Australian army surgeon, Captain Beth Harper was glad the stressful and lengthy surgery on the badly injured soldier had been successful – she was waiting for him to regain consciousness to try to find out who he was. With no dog tags or anything else to identify him, she and her team were hoping he would be able to tell them soon. But the disturbance in the recovery ward had her hurrying to his side – his volatile return to consciousness was a shock but her nurses managed to keep him controlled Australian army surgeon, Captain Beth Harper was glad the stressful and lengthy surgery on the badly injured soldier had been successful – she was waiting for him to regain consciousness to try to find out who he was. With no dog tags or anything else to identify him, she and her team were hoping he would be able to tell them soon. But the disturbance in the recovery ward had her hurrying to his side – his volatile return to consciousness was a shock but her nurses managed to keep him controlled.

Learning his name was Sergeant Nate Calloway was all Beth discovered, because he couldn’t remember how he got to the hospital; what happened to him or why. He desperately wanted to return to his unit though, plus his bomb detection dog, Finnegan without delay. And he was prepared to do anything he could to make that happen – even though his injuries were severe and he couldn’t be moved anytime in the near future.

As Beth headed into the dangerous and unknown to accompany Nate and other soldiers on a search and rescue mission, she had no idea the danger they were about to face. Only there as Nate’s medical professional, which was the condition he was allowed to leave the hospital, nevertheless Beth was prepared. But the danger surrounded them – insurgents – and traitors – among them. What would be the outcome in a situation which was extremely critical? And would Beth ever see her family back home in Australia again?

Situation Critical is the debut novel by Aussie author Amanda Knight and is set in the hot and desolate war zones of Afghanistan. I felt a little let down though, as there was no intrigue or mystery about the bad guy/s – it was all given to the reader in full detail, quite early in the piece. I’m not sure why the author felt the need to “tell all” when she did, but that aside, the plot is a good one. Finnegan, the bomb detection dog, is gorgeous, though he doesn’t feature a lot. A romantic suspense novel, Situation Critical is worth recommending.

With thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my digital copy to read and review.

MS Knight has nailed this story, her debut and it’s a beauty, fast paced great setting military hero and a strong and caring Doctor heroine.
