About the author
Frankie J. Jones
15 books14 followersAll About Frankie... I was born in a town so small, that rather than listing the population figure on the city limit sign, we simply listed the citizen's names. From there I joined the Army and spent three great years in Germany. It's a beautiful country that everyone should visit if given the opportunity. However, I wouldn't recommend joining the Army as a method of traveling there.
After leaving the Army, I moved to San Antonio, Texas. I was now living in a city so large that the population figure would barely fit on the city limit sign. I soon went to work for a giant telecommunication company and served a long sentence there. Now through a strange twist of events I find myself writing full-time.
Someone once told me that I should list my hobbies in order for my readers to get to know me better. Well, I'm one of those people who never met a hobby she didn't like. It's much easier for me simply to tell you that short of jumping out of a perfectly good plane, there's not much I dislike.
I live with an extraordinary woman, Martha Cabrera, extraordinary in the sense that she doesn't mind my wild never-ending string of hobbies. We love to spend free weekends at the coast, fishing. I harbor a dream of someday catching a fish that's actually bigger than my bait.
I began writing when I was a kid. In my stories, the girls kept dumping the boys and running away with each other. This was a curiosity for me, since at that time; I had no idea what a lesbian was. Thankfully, the Army corrected that lapse in my education. You can imagine my surprise when I learned that not only was it all right to write these stories, but a place called Naiad Press would actually pay for them.
Naiad Press published my first three novels: Rhythm Tide, Whispers in the Wind and Captive Heart. I moved over to Bella Books 2001. (from the author's website)
Frankie J. Jones has also written a number of books as Megan Carter.

Progressive for 1997, decent but rushed in the second half.

Had great potential for a 4 star. Some places (beginning) we got more detail for character development and story building and unfortunately the interesting parts, in the middle and near the ending of the book i got a rushed feeling. It deserved more detail, i know with a bit more it could've grabbed me more emotionally.

When destiny strikes twice and you meet the same person you ought to forget as the once who has fired you and then once more meet her and need to come to truce and end up helplessly attracted to her, but she won’t let down the walls surrounding her heart, now that’s a hell of a ride.
The second conflict results out of the main characters’ opposing jobs: an obstetrician and a midwife, whom have to work together on a combined program for their patients.
I was absolutely surprised by both and found this book endeavoring.
Although, the main character is dr. Hollis Monroe (I love her first name, by the way, wisely chosen), I will start with Annie.
Why? Because, in my opinion, Annie is the more sensitive one, fragile and went through a hell a lot.
Annie Colfax’s origins reside from a Menonite family, whom was similar to the Amish lifestyle: they stayed away from the real world in a close community, growing their own crops and eating what they grew, they didn’t accept modern medicine, nor unmarried mothers.
When Annie walked away from that community in search of her destiny, living for real for the first time, she gets hurt by the man she most trusted: her college professor, Jeff, who has been nice and kind and had introduced her into this new world, taught her everything and intimacy followed as the normal flow, but then all ended and Jeff has abandoned her when she found out she was pregnant.
Since then Annie has been all alone and God be blessed, with her child.
Annie’s life and heart were broken into pieces and she had to gather them and somehow stiched them together again, for her child, for own self to go on.
She has almost had a miscarriage and was brought to hospital and one Dr. Hollis Monroe, at the beginning of her career, helped her give birth to her daughter, Callie, being the first person who ever saw her. But, the bleeding won’t stop and Annie passed out and Hollis didn’t have time to ask for her permission, but she had to save her life and remove her uterus.
When Annie woke and wants to see her baby, Hollis had to tell her the worst part too and Annie never forgave her and asked for anther medic to take care f her from that moment onward.
After four years, Annie has a settled life, she has a beautiful daughter, whom she has raised on her own and she had a wonderful job, she was a midwife and helped families who wished to give birth to their children at home. Only in cases of emergency she called the ambulance for help, rare occasions.
Her manager appointed her to run a project they had together with the hospital to promote that midwifes also helped in the hospitals. Of course, she would have face angry doctors, especially surgeons, who all that care about was operating, even when unnecessary.
She has never expected to meet Hollis.
