The Patient Nurse (2010) - Plot & Excerpts

I have been wanting to read this book for a very long time.Yiu have to either love or not love this author.I happen to love and enjoy this author's books.That said ,this book was a slight departure as it did not involve ex military men,drug runners,gaming refs and any of the Jacobsville gang.This book has a heart surgeon who is of Cuban descent and a girl who is from a poor farm background who is a Registered nurse who also is the H's dead wife'cousin.The cousin is dead for the past 2 years and she is accused of neglience in the death by her aunt,uncle and the hero.They are both work collegues and each try to avoid the other.Things come to a header when the heroine passes out and has to have emergency heart surgery.Unknown to the hero ,he preforms the surgery and only realizes it is the heroine when he makes his rounds and sees that it is Noreen ,the heroine.Ramon,the H,now seems to realize that things involving his wife's death is not what it was.His hidden feelings for Noreen surfaces and when she is discharged from hospital,he takes her home with him to recoup.Feelings for each other confessed,reconciles with aunt and uncle.and hero states that marriage was a sham and was basically blindsided by dead wife Isadora.The only thing that really sort of irked me was when the H states he felt like having Latin food for dinner and he would tell the cook to make quesidas and fajitas.This guy is CUBAN,he would be ordering roast pork,black beans and rice if he wanted latin food.I told this to my husband ( who is Cuban) and he laughed .But I did enjoy this read barring the food issue,lol.

HOW can this be classified as romance to people?! I don't understand. The "hero" blames the heroine for his "perfect" wife's death that he claims to love yet their marriage was a sham. He verbally abused her every chance he got and I can see her taking his crap because she's sweet natured but in the end Noreen was not only as pathetic as her hero in the end she was worse. I was proud of her when she kept her distance from him and kept her guard up when he did a 180 into I'm-Mr-Nice-Guy-That-Everyone-Loves-And-Trusts. When he wanted to care for her after her surgery and she actually let him was what really ticked me off. It was obvious to everyone but him and her so called family what kind of person she was. They treated her like crap and I don't understand how she could ever forgive them for that. His excuse for his mistreatment of her: because he wanted to be with her but was already with her cousin. (Dramatic eye roll) Gag me!!! She chose a life with an inconsiderate loser rather than standing up for herself, kicking him to the curb like the dog he was. and humiliating him the way he did to her all that time. He degraded her and expected her to come running into his arms because he was finally ready to "act" like a man who wants a woman. He will never be a man to me. This book is not for you if you like to see grown men still pushing women into the sandbox and pulling her hair to get her attention.

Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit. Never, never did I think I would ever rate a DP so high. I even checked to make sure the same Diana Palmer wrote this one but yup, seems so. The hero had been an ass to her before the book starts and maybe for the first chapter or so but it is immediately obvious that he is doing it and has always done it because he secretly loved her while married to her now deceased cousin and there is a lot of guilt involved. The rest of the book involved him trying to make it up to her and trying to take care of her etc. He was so sweet and caring. The plot made sense even if the long suffering heroine was almost cloyingly sweet and martyrific. It was an angst fest all around.And, okay, it sure didn't take me long to fall off the no more DP for me bandwagon did it?

Ms. Palmer usually writes about cowboys, millionaires, or private investigators. This time she ventures into the medical field, giving an edge to the type of book that Betty Neels is famous for. And, as usual, she scores a bulls-eye! Although a failure to communicate is behind the misunderstanding between the heroine and hero, it is well-thought out. If I were accused of being responsible for another's death for two long years, I wouldn't be inclined to try once again to tell the truth. Palmer's heroine is broken, both in spirit and body. Her hero must heal himself before he can heal her. Lovely and engrossing, I stayed up all night to finish this book!
