"Engrossing and emotional story"

Genevieve is exhausted; only one month to go before she completes her residency. At an annual Memorial Day baseball game, she beans her boss, Jack, the new chief of paediatric critical care. While he is admitted to hospital for observation, Gen volunteers to look after his daughter. With her hectic race to the finish of her training, can Gen handle one more responsibility?

This book will draw you in emotionally. At first you think it will be a light-hearted romance with the hilarious sequence of hitting her boss in the head with a baseball so hard you can see the imprint of the words from the ball on his forehead. Ms. Korbel does a masterful job of showing us two people falling in love despite their best intentions and the pressure in their lives. The depth of the character development is remarkable; I really related to Gen's acceptance and frustration of her "Mom" role with her siblings that carried over to her professional life. You really empathize with Jack's need to be a better man for his patients and his daughter. And that is before we even get to the big push of the plot, which is equally well crafted and suspenseful. I had tears in my eyes at several points in this book, which was remarkable and embarrassing considering I was on the subway--the story is that engrossing. I highly recommend this book.
