What do you do when your carefully planned life takes a wrong turn into hell?
When Quinn Maguire, a dashing young trauma surgeon, unaccountably accepts a position as an ER physician, her new boss, Honor Blake, suspects that Quinn is hiding a dark secret. While the two declare an uneasy truce in an effort to work together, both struggle with mutual, and unexpected, attraction. Honor, however, has more than one reason to resist her growing feelings for the attractive newcomer—not the least of which is that her heart belongs to the woman whose wedding ring she wears.
Amidst the chaos and drama of a busy emergency room, Quinn and Honor must contend not only with the fragile nature of life, but also with the mysteries of the heart and the irresistible forces of fate.

About the Author
Radclyffe is a two-time recipient (2003, 2004) of the Alice B. award for Lesbian Fiction and has written numerous lesbian romances (Safe Harbor and its sequel Beyond the Breakwater, Innocent Hearts, Love’s Melody Lost, Love’s Tender Warriors, Tomorrow’s Promise, Passion’s Bright Fury, Love’s Masquerade, shadowland, and Fated Love), as well as two romance/intrigue series: the Honor series (Above All, Honor; Honor Bound; and Love & Honor) and the Justice series (Shield of Justice, the prequel A Matter of Trust, In Pursuit of Justice, and Justice in the Shadows).
She lives with her partner, Lee, in Philadelphia, PA where she both writes and practices surgery full-time. She states, "I began reading lesbian fiction at the age of twelve when I found a copy of Ann Bannon’s Beebo Brinker. Not long after, I began collecting every book with lesbian content I could find. The new titles come much faster now than they did in the decades when a new book or two every year felt like a gift, but I still treasure every single one. These works are our history and our legacy, and I am proud to contribute in some small way to those archives."

Love Story for (lez) Breeders and Grievers
By M.T.
This soap opera follows two hot doctors who fall in love amidst life in a busy ER.
Quinn Maguire is the sexy black-haired, blue-eyed butch and ER newcomer. Despite being a mere 28, she's a rising-star surgeon who somehow *ends up* in the ER.
Honor Blake (early 30s?) is Quinn's ER boss, a beautiful brown-haired femme with a sharp mind, uncanny medical instincts, and a wedding ring on her finger. She suspects a catch like Quinn in the ER trenches is probably based on some kind of misconduct and doesn't exactly welcome her with open arms.
This lays the groundwork for some resistance, despite the attraction between these two. Needlesstosay, there is plenty of sexual tension.
The power play is minimal so if you're entertaining fantasies about having a hot boss who lusts for you but shows it by being mean to you (heh heh)... well, Radclyffe doesn't quite run with that one as much as she could have. These characters are just too nice to go there. But the idea is still there, somewhat.
This also isn't a story about a cheating spouse, so don't be put off by the wedding ring.
This is a very sappy love story. But hey, sappy can be pretty juicy to indulge in if it's well-done and you're in the mood... and this one will keep you turning pages. It is about loss, grieving, and living with all the uncertainties of life. But it's also a story about family and friendships and renewal. These two characters both come to the table with issues of the heart and they both seem to hold what the other needs to heal. In this way, they seem made for each other at this particular point in time.
It is a very well-written story on the whole. Despite sappy and a bit over the top with family values and how to talk to/treat your kid and such, Radclyffe knows how to bring her characters to life and make you care for them. Her magic is in the details and how these everyday encounters can be so full of emotion and characterization.
What's more, Radclyffe's background as a surgeon allows her to create a very realistic medical setting and all the drama is consequently plausible and interesting.
Negatives? Well I've read she does like a certain kind of formula in her work. I don't think Radclyffe ever writes depressing endings or permits them much at Bold Strokes Books (where she is the prez). But then who needs those? We have plenty in our literary history and it's refreshing to have so many options for positive characters and endings. I can definitely see some common characters/storyline threads already in what I've read from her, but so far I don't mind. I mean, I watched the series House for years before it got tired... and that show is formula galore. But the writing and characters were just too awesome and we just love that formula and are addicted to that formula, so who cares. It's kinda like that. KINDA. I can't say Radclyffe gets it right every time... but she sure hit the spot with this one.
However, I wonder if all of her stories favor making her butch the most appealing and sexy character. I would have liked to see more descriptions of Honor Blake that highlighted her femininity. I did enjoy seeing the contrasts in the way Quinn and Honor were created though. Quinn is butch, athletic, and great with her hands, but Honor maintained quite a bit of dominance between them. Quinn was just a little too nice for me... it would have been more intriguing to see her more aggressive in some scenes. I think the author actually tried, but she just came off as passive.
Radclyffe does have a very sexy imagination. She adds a very generous dose of sexual tension and actual sex... it's a nice balance to sappy, sappy, and more sappy, lol.
But sometimes her sexual descriptions are a tad vague and I had to reread to visualize something... and not just in this book. And I just don't know about the thigh sex, lol... I don't think this position plays out as well in books as it does in person... when you're like 13 and puberty is in full swing and you're aroused by anything, lol. Hmm... at some point, I, for one, would like her to drop in a few strap on play dynamics to change things up a bit.
I also have to say a few synonyms for *husky* (as in husky voice, which these characters constantly have) would do wonders in seducing my ears... Radclyffe does seem to have some favorite vocabulary here... same holds true for fist, jolt, quizzically... but then I'm just one of those close readers who stops to notice and appreciate word choice.
I think Radclyffe could have done a better job with both Mandy and Phyllis. Sometimes her secondary characters seem present for one superficial purpose and don't get the complexity and originality they deserve from a writer like Radclyffe (just noticed the same thing for Mae in Innocent Hearts). Mandy was just ridiculous and embarrassing and I sorta questioned Radclyffe's ability to develop really femmy characters who don't turn out to be caricatures or drag-like. And she could have done better at the more toned-down femmes... like Honor, who is clearly NOT butch but was almost always dressed in t-shirts, polos, and cargo shorts. I saw her as much more womanly, feminine, and classy for that attire (hey, she is the boss!)... and someone like Quinn is going to like those more feminine things. I guess some romance writers seem to write best in what gender they identify or idealize of themselves (hence the hot butches you love in her stories).
And if I were really going to get critical, I'd pick at the writer`s choice to develop such ethics in these people when it comes to family and friends... but they all sure cross lines professionally, lol.. Vice-principal Phyillis and the Art teacher, Mandy's creepy flirtations with clients at work, and of course our hot boss, Honor, and her thing for a subordinate doc.
But I guess that's lez romance or light reading for you. I know you just have to suspend your disbelief when you are reading formulaic lesbian romances... so mostly these criticisms don't matter much and basically I just enjoyed the ride. I just have an over-analytical mind and notice these things even if I really enjoyed a book. I just put them aside.
It`s definitely a top-notch read in the world of lez fiction. It's probably a 4 star book if you dwell on the flaws... but since I really came to love these main characters overall and because it's one of the only books I happened to read while abroad (somehow everything seems better and more vivid when you're reading English in a foreign country and your mind is quiet), I just had fun with it and it's an easy 5 on my scale for fun reading.
I am just beginning to explore this author, but it's clear from what I've read so far and seen in other reviews that this writer is a star in the lez romance genre. Moreover, if you fall in love with her characters, she seems to like to give them cameos and bigger parts in some of her other works, so that seems to be a nice treat.
I'm looking forward to reading more of Radclyffe and revisiting Quinn and Blake in Night Call and Saxon Sinclair in Passion's Bright Fury.

