"Is it too much to ask that you pass slowly instead of passing through?" I wanted the time I was reading this book to pass slowly because I did not want this book to end! I laughed and cried, and my heart almost stopped at one point!This roller coaster starts out with Dr. Jackson O'Neil being ordered around by some strange woman rolling into the ER on a stretcher with her finger in a man's chest wound. Little did he know that this bossy woman was actually his new boss! The new Chief of Surgery, Dr. Max Taylor.As if being a handsome surgeon isn't swoon-worthy enough, Jackson is also a Captain in the United States Army. This makes him the object of many of the female staff members of North Seattle General affection. He's good looking, and he knows it. He has been rumored to be a womanizer.Dr. Max Taylor came from a long line of doctors, and she finds herself always trying to measure up to her parent's expectations. Her traveling the world volunteering and helping others with her medical expertise is a way for her to run from forming any kind of relationships or intimacies. She was always running.What I loved most about the relationship that developed between Jackson and Max was that is did not seem forced. The banter that these two got into had me rolling laughing at times. They were very natural together.As Jackson and Max got to know each other, Max kept insisting that she was just passing by, she wasn't staying, that isn't what she does. Jackson tries to figure out what Max is running from. They find out that they have more in common than they expected, and that they have crossed paths before. They may have a second chance to become part of each other's lives.I would highly recommend this to anyone who would love to read a romance that touches your heart on more than one level. Jackson and Max are extremely believable characters, and their story is one that I will not soon forget.
