Review: Medical Romance "Mystery"
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 08 31, 2012
This contemporary romance set in London turned into a terminology mystery for this 'Yank' as I had great difficulty with the medical titles for the hospital personnel and departments.I found it very distracting trying to imagine what medical duty the individual character was performing in the hospital (registrar, porter, consultant, etc.) and after a while I didn't care anymore.  How hard would it have been for the author to put an a few lines of English/American Medical glossary in the back explaining the difference between a Doctor versus a Mister?  Apparently both are medical professionals of some distinction in a London hospital, but I couldn't make heads or tails out of it.  The story was based in a hospital and I couldn't separate the story from the setting, so I was constantly being distracted by uncommon terms.With regard to the love story, I felt the ten year span was too long for the separation, but I understand it was needed for them to establish their careers.  Too many things happen in 10 years - people settle for things and move on - I felt this was too pat of a story.  Since it was a ten year span, one of them should have at least been divorced or engaged...something.I know I shouldn't expect the moon when I receive a kindle read for free, but I did spend my time...3.5 stars.
