Synopsis:
E.R. nurse Noel Walker knows a thing or two about trauma, but when Officer Hunter Davis ends up as one of her patients, she might be the one in need of a gurney. Despite her attraction, Noel maintains a firm ‘no patients’ policy when it comes to dating, but as a man of the law, Hunter lives by a policy of his own: When he sets his sights on a target, he doesn’t give up until he slaps the cuffs on good and tight.

What can I say here that hasn’t already
been said when I read a J.C. Valentine story?
She is hands down one of my go-to authors when it comes to both heartfelt stories, short steamy reads or stories that threaten to burn up my kindle.
This novella falls somewhere between heartfelt and short & steamy.
On the one end we’ve not ER nurse, Noel, a woman that seems more taken with the rush of her job than the rush of romance and on the other end we’ve got Officer Hunter, a guy that given the demands of his job, pretty much reads the same way as Noel.
Both are single, and both, after a chance meeting at the hospital after Hunter is injured again, are taken by one another. But what usually happens with meetings of this sort, it appears to be a one off. Noel at the end of the shift putting it and Hunter out of her mind. At least as much as she can.
Enter the holiday Christmas party and the night that ensues once Noel appears at their door.
Their meeting is no longer just chance and even though based on the size of the story it moved at a quick pace, seems to read like fate. These two dedicated yet passionate people, they’re just meant to be and what better backdrop for that to take place than Christmas?
This story had everything I’ve come to love in a J.C. Valentine read, even with the shortened page length, delivering on the sweetness and steamy scale with a little bit of humor thrown in to keep things interesting. With two people that even though I think they’d come to terms with what looked to be a lonely holiday season, ended up with so much more.
My only complaint is that it wasn’t longer. I’m greedy and wanted even more of this couple, that’s how drawn to them I was.
If you’re a fan of the author, short stories or enjoy getting swept up in the romance of the holidays, I think you’ll enjoy this. I definitely did.
