*,
By lenkalotte - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trauma Alert (Paperback)
I swear I've read about characters like these a gazillion times in her previous novels and I'm pretty sure I've read entire passages from this book in her previous books as well.
She's written some really good romances, but not this one. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

Strong Romance,
By Jem - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trauma Alert (Paperback)
I was familiar with Radclyffe by name, but had never read any of her work before now. I was under the impression that she wrote historical fiction, but "Trauma Alert" is without doubt a contemporary romantic drama. And it is very well done - I can see why Radclyffe is so popular and prolific. The author quickly built a realistic setting; she obviously did her research and I felt like I was observing real medical professionals. The main characters are believable, and fully developed. I felt real suspense when they were involved in emergency rescues, or surgeries, and kept me turning the virtual pages to see what would happen next.
I also appreciated that the characters didn't immediately fall into lust-filled gazes, and heightened sexual urges the moment their eyes met. The two women assessed each other, and continued with their professional responsibility like real people do. Not every romance has to start with earth shattering sexual attraction. The two women are polar opposites with their own baggage, and masks protecting who they really are inside. That is not to say that the story has no steam - this is a healthy book, not a novella parading as a novel, so readers have time to see a relationship build. One of the best things about the writing is the way characters are matter-of-fact about their sexuality. A gay couple is treated as almost ordinary in the story, which is a refreshing break from the angst gay romances usually have. I am not sure if this is typical of F/F, or this author in particular but it was nice. Recommended. 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful:

A Good Read,
By luvshoes - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trauma Alert (Paperback)
I have read a number of Radclyffe's books and found this one to be enjoyable. I do not think that this is one of her best works, but it is a good read. I thought that I could relate to the story, since I am a Firefighter/medic, but I had a hard time believing the fire scenes. You would never enter a known drug house without police present, or go into a fire alone. Yes, I know, it is fiction. I did like both Ali and Beau's characters and thought that their relationship developed realisticly. I also enjoy the fact that Radclyffe does bring past characters back and that you get a follow up on them. If you like Radclyffe, this is worth reading.
