My Thoughts:
I enjoyed both of these very much and look forward to more from this author! As a big fan of medical dramas, it was great to get to read about some of the staff members' lives from a Christian fiction point of view. There wasn't an abundance of medical action. Just a nice balance as it pertained to the work lives of the characters. I enjoyed the growth of the characters and the romances that developed. The stories were somewhat connected, but could be read individually too.
