Calvert brings readers back into her exciting world of hospital drama in the latest installment in her Grace Medical series (Rescue Team, 2013). Lauren Barclay works as a nurse in the ER, but her full-time job is worrying about her sister, Jess. In addition to having her life revolve around her sister's whims and moods, Lauren struggles with the near-constant presence of Eli Landry, who works alongside her. There is tension between Lauren and Eli due to a shared history with Jess, but as they find themselves thrown together more and more often, they realize just how much they have in common. Both have put their lives on hold to care for their families' challenges. When a storm sweeps in, all the trouble simmering beneath the surface rises to the top, and Lauren and Eli learn that being strong doesn't always mean standing alone; in fact, faith and friends are what keep us standing in tough times. Calvert delivers again, and readers are sure to be thrilled by this novel's excitement and romance.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
