This one is a hospital romance between Dr. Galen Burgess and Dr. Rowan Duncan. The author, Emily Smith, starts it off promisingly enough. Galen is Chief Surgical Resident at Boston City Hospital and Rowan is the newest intern.

It starts on July 1st, the day when New Residents (i.e. Interns) start at hospitals around the country. Galen is the still newish Chief Resident of Surgery. Rowen is one of the new Interns and previously has had a sheltered life in Texas (Oh yeah, coming from somewhere in Texas to Boston might be a little bit of fast coast east coast whiplash).

At the end of my review of 'After the Fire', which is also by Emily Smith, I wrote, "Galen Now?" and boy oh boy was this Galen's turn. Because while she falls for Rowan, Rowan's part of the story is much more complicated, mainly because she has a boyfriend, Brian, who is still in Texas.

Of course, Galen also has some baggage, having been a player for quite a while, as well as some hard core Brugess (her family) family drama.

I liked the secondary characters the most in this book. Teddy was back and Makayla was quite a character.

I liked the book for the most part. It was a nice sorta sequel to 'After the Fire' and a very enjoyable (I blew through it because I was hooked) fast read. Oh, and it was set in Boston, and that part was written perfectly, no trips from Boston to Pittsfield in Twenty Minutes. And that's always a very big plus for me.

I received this book via Netgalley thanks to Bold Strokes Books. ( )
