Some new reviews from summertime books!

FRAGILE Shiloh Walker Berkley ISBN: 978-0425250952 August 2012 (re-issue) Romantic Suspense Luke Rafferty is a former combat soldier who has gone to medical school and now works as a physician in an emergency room in Lexington, KY. He has seen many difficult things, both as an Army Ranger and as a care provider. While he is restless in his job at the hospital, he doesn't exactly know why. Devon Manning is a survivor. Abused and abandoned as a young child, she lived a life on the streets, addicted, until placed with a loving family. Now a social worker who works with abused children, she catches the attention of the handsome doctor she deals with on occasion. When Devon is threatened, her new relationship with Luke takes on different dimensions and she is upset over his protectiveness. To say more would give away this fantastic story. In true Shiloh Walker fashion, this is a gritty book filled with people who have lots of angst. The character development is superb and we get a glimpse of Luke's twin brother, Quinn, who has his own book. I read this book in one very long, late into the night frenzy. Hated to see it end! A terrific novel! Reviewed by Jeri Neal Rating: 4 1/2
