description: Everybody loves Katie; with her bubbly personality her beauty her never-ending supply of care and support for her patients and friends and her huge sense of fun theres very little to dislike. Yes shes a bit scatty she tends not to sweat the small stuff (like an engine light on her dashboard  that is until her Mini wont actually start any more) and she can talk the hind legs off a donkey but none of that stops most people from thinking shes pretty damn adorable. Well most people other than Sam that is. Sam is anything but bubbly. His surly demeanour is the complete opposite of Katie's and over the six years that shes known him one thing has become very clear: Sam cannot stand her. The fact that he makes her nervous doesnt help the situation. Around Sam her verbal diarrhoea seems ten times worse the snort that she tries to hold in when she laughs refuses to be suppressed and her clumsiness assumes clown-like proportions. If only he werent quite so intimidating she might be able to act like a normal human being but his sheer masculine beauty is enough to throw her off before shes even spoken to him. Then theres the fact that he looks at her like shes something hes scraped off his shoe. The combination is enough to short-circuit her brain. Katie may be bubbly and bright but unfortunately her past is not and its started leaking into her present. She hides her fear from her friends as they have problems of their own but when Sam finds out the potential danger shes in for some reason he is furious. Then again theres a reason Sam is the way he is. He has his own demons to contend with. Shutting himself off and burying his pain has been working well for him over the last six years since leaving the Special Forces so the last thing he wants is to spend any time with the one woman that cuts through the numbness he surrounds himself with and actually makes him feel again. But he simply cant stand by if Katie is in danger; he cant allow her to be hurt. Unfortunately there are other ways to be hurt and by getting closer to Katie Sam may inflict more damage than her past ever could. Because Sam is damaged and some things are beyond repair. This is a full-length contemporary romance / romantic comedy with its own HEA and no cliffhanger. Warning  Beyond Repair differs from Susies other books in that there is some violence within the story. If this combined with some swearing at times is not for you then it may not be your cup of tea. Author Background Susie Tate is a general practitioner now but she has also spent years working in hospital medicine. This the first of her books to be set in general practice and she hopes that it will give readers a feel for what its like behind the scenes as well as being a funny at times heartbreaking story.
