Review: Critical Care by Candace Calvert

Synopsis (from Goodreads)
After her brother dies in a trauma room, nurse Claire Avery can no longer face the ER. She’s determined to make a fresh start—new hospital, new career in nursing education—move forward, no turning back. But her plans fall apart when she’s called to offer stress counseling for medical staff after a heartbreaking day care center explosion. Worse, she’s forced back to the ER, where she clashes with Logan Caldwell, a doctor who believes touchy-feely counseling is a waste of time. He demands his staff be as tough as he is. Yet he finds himself drawn to this nurse educator . . . who just might teach him the true meaning of healing.

Genre: Christian, romance, medical drama

Format: ebook

This book is confusing to review. I don’t quite know where to start. Because I enjoyed it, I did. But there were some flaws.

For example, the opening scene is Claire and Logan meeting and it doesn’t go well. But then two chapters later, Claire is daydreaming about what it be like to hug and kiss him…? Like if this were a thirteen year old girl I’d understand, but a thirty-two year old woman? I’m not buying it. And Logan is no better, for a thirty-five year old man.

All that being said, I did, kind of, enjoy it. It was kind of adorable and it helped that my current celebrity crush was the perfect fan cast for Logan. I also really appreciated all the medical jargon which came from the author’s experience as a nurse.

In the end, it was a good book. I liked some of the symbolism and how it showed that God was chasing after Logan without shoving religion down your throat. I am a Christian but even I find books that are basically sermons suffocating.

Favourite character: Erin
Fictional boyfriend: N/A
