Alex Margulies is a self-driven chief attending physician in the emergency department of a large community medical center. She is fierce and merciless with her staff, expecting the same tireless dedication from her peers as she does from herself.

Driven by her recent failures, Alex struggles to put her troubled past behind her. With the annual influx of new residents to the hospital, the she meets one of her new charges, Regina Kingston, a bright, young, promising doctor. Before long, Regina finds herself irresistibly drawn to the enigmatic physician despite the woman's fiery personality and maligned reputation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Engaging Story Well Told, February 26, 2003
Regina Kingston, a new hospital resident, is a woman on the edge: in addition to being on the edge of completing her training to become a full-fledged doctor, she's also on the edge of realizing she's not straight, a fact about which her insensitive boyfriend has not been informed. When Regina joins the ER at St. Xavier's for her final rotation in the emergency services area, she's in for a lot more trauma and surprise than just the medical aspects.

Regina's chief attending doctor is Alex Margulies, a mercilessly driven perfectionist who possessing an unexpected past and an entire doctor's kit full of emotional issues. Her friendship with Regina comes as a complete surprise to her, and as it grows in intensity, Alex has serious choices to make. She's kept her past at bay for years, but if she is to have a future with Regina, she must face the consequences of her old life.

With the backdrop of internecine political battles, medical crises, the daily grind of long hours in the ER, and the constant responsibility of saving lives and losing patients, two women seek to forge a connection. Will their mutual attraction be thwarted by outside forces, both past and present?

The author writes with authority about the medical situations faced in a busy ER, and much of the book reads like a gripping and entertaining season's worth of episodes of Chicago Hope or ER. An inviting debut from a talented writer, Second Chances is highly recommended for fans of well-written lesbian drama.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific read!, May 27, 2002
By "nlport" (Central NY United States) - See all my reviews
This was a great book, and I've read a lot of lesbian romance. Ongoing side stories throughout the book come together beautifully in the end and the rapid convergence leaves you breathless! Alex and Regina were made for each other and I, for one, look forward to a sequel! Alright........let's start chanting......Sequel! Sequel! Sequel!
Great job, Ms Norris.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gripping, April 13, 2003
I debated for a while how to rate this book. I finally settled on 4 stars because of two issues I have with this book. 1) It was sometimes difficult to determine the passage of time between sections. You would think days had passed, just to find out it was only hours, or vice versa. 2) There were several unresolved problems at the end (sequel anyone? <g>)
The medical scenes were gripping and so well written you felt like you were in the ER watching.

1.0 out of 5 stars More uber-xena
If this hadn't been uber-xena, it would have been a decent, albeit pedestrian read. Adding the repetitive mantra of "tall, dark-haired" or "short blond woman" made this yet... Read more

There's nothing particularly bad about this book but it's not a "great" read either. The storyline will keep you engaged and it is certainly good light entertainment. Read more
