As an avid Radclyffe reader, I was thrilled to revisit Quinn and Honor’s world! The subplot with those two was honestly my favorite part. Emmette and Syd were the two main characters in this book. They had a shared history which wasn’t revealed until over 3/4 of the way through the book. It was pretty obvious early on what did, in fact happen. I liked the main plot of this book, however, I didn’t feel any sizzle between those two characters. Radclyffe is a master of creating that sizzle, but it was absent in this book. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

This book is connected to Fated Love, written in 2004, and as the author explains in the acknowledgments, it intends to be the beginning of a series of medical themed books, of which two of her previous books, Night Call and Crossroads, would also be part.

The story focuses on Emmett and Syd, two medical students who are in their last years of residence in a hospital. Emmett may seem at first not very professional, after the first scene of the book the image you can make of her is totally wrong. And Syd also appears as a cold and distant woman, although the circumstances in which she is at the beginning of history justify their attitude. The secondary characters, at first looks like that they are going to play an important role in the relationship between Emmett and Syd, but then they become quite blurred among the story. It is really interesting to discover how the relationship between Honor and Quinn continues, being both  protagonists of the book Fated Love, aforementioned.

For the fans of Radclyffe, this is a book that has all the ingredients that make her books so interesting and that we are always hoping to find: women of strong personality, with passion for everything they do, with principles and honesty above of everything, having to overcome hard moments but without defocusing their goals in life, passionate. Being set in a hospital and being the author a former surgeon herself, the descriptions of the environment that takes place there, emergencies, wounds, complex operations and so on, are described in detail. Also the rich description of critical situations, make your adrenaline rise at the same time that the protagonists do.

And for those who have not yet discovered Radclyffe, although this can not be considered one of her best books, it is a good example of what usually makes her books very interesting and enjoyable.
