nice she had people in her life that cared and tried to keep her in check.

I actually liked many of the couples featured, and I'm quite sure they're from the previous books in series, so I definitely plan on reading those stories sometime.

While this wasn't a favorite, it was a mostly enjoyable read.

I received a complimentary copy of this book to review. I was asked to give my honest opinion of the book - which I have done.
