    About this ebook

    Dr. Nicole Coussart and Katie Finan seem to have no common thread, but the one they discover will change both of their lives. Nic has lived a privileged life as the only child of two physicians, but she’s not happy. Her career as an ER doctor isn’t just like on TV, and she’s convinced she’ll never find a woman who lives up to her high expectations. Katie has struggled since running away from home as a teenager. Now the father of her children has been shot and the killer is after her. As these two women’s worlds become tangled, a secret is uncovered that sends Nic spinning into the arms of DEA Attorney Rae Rhodes. Rae helps Nic make decisions that redefine her life as she learns to live and laugh and love for the first time.

    Jaime Maddox

    Jaime Maddox grew up on the banks of the Susquehanna River in Northeastern Pennsylvania. As the baby in a family of many children, she was part adored and part ignored, forcing her to find creative ways to fill her time. Her childhood was idyllic, spent hiking, rafting, biking, climbing, and otherwise skinning knees and knuckles. Reading and writing became passions. Although she left home for a brief stint in the big cities of Philadelphia, PA, and Newark, NJ, as soon as she acquired the required paperwork—a medical degree and residency certificate—she came running back.She fills her hours with a bustling medical practice, two precocious sons, a disobedient dog, and an extraordinary woman who helps her to keep it all together. In her abundant spare time, she reads, writes, twists her body into punishing yoga poses, and whacks golf balls deep into forests. She detests airplanes, snakes, and people who aren’t nice. Her loves are the foods of the world, Broadway musicals, traveling, sandy beaches, massages and pedicures, and the Philadelphia Phillies.On the bucket list: Publishing a novel, publishing a children’s book, recording a song, creating a board game, obtaining a patent, exploring Alaska

      Whoa. That was quite a ride.Before I started the book I'll admit that I was a bit confused by the title, but, I assumed that since it was a lesbian romance novel that perhaps those falling in love would have something in common. Boy was I wrong, and I was wrong in only the best possible way. What I got instead was an infinitely more interesting and complicated story line.There were multiple parts to the story line as well. First, the story of Katie and her two kids. She worked at a Medical clinic, her kids' father just got out of prison, and is being quite the pain in Katie's butt. She also has a friend named Jet, and that's one of the questions asked in the narrative. Will Katie and Jet stay friends or become more.The second story was of Nicole. She was an ER doctor, adopted, and at the beginning of the book she seemed to be quite the unrepentanting bitch. Her best friend Louis sort of introduced her to his next door neighbor Rae, and although at the beginning it was a bit rocky for the two of them, each thinking that the other was quite the jerk, that story turned out to be one of my favorites in the book.There were also smaller stories, we got to see quite a bit about a guy named Simon Simms who was knee deep in the thriller part of the novel, and we also even got a brief look into the life of one of the police detectives, Detective Young. Both those stories were great, as well as giving the reader a brief break from all the craziness of the two main characters.One thing I really liked about the book was that there were so many different relationships in the novel, from a godmother/goddaughter relationship, to romantic relationships, friendships of different sorts, as well as familial relationships of all kinds also. I thought that they were all well written, not to mention each relationship was in a different stage of the relationship (from getting to know you to we've been together for awhile).I also liked how it was a thriller, Maddox making the reader guess where in the world she was going to go next.All in all I really liked the book. It was a quick fun read even though it wasn't a short short book, and I was pulled into the story from the very first chapter.I got this advanced galley through Netgalley on behalf of Bold Strokes Books.
