My review on www.bookread2day.wordpress.com
Wow! This my first Medical book that I have read by Mills & Boon. I have read a lot of books by Mills & Boon as the book company is one my top favourite and priority in reading. Now I want to perfectly honest and tell readers why I exactly haven’t read any Mills & Boon medical fiction, it’s simply as I have watched a medical drama once on TV and found it so frightening watching all the patients that came into A&E with dramatic complications. Now I have been brave enough to read a Mills & Boon Medical drama fiction book, loving One Night To Change Their Lives by Tina Beckett, I’m hungry for more medical fiction from Mills & Boon. Quite frankly these books are not frightening at all. I enjoyed reading all about the two main characters. Adelina Santini who works in the Emergency Department at Miami’s Grace Hospital in Florida is in the process of divorcing her husband after finding him cheating on her. Garret Stapleton hospital administrator had seen his marriage slip apart. Both Addy and Garret have something in common. Addy invites Garret to join her on the beach to do some surfing. Something that Addy can’t seem to stop is having a crush on her boss Garret. Maybe some passion will happen on the beach between them. I do hope that you all enjoy reading One Night To Change Their Lives by Tina Beckett book, as much as what I have.

One Night to Change Their Lives by Tina Beckett.
Well, talk about giving a spoiler in the book's blurb. Personally, I would have kept the pregnancy quiet and let the readers have the surprise that the characters had. But there you go, now you can understand the title, the one night which changes their life is the one where Addy Santini gets pregnant.
Addy is an ER doctor. She is currently divorcing her soon to be ex-husband after finding out he was unfaithful to her. To keep her mind off it all she has been doing a lot of overtime. So much so that one of the hospital administrators has noticed and is worried that she is doing too much.
Garret Stapleton used to be a top rate neurosurgeon, but burning the candle at both ends ended with him crashing his car and ruining his ability to do that job. That's how he finds himself as a hospital administrator, and it is why he is so concerned about Addy's overtime. He doesn't want her to end up putting her life or those of her patients at risk.
Addy has had a crush on Garret for a while, after all, he is gorgeous! If he's honest, Garret feels an attraction to Addy as well, but neither would dream of doing anything about it. Not with both of them having so much baggage between them, plus the fact that they work together. They do however spend time together as 'friends' when Addy decides that Garret needs to take some R&R too. She invites him to go surfing with her and he accepts. She will have to teach him how to do it though because he has never surfed before. Time spent together on the beach with both of them in just swimwear soon has them both feeling hot under the collar.
The more time they spend together the more they start to feel for each other, but the baggage that they both have is keeping them apart. So what will they do when they discover that Addy is pregnant. Garret has already said he doesn't want children, so will he up and leave his job, and Addy before he can become too attached to Addy and the new baby when it's born. It's a real dilemma for him and rather than feeling angry about his attitude I couldn't help but feel sorry for him and hoped that he could see past the failures and heartbreak of his past and look forward to a future with Addy and his new baby.
This was a nice quick read which I really enjoyed. I love Mills and Boon medical romances. Not only do you have lovely romantic stories but you also have a few medical procedures that are always fascinating. This book had all that but also the fun bonus of reading about Garret learning to surf. That was great fun to read. I really loved this book and am happy to recommend it.

I was expecting more from this story. For the first time in a very long time, I struggled to connect to the main characters. I did not feel any chemistry and the plot left incredibly predictable. The writing wasn't bad, but unfortunately, this was not for me.

I'm trying to think of how to summarize this book but it would probably sound generic so I'll go straight to the review. Overall this was a pretty nice read, very predictable with minimal differences from many other books I've come across and yet I enjoyed this book all the same. It was short, sweet and simple little romance and honestly I was just hoping for more out of this book.

I have to admit, I really love medical romances, especially when both hero and heroine are medical professionals, so I was kind of predisposed to enjoy this book. It didn’t disappoint—both main characters are likeable and the ER setting was really exciting.
Former New York neurosurgeon Garret is now a hospital administrator in South Beach, Florida after the death of his daughter, divorce from his wife, and a devastating accident that took away his surgery career. He’s pretty closed emotionally until he accidentally walks in on ER doctor Addy, who drops a valuable pearl necklace. Addy is trying to clean up the clutter in her house, her mind, and her heart, after filing divorce from her cheating husband. Giving the pearls to the hospital charity auction is her way of making a clean break, but the close encounter with the boss she’s been attracted to for three years is a bit unnerving, especially when she has to explain the pearls.
Garret was a fantastic character, with a richly emotional backstory that really made me like him. Addy was excellent at her job and sweet and encouraging to the hero, but I didn’t quite click with her character as well, perhaps because at times she seemed a bit too perfect. Maybe that was the reason I didn’t really feel their sexual tension, and their sleeping together didn’t really take me along emotionally in their relationship.
Garret’s emotional journey was very well done, however, and I kept reading to find out how things turned out. The ending was very sweet and satisfying, and I enjoyed the book overall.
Thanks to Harlequin and Netgalley for the e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Adelina ‘Addy’ Santini and Garret Stapleton aren’t looking for a relationship. Not after all they’ve been through in their pasts with Adelina’s husband cheating on her and Garret losing his family tragically. Still, Garret finds it hard to keep his distance, especially since he doesn’t want Addy to lose as much as he has when it comes to their professional lives. Will Addy and Garret give each other a chance or will they lose their shot at happy ever after? Read More

Absolutely fantastic book and beautiful read, Ms Beckett most definitely has not disappointed, this story is definitely a roller coaster of emotions and at times I cried myself at their plights, this book definitely proves that Love is the Best Medicine always

Not your typical baby romance. This one doesn't just focus on the fact that she gets pregnant. It continues to include the every day things that occur along with this time. Drama, heartache, and love fully collide continuously throughout this book.

A decent romance, typical fare. A little one-dimensional. For most of the book, each character had just one point of inner conflict and that stopped building tension pretty quickly. Still, the story was good and I liked the characters. A quick, easy read.

I could not get my self to fall in love with the main characters for the life of me. I wanted to love this book , it has great potential but it fell flat for me.
