"Critical Condition" by Sandra Orchard

About this book:

  “EVERYONE'S AT RISK There's a murderer in the hospital, and nurse Tara Peterson is determined to prove it. With mysterious deaths in the cancer ward, anyone could be next. But no one wants to believe her...except for undercover agent Zach Davis. The murderer wants Tara's suspicions silenced, permanently. To protect Tara, Zach lets her in on his secret, and unwittingly into his heart. Tara and her three-year-old daughter are like the family he lost years before. Zach will risk everything to keep them safe, no matter the cost.

  Undercover Cops: Fighting for justice puts their lives-and hearts-on the line.”

My personal Rating-

{Add ½ star for those interested in a law enforcement or medical career.}

This series hasn’t been my favorite by this talented author, I did enjoy these books. {I think I wasn’t a big fan compared to her Revell book because I just couldn’t connect to the main couples.} I found all the medical parts interesting, but it didn’t hold my attention like other Sandra Orchard books. ;)

See y’all on Friday with a new review!

*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
