Liz Jordan had the best of intentions when she decided to move back to Eastlake. She wanted to provide her twins sons with a stable home. She also hoped that the lateral move to nurse manager at the local hospital would offer her a more rewarding and less stressful work environment. She was not on the lookout for love.
Little did she know the types of obstacles she would encounter on her way to realizing these goals. Her sons immediately made friends with a local troublemaker. The hospital ward was going down hill fast with a series of unusual mistakes. It was up to her to try and turn things around. However, on her way to making improvements, she had to deal with the spiteful and conniving actions of a fellow nurse. To top things off, the man that had haunted her dreams for years was asking her out and she wasn’t sure if she could say no.
Can Liz save her sons from themselves and keep them from finding the trouble she left the city to avoid? Can she solve the mysteries that are plaguing her ward and harming her patients? Does she dare take a chance with the local’s most eligible bachelor, Jeff Carter? Can Liz and Jeff both let go of their memories and create a future together?
Ms. Walters does an excellent job capturing the multi facetted character of Liz. She is not a simple woman. She is a mother, nurse, daughter, widow, and last but not least a woman. The story flows quickly as Liz balances the demands of her many roles. The interaction between Liz and her sons offers glimpses of humor and reality as she confronts the escapades and problems all parents face. Add to that the growing relationship between Jeff and Liz as they confront the problems in the hospital and the story is a delightful quick read for any lover of contemporary romance. 4 Angels.Reviewed by: Amanda
