Book Description

Series: Code Red (Harlequin) | Publication Date: January 1, 2005

A vicious storm. Trees and power lines are down. A sick, pregnant young woman walks into E.R.--alone and about to give birth. Dr. Rachel Browne saves the baby. The mother isn't so lucky....

E.R. chief Dr. Guy Giroux is shocked. His ex-wife's eighteen-year-old daughter has died during childbirth--in his E.R. He didn't even know she was pregnant. Guy confronts Dr. Rachel Browne, demanding answers. Rachel could be stubborn, obstinate and downright hardheaded--but faced with Guy's grief and anger she's disarmingly calm, compassionate...even tender. And as Guy and Rachel hunt down the truth, Guy realizes how much he wants to keep the baby...and how much he wants Rachel, too.

It hasn't taken me this long to finish a book since my age hit double digits, and all because watching paint dry would have been more interesting. The most exciting part of the whole book was the first chapter because there was a big storm and a busy night in the ER. Dr. Rachel Browne is on duty and delivers the baby of a young woman who wanders into the ER. The baby is tiny and has many health concerns, and the mother dies. She just happened to have been the estranged stepdaughter of ER chief Guy Giroux. Guy, who has been Rachel's boss for some time, goes to question her about his stepdaughter's death, and the two doctors are immediately attracted. We endure the requisite "we can't date I'm your boss" objection before the real issue lumbers in: Rachel is afraid to feel. Yup, that's a new one-not. And clumsily executed. There may be someone somewhere who cares about the angst suffered by two overworked doctors whose work always precluded their social lives until one day love drifted through the cracks, but I doubt it. The story limped along on the premise that our doctors were searching for the man responsible for the young woman's death, but all the truly interesting things were happening somewhere else, and our heroes found out about it later. Guy was too busy quitting his job so he could adopt his stepdaughter's unhealthy baby, and Rachel was too busy tiptoeing around her wittle feewings and trying to decide if dating Guy would be more fun than having no social life at all. Finally she got over it and took Guy up on his offer of a relationship so we could put this story to sleep, a condition it perpetually put me in. This is not the same Courage Bay where Jackie and Casey rescued a baby in a car accident and I couldn't put the book down, and I miss it.

I like this series as a whole. The nurse reactions of the main female character, were very well described. Makes me proud all over again to be an R.N. The interactions with the cop, both professionally and personally helped me to like them very much.
