REVIEW: Saving Christmas For the ER Doctor by Kate Hardy

Saving Christmas For the ER Doctor by Kate Hardy: Rachel was supposed to have an induction day with HR for her new job as an Emergency Department doctor. Instead, she is thrown right into the fray of trauma cases. Tim who is the head doctor helps her jump in and find ways to circumvent some of the preliminary requirements. Rachel had wanted a new start in her career path. Her children are grown and she has finally left a difficult marriage.

Tim has a troubled past. He blames himself for his wife’s death because he was too busy with a case and wasn’t with her. It doesn’t really matter to him that her severe allergic reaction doomed her anyway.
Besides the grief of his wife’s death, Tim has dealt with his father’s attitude that made him feel that he never measured up. One of the bright spots in his current life is he is about to become a grandfather thanks to one of his daughters.

After working well together, Rachel and Tim become very close. Can Tim let Rachel be part of his life during this Christmas season or will that interfere with the time he needs to spend with his daughters?
This tale was another one where the hero and heroine were middle-aged and had been through many life experiences. I love this trend in storytelling. The author did a fabulous job at showing how Rachel and Tim had agonized with many issues in an effort to finally move on. Their daughters were truly charming in efforts to pull off a lovely Christmas.

There is plenty of drama with quite a few emergency ER cases that ring true and authentic. Harlequin Medical Romances show that happy endings can be mixed in with those that don’t make it despite heroic efforts. The mixture of romance, family issues and Christmas make this book one that makes you keep turning the pages without stopping.
