Before becoming a writer, Webber worked as a teacher, a travel agent, a pig farmer, and the coordinator of a respite care service. In 1992, she began to write medical romances. She allowed herself two years to become published, and within the first year she sold a novel. Since then, she has taught a romance writing course at Technical and Further Education College, helping her to analyze her own work.
I usually like this author's books, but this one missed the mark for me. I had one major problem in particular with the H.
He spent most of the book angry. Everytime something happened he didn't like or the h said something he didn't like, he got mad. He scowled and glared, let his anger overtake any other thoughts, he shut down conversations, and gave her the silent treatment. Often, she didn't even know what it was that made him so angry. The nurses at the hospital even mentioned the times he would get angry at work.
I have a hard time believing in any sort of HEA for any relationship with him. If he is going to mad and shut down every time something doesn't go his way, these two are in for a long, miserable marriage.
This might be an example of an author's attempt to create a character sketch with flaws being taken too far. Men with this kind of anger issue are huge red flags, not Heroes.
