4 1/2 Stars! ~ From the time Cassandra St. James was three years old, she’d been thoroughly entranced by Vidal, demanding all of his attention; only the then 14 year old Vidal was determined not to stand out or disappoint Cassandra’s parents who had taken him in as a foster son. By the time she turned 16, Vidal knew he had to break from the St. James family or risk taking what Cassandra was beginning to offer. And for 14 years, Cassandra has resented and despised the man she thought Vidal had become. Now she’s a highly trained trauma surgeon and enlisted with the GAO (Global Aid Organization) as it’s chief surgeon and second in command of the very first Jet Hospital mission. What Cassandra hadn’t known when she signed on, was that Vidal was going to be the Mission Leader. Even before the plane leaves London, both realize the grueling three-month multi-nation mission they’ve embarked on is going to be pure hell.

There’s just something about a man who has no inkling that he’s a real hero. Vidal is sensitive of his childhood and in his opinion will never be good enough for any woman, esp. Cassandra. It takes awhile for Cassandra to recognize her prejudice and to realize Vidal is a true hero. This is a story of two souls that battle their own misconceptions of each other and of themselves and learn that their paths have been guided by destiny. This is an awesome love story, written by an awesome writer! Ms. Gates has a truly unique and fresh voice. When you read lines like this … “Dios, Cassandra, was none of it real? Did you never give me one kiss, one touch, one hug, for me? I don’t even have any of that of you? I can’t keep my memories?” ... you can’t help but feel that gut-wrenching tug.

Another unique medical drama by Olivia Gates, this time onboard a flying hospital. Vidal and Cassandra have such a complex past and so much to work through their relationship is a rollercoaster, even as the medical drama and the hostage situation their mission falls prey to escalates their passion. Amazing story and use of medical scenarios.
Again, a book that should be out there for all to find and read and I had to scavenge the internet for a used copy. Really unacceptable!

I will be honest, I avoid romances between step siblings :/ I don't like them but I wanted to give this book a chance since was wrote by one of my favorite romance author ;) and after I read the first chapters I understood where Vidal came from, so it was more easy to continue reading the story.
Cassandra St. James adores Vidal since she was a child, and she still has feelings for him as woman. She realized that when they met again for a humanitarian work with GAO in which Vidal is the mission leader. They haven't seen each other in 14 years!
During their mission Vidal and Cassandra will confront many situations that will help to grow up their relationship. I loved how strong and smart were both characters, the chemistry between them was real, the medical dialogues during the surgery scenes were awesome.
Olivia Gates provide us another beautiful, strong and alfa male hero as usually (I love them especially their ages, Vidal is 42 :3 )

Great book! I missed an Epilogue with a cute little baby ;)
