A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Diana Coyle
Five years ago Dr. Michelle Benoit made a hard decision of leaving her cardiac surgical residency and promised herself she would never again get emotionally attached to a patient or fall in love with someone who had no heart. Now unfortunately, her research career depends on the assistance of the man she left behind years ago, but wants her desperately back into his life and feels that she also belongs back in the operating room again.
Dr. Kyle Richards doesn’t realize just how complicated things will be working side by side again with Michelle helping her with her research. Wanting her back in his life again is a big risk for him, but isn’t she worth taking that risk this time around? Does he finally admit how he feels for her after all these years?
I found this story to be an okay read. I loved the blurb, but when I started reading the story I found myself disconnected from the characters and the storyline. I had a problem submerging myself in this story and was disappointed that the storyline moved quite slowly for my taste. Overall, this story and the characters just didn’t work for me.

When Dr Michelle Benoit abandoned her cardiac surgical residency five years ago, she swore she'd never again become emotionally involved with patient or fall in love with a man who was all charm and no heart. But now her research career depends on the cooperation of the lover she left behind -- the exciting surgeon who wants her back in the operating room…and his life.
Dr Kyle Richards never gives up where his patients or his career is concerned. Focused on medical challenges, he ignores the emotional side of life -- until he agrees to help with Michelle's research study. Working side by side with her reminds him how much he's missing. He's willing to rekindle their romance, but she wants more than a short-term affair. To keep her from walking away again, he'll have to admit how much he cares. Can he buck the past and fight to keep her by his side? And what will it take to prove that he's always loved her?
