The hottest mistake of her life?
Obstetrician Monica Hamilton loves her job, yet with
every tiny baby she delivers, she longs for her own even more. When she's
poised to explore single motherhood, it's terrible timing to notice sexy
Argentinean paramedic Luke Arias. All he can promise is no strings and
scorching hot nights. He's already had to bring up his orphaned siblings --
children are 100 percent off his agenda. Usually cautious Monica is powerless
to resist Luke's charisma…but will their temporary fling break her heart or
unlock everything she's ever wanted?
Good story. Monica is an OB doctor, and Luke is a
paramedic. They met when Luke brought a pregnant accident victim to Monica's
hospital. The connection between them happened quickly, though neither wanted
to admit it. After several professional encounters, they decided to spend time
together "just for fun." It doesn't take long for their attraction to
become something more, but there are obstacles. Monica yearns for a child of
her own, while Luke is equally adamant that he doesn't want children.
Both are dealing with some heavy emotional baggage.
Monica's best friend, Jess, has been in a coma for three years and is
approaching her final days. Her grief for her friend becomes complicated by the
actions of Jess's husband. Luke raised his twin siblings after their parents
died when the twins were twelve, and isn't interested in going there again.
I enjoyed the development of Monica and Luke's
relationship. I especially liked Luke's sensitivity and care for Monica as she navigated
Jess's passing and its aftermath. Luke's relationships with his siblings were great,
especially with his brother Daniel. His happiness over Daniel's fatherhood was
evident, and I enjoyed the babysitting scenes. But eventually, the differences
in Luke's and Monica's dreams for the future put a strain on their blossoming
relationship. It takes some time and external encouragement for them to break
free of their fears.
The epilogue was good, and I laughed at the surprise they
had waiting for them.
