WEDNESDAY REVIEW -The Cardiologist's Open Heart

 Good morning, friends!

You had the opportunity to meet Pamela LaBud yesterday. If you missed that post, click back to the post HERE  .

The Cardiologist's Open Heart is Book 1 in the Medical Romance series by Pamela LaBud and it's a great read. When I finished I immediately began asking if there were more. You'll understand why in a moment.



BLURB:

After his Cardiologist father's death, heart specialist Dr. Mike Delany must deal with the his grieving dysfunctional family, the demands of his job, suspicion of involvement in his father's demise, and the beautiful but determined temporarily contracted physician Dr. Shannon Kinsey. After spending a lifetime in the shadow of his overachieving and world renown father, he must somehow pick up the pieces of his life and decide what to do next. One thing is for sure, he can't possibly fall for the beautiful woman who has entered his life.

Dr. Shannon Kinsey, recently divorced from a very successful neurosurgeon has fled her home in Chicago to go to a small but growing Florida city. With all of her money tied up in her divorce and having signed away her life, she desperately needs this job. Upon arrival she learns that though the practice contracted her, the surviving partner has plans to close the business. Under threat of legal action, she convinces Mike Delany to keep the practice going. Unfortunately, the longer she's there, the more she realizes that this man has much more to deal with than just grieving his father. Something inside him has broken . Though Shannon knows it could prove hazardous to her own chances for happiness, she means to find out what it was that has damaged him so badly and maybe help him to open his heart once and for all.

Dr. Mike Delany grew up with issues that have hardened him The last thing he wants to deal with is a pushy heart specialist, though he does note she is pretty but he doesn't have time for anything or anyone except dissolving his father's very successful practice then deciding what to do with his life. Add in two siblings who seem to always be at odds with brother Mike and you have family drama a lot of us can relate to. 

Dr. Shannon Kinsey has her own baggage to deal with.  Between an ex husband who can't take no for an answer and a mother who brings her own bit of color all the way from Chicago to Florida thinking she knows what's best for her daughter. 

I truly enjoyed this book and instantly began pestering Pamela for Book 2. She's working on it and will bring her back as soon as she has it ready to go. When you visit her website, be sure to sign up for her newsletter so you'll know when new books become available.