An excellent book with depth and passion, 3-1/2 stars
By B. Rabkeb
You know what you are getting with Radclyffe: a well-written, well-edited, multi-dimensional romance with characters dealing with disappointments or painful pasts, leading to an ultimately happy ending. This is a tried and true formula, and curling up with one of these books is a delight.
As far as specifics regarding this novel, I love it when Radclyffe uses a medical setting, because she's able to so deftly make it a realistic and interesting world. Quinn was an intriguing character with a bit of a mystery surrounding her undisclosed health reasons for leaving her surgical career. Honor was a sympathetic character in trying to deal with her grief, and balance a family and professional life. Chemistry sparked, but even beyond that the gentle way Quinn pursued inserting herself into Honor's life, her delight with Arly (Honor's daughter), the way she just couldn't help but pursue this woman despite the fact that she clearly had issues, all these elements combined to create a rich narrative.
This book sets itself apart with the realistic or unflinching way it deals with falling in love again after having lost a previous partner. The pacing lags a touch as the characters sometimes seem to be endlessly retreading the same ground on issues. But I appreciate the weight that this author gives to serious themes, versus just glossing over them like a less-experienced author might in order to get to the "real" story, while ending up missing the real story.
The themes of moving on after great loss are represented in a variety of ways, through both Honor's grief and Quinn's coping with finding new ways to embrace happiness apart from the career she'd dreamed of having. This whole set-up was rife with believable road-blocks to happiness for our protagonists, ones it was fulfilling to follow them in overcoming. We also get a delightful little interlude in the end with Sax Sinclair and Jude from "Passion's Bright Fury" as a bonus.
A very good read, as was expected, and a book I'll be keeping in my collection.

just when one stops believing that true love -- for a second time -- is possible
By mephurst
Radclyffe is flawless in her writing style. I preferred this one over "passion's bright fury" because the author delve deeper into the heart of matters in lieu of the medicine -- less about all of the patients and medical terms and more about the slow, lasting development of love to replace long-held pain & sorrow. I appreciated the pleasant surprise by Radclyffe: adding her other beloved main characters to this one by the book's end -- smart choice. overall: passion, redemption, love, family and released pain flood as themes of this really terrific book. highly recommend
