#AD Book Review: Cinderella and the Surgeon by Scarlet Wilson

Book 1 of the London Midwives Series, Cinderella and the Surgeon follows the storyline of hot tempered Scottish midwife, Esther Mcdonald clashing with upper class neonatal Surgeon  Harry Beaumont , Duke of Montrose when he arrives with his entourage of students, anaesthetists etc when he arrives at the Queen Victoria Hospital London. Her antipathy and dislike of Harry slowly dies away when he invites Esther to a glittering black tie. ball. Slowly a bond develop s between the pair who come from completely different backgrounds and a royal romance slowly develops between them. 

I found the characters to be very stereotypical: angry, prickly Scottish midwives and the posh Surgeon. It would be great if the roles could be reversed. A very clean romance interspersed with lots of medical action!

#AD Book Review: Healing The Single Dad’s Heart by Scarlet Wilson.

Healing The Single Dad’s Heart is written by Scarlet Wilson, part of her Good Luck Gospital mini series and published by M&B Medical.  Dr Joe  Lennox, a GP working in a surgery situated in a deprived  area of Glasgow, has brought his little boy, Regan to Hanoi as he has got a new job at May Man Hospital. His wife has died of myeloid leukaemia and Joe wants a new start to recover and mend his heart. The first person he meets when he enters the hospital is Dr Dang Van Lien, who becomes their unofficial tour guide. Slowly Joe recovers from the loss of his wife and love blossoms but can both Joe and Lien overcome their pasts to find their future HEA?

This book is extremely well researched, lots of descriptive paragraphs about Hanoi which draw the reader in plus lots of medical jargon. I feel that these combined actually take away from the story and the characters because there is such a lot for the reader to take in. I enjoyed this book but wouldn’t rush to reread it.

Book Review: Cinderella's New York Christmas (M&B) by Scarlet Wilson

Cinderella's New York Christmas is written by Scarlet Wilson and published by Mills & Boon (True Love). Released just in time for the Holiday/ Christmas season, the book due to its title (obviously) and front cover screams sparkly Christmas so as soon I saw it I knew I wanted to read it as soon as it had finished downloading!

Anissa Lang had been an up and coming Australian skiing sensation and possible contender for Olympic gold before a terrible accident put a massive dent into those dreams and aspirations. Now she is working as a chalet maid and a ski teacher in Mount Couer, Switzerland so she can finance her ski training as she is determined to continue skiing competitively and force her body back to peak condition no matter how painful the process is.  Leo Baxter, a multi millionaire, is also in Switzerland for the reading of his parent's will. He has never met them, or his brother and sister, as he was put up for adoption (something his parents always regretted) as soon he was born. They never stopped searching for him and were so determined that he should be part of the family if he was found, that the will stipulated that he must be head of their Jewellery store empire for 2 years or the shares must be sold off. Their first meeting takes place when Anissa skis into a car and Keo comes to her rescue. Their is an instant attraction and he takes her with him to New York. Both characters are struggling with issues that could derail a possible long term relationship. Can they overcome them to have their happily ever after?

The novel reads like a modern 21 Century Cinderella: she is a chalet maid, the princess who runs away from the ball, Leo is the tall, handsome prince.  I enjoyed the New York descriptive scenes. It made the whole story more realistic and the reader can imagine being there in person.   It is well written and I couldn't put it down till I finished it!
