Don't you love that writing? It's what keeps me reading romance novels. Lem, by the way, is Lauren's grandfather. (Just so you don't get the wrong idea.)
So what is a Christian Romance Novel, anyway? I'm not the last word in definitions, but the people at Love Inspired Books--a division of Harlequin-- are the quintessential romance publishers. Celebrating 15 years of love stories with Christian themes.
Good stories without graphic scenes!
Lately I've been noticing that while reading a book, I'm thinking about the author's style of writing and choices they make as (I imagine) they relate to the story at hand. And while I realize that, in many cases, the characters are truly a figment of the author's imagination, I find myself as a reader, thinking about who the story teller is, what kind of person they are, and why they are telling a certain story.
Cheryl Wyatt invites you into the trauma center at Eagle Point Emergency where the drama on the operating table is only the beginning. Cheryl, a real life R.N. draws upon her personal knowlege to give an authentic feel of what goes on in the E.R. It's obvious she knows her stuff.
I enjoyed getting to know main characters Dr. Mitch and Nurse Lauren, and found myself rooting for them as they faced obstacles of distance, trust, broken relationships, and personal trauma.
Thought provoking questions at the end of the book as well as a lovely note from the author (including her favorite on-line writing sites), gave me the feeling that I had just made some new friends.
Bless you, and may you find your true calling in love and life.

ABOUT THE BOOK
A Doctor’s Vow.
When he fled Eagle Point years ago, former air force trauma surgeon Mitch Wellington left only broken dreams behind. Now he’s back with a new dream—opening a trauma center in the rural area and saving lives. He hopes to hire the quick-thinking nurse who impressed him during an emergency. But Lauren Bates lost her faith and doesn’t believe she deserves to help anyone. Mitch knows firsthand what loss feels like. And it’ll take all his devotion to show Lauren that sometimes the best medicine is a combination of faith, community—and love.
Eagle Point Emergency: Saving lives—and losing their hearts—in a small Illinois town.
