About the author
Lucy Clark
214 books22 followersLucy Clark was born in England in the Lake District, but at the age of two, her parents decided to move to Australia and thankfully took her with them. Lucy loves the sunburst country, the land of sweeping plains, with its rugged mountain ranges and droughts and flooding rains! She recalls only happiness during her childhood, even when her two older sisters and older brother used to tease and manipulate her (like all older siblings).
She first discovered a passion for the written word when receiving excellent grades in her comprehension and English lessons and rather appalling grades for everything else. A "late bloomer" in the reading department, she would sit up until all ours of the night (or early morning) devouring one romance novel after the other. At the age of seventeen, she decided she could write one, and immediately knew she'd found her calling in life. She wrote her first manuscript, sent it over the wide, blue ocean to the offices of Mills & Boon in London and received a very nice rejection letter. The devastation set in. Dreams of becoming a well-known romance writer, of travelling the world, of book-signing tours, of international recognition…were blown away with the wind.
After meeting Peter, the man of her dreams and marrying him, Lucy decided to once more try her hand at writing a romance. While working full time in a teaching hospital as a medical secretary for two busy orthopaedic surgeons, she typed up a fresh story and submitted it for publication. Rejection again. Although by this time, she'd called for reinforcements—her romance writing group. They provided counselling (lunches) and support (dinners). Then one day she had an idea! Lucy decided to try and write a Medical Romance book in collaboration with her husband. This she did and broke through the barriers into the publishing world. Elation! Excitement! Euphoria! When she floated down from the clouds, she now realized the enormous task that lay ahead in producing further work. Planning books is now a necessity, editing is an appalling process that unfortunately must be done. Ideas, medical research, characters, situations and settings now fill most of her time…along with her family, of course.
Lucy and Peter currently live in Adelaide, Australia, and have the desire to travel the world with their children. Lucy largely credits her writing success to the support of her husband, family and friends. She looks forward to a long and happy association with her characters, her editors and her readers with only one eternal wish. That the dry sense of humor she and her husband share doesn't get her into trouble, as it often has in the past!

Beth, and Ryan were Orthopedic surgeons. Ryan is her new boss, and they both agreed that they never dated colleagues. The two were instantly attracted to one another. With both Ryan, and Beth being surgeons this was a fast pace book, taking care of patients and having very little time to get to know one another outside of the operating room. I enjoyed the medical part of this book. It was not too gory, but it did have a lot of medical acronyms thrown in.
Beth was a miracle. She was a normal size child born to both of her parents being dwarfs. Both her parents loved her very much. She was very protective of her parents. Beth was known for speed dating. If the guys she dated didn't pass her check list, they never got a second chance. Ryan was passing all her test, and she knew she was falling in love with him. He also was falling hard for Beth. This book had a lot of tender moments. You could tell that Ryan really did care for Beth.
This was a good story. I felt the end was a little rushed. I wished the book had a epilogue. The book left me wondering if Beth was able to have normal size babies, or if her child or children were going to be dwarfs. Not that it matters, because I know in the end that both parents would love that child no matter what. It was just a question that Beth wondered about, so I wished it was answered before the end of the book.
