Life Support by Candance Calvert

I am convinced that there are two type of Christian fiction that need to be written more.  One would be lawyer books and the other is medical. I absolutely love reading Candace Calvert. Her knowledge about medicine and the ER comes from her being a former ER nurse.  She doesn't use the medical jargon thy is over your head, though.  When the is a case that has some medical word, there is always an explanation on simpler terms. 

I admired Elijah, who is a PA.  He made mistakes, but owned up to them.  His family situation was less than ideal, but he made the best of it.  He fought for what he believed was right.  I really wanted him to repair his relationship with Lauren.

Lauren got on my nerves some because she didn't want to believe the obvious about her sister.  I know relatives often go into denial, so I understood.  I still got frustrated with her, though!

After reading book 2 in this series, I bought the first one. I can't read enough by her.  I hope she comes out with more books fast!

Trauma Plan by Candace Calvert

I love books set in the medical scene.  I love medical shows.  For some reason, it fascinates me.  However, I hate it when people write books set in a medical scene and either write with lots of medical jargon that many people don't understand or they write with no clue about how the medical field works.  I had never read anything by Candace Calvert but I was a little hesitant in checking out this book purely because I thought it would be a disaster due to past experiences.  I'm so excited to say that this book exceeded my expectations and I fell in love with Candace's writing and with the characters in this book.  I can't wait for the next book in the series to come out.  I really hope that some of the main characters are carried out throughout the entire series.  I found myself incredibly sad, yet happy at the ending.  Candace is a former ER nurse and has tons of knowledge.  However, she does a great job at not including a lot of medical jargon without explaining it and doesn't create unrealistic problems and incidents within the hospital setting.  She writes from experience with the main character, as well, which I think enhances the character, Riley.

Riley had an incident that has caused her to stop working in the ER as a nurse.  However, that doesn't stop her heart from longing to be back in the ER and she works hard to obtain her goal.  Jack is running from some things in his past and has to find a way to clean up his clinic's name from some bad events happening on his property and in the well-to-do neighborhood located next to his clinic.  When Jack meets Riley and finds out her last name and her connection to a foundation, he realizes this is just the key.  So he offers Riley a chance to work at his clinic, which she jumps on because it's a chance for her to practice her skills.  With each other using each other to obtain their goals, romance is bound to happen.  However, when Jack's past is dug up, will Riley be able to put her past aside and accept Jack?  Or will she really believe that he's done what he's accused of doing?  Will anyone be able to help clear Jack's name?

I've already downloaded the first book in one of her other series so I'm excited to start that series now!  I'm so glad that I found a writer who feeds my desire to read anything medical and keeps it clean!  Thanks Candace!
