Nurse Julie takes in a man and his daughter who have no place to go, not knowing he's running from something. What starts as Derek and Lexie staying in the apartment she owns next to her (as he waits for the insurance to replace the car someone plowed into) turns into him helping with her remodel and staying a while.
But with his secret and her being burned by a guy recently, both are leery of each other. But little Lexie has grabbed ahold of her heart in a big way.
Timeframe: Current day, around the 4th of July.
Location: A lake village in Wisconsin
Romance...yes, sort of. Lots of caution because pain will come when he leaves. A surprise kiss, then later deepening feelings, but always unsure of each other.
Sexual content, none other than the mention of Derek not being married to Lexie's mother.
Language, none.
Fascinating story? Not exceptionally. Super short read.
Target audience? I'd say it's a teen or young adult book. A little too young for my taste.

This was a good, not too long, read. It was a free ebook, the title caught my interest, so I got it...and started it...and soon found myself dragged into the story!! :) Julie is a single nurse working in the ER, where she meets mysterious, veteran and single dad Derek and his young, quiet daughter, Lexi. Julie is dealing with some grief and other things, and offers Derek and his daughter a place to stay. Derek is hiding something which eventually comes to light and thickens the storyline. ;)
Although it's not a favorite, this was a good book and I enjoyed it. However, there were a few things I disagreed with – that being the cause of the lower rating.
1) Derek was never married to Lexi's mother. This is shown in a bad way and he regrets his mistakes now.
2) The kissing. Really?? You've known each other like two days!!! >_< So, yeah. That was a bit much. There was three or so such scenes. *gag*
I've read books that were listed as Christian fiction and turned out to mention God once or twice, and then only in a vague/distant way. The faith, prayer parts of the book were definitely there, and they were really good and 'real'. But they could have been deeper. This, too, affected the rating I gave this book.
(By the way, the cover on Goodreads is much pretty than the one on the ebook. xD)

The book is formulaic Christian fiction which is nice every once in a while. However, I had some issues with several parts of the book. Unlike other Christian authors she did not really show Derek’s moment where he turned to God. I also didn’t like how Julie promised Lexi that her mom was an Angel in Heaven. First, people don’t turn into angels. We are distinct beings created for different purposes. Two, no one can promise if someone else is going to go to Heaven. That is between them and God. The issue with Derek and Lexi’s grandparents was not very accurate. Missouri is very much a parent’s rights state so I was confused as to why he was worried about losing her. He mentioned being her legal guardian. His rights had never been terminated and it sounded like there were no substantiated reports of abuse/neglect. I don’t know a lot about the code of ethics for a nurse but I wouldn’t think letting a patient stay with her would be allowed.

Nice sweet romance. Faith based but not overwhelmingly so. Great heroine.

(3.5 / 5)
Derek wants nothing more than to be a father to his recently motherless daughter Lexi, but there are some seemingly insurmountable obstacles to that dream. As he tries to outrun some of those obstacles, he's in a car accident that forces him to stop his flight in Crystal Lake. There, he and his daughter are helped by ER nurse Julie, who has her own burdens to shake off. Will these three find what they're looking for in each other?
This story is about a novella-length, about twice the length of the previous one. And it did have more substance than the previous book, even allowing for a fairly serious storyline to be tied up. Unfortunately, even with the shorter format, there's a good deal of repetitiveness in the narration, especially involving the main characters' inner turmoil about their individual situations (as well as their joint situation). I appreciated Derek's characterization, but felt Julie left a lot to be desired, regarding having much of a personality.
Most likely because the story is so short, it has the unfortunate common situation where two characters who have only just met develop feelings for each other very quickly. This particular relationship moved to kissing more quickly than I prefer, especially for a Christian read. And so much of the romance we see them develop revolves around them admiring each others' looks.
I appreciated that Julie wanted to share her faith with Derek, and by extension, with Lexi. I don't recall it being wrapped up in the story, but it certainly wouldn't have to be, realistically speaking. I think there was a good foundation there for the future, though (their fictitious future that won't likely be in any future books, of course). There was one theology point I didn't agree with, but I won't mention it here.
As the second book in a series of similar stories, and both being decent, but not stand-out reads, I don't plan to move on in this series. However, if you are interested in a short, sweet, clean romance, this book can easily be read as a standalone in the series. I thought we might get a bit more of a glimpse of the characters (as a pair) from the first book than we did, since they all work in the same hospital. Please be sure to check out other reviews, as there are plenty who liked it more than I did.

There are a zillion books in this genre available these days, and this one is actually quite readable. You can float through it in little more than an hour, and the two main characters are appealing, as is the child.
The dilemma is always the same though: there’s just SO VERY LITTLE going on! The story is told from his-and-her perspectives, and that’s kind of a problem. All the way through, we’re aware of her inner dialogue, which isn’t much more than: He’s so handsome! That chin! Is he going to kiss me? Oh! He DID kiss me! Should I have let him kiss me? No, that was a mistake! Um, now what?
On the other side, he’s thinking exactly the same thing. “What a cute girl! Those dimples! I should kiss her! Oh, wait, I just did. Oops. Should I have kissed her? Why is she frowning at me? I’ve blown it!” There’s page after page that isn’t much more than this, and meanwhile the story has stalled.
I commented to my wife (and yes, my being a male reader and reviewer is something to take into account): “It’s all decently interesting, but the emotions are ramped up to 10 and 11 at all times. Every upturned eyebrow or silent moment is a crisis of the most hand-writing sort.”
One element that’s a definite plus is that the Christian element is nicely tuned: gracious, believable, not stuffy. More writers these days are doing that part quite well, and I salute this franchise for handling that aspect admirably. Although one other reviewer correctly pointed out that people do NOT die and immediately float up to heaven and turn into angels!
I’m confident that this writer, Laura Scott, could come up with a much more plausible and engaging plot, where there’s a heightened level of mystery about how it will all turn out.

Derek Ryerson, on the flight with his young daughter Lexie from a custody battle with the child's grandparents, finds refuge with ER Nurse Julie, who offers shelter to them after they had been involved in an accident. Although sparks fly between the two adults, Julie is still too cautious after a relationship that broke her heart, and Derek does not trust anyone with his secret.
All in all, a heartwarming story, with very likeable characters, good storytelling and a good plot, and in the character of Julie, the spirit of Christianity at its best.
However, there were a few inconsistencies, or rather, not so plausible events in the story (for example, without spoiling the story I hope, why the custody battle in the first place if Derek is in fact the legal guardian?) At the end, the changes in mannerisms, opinions and actions of some of the characters happened a bit quickly considering the rest of the story and the reasons given for Derek's and Julie's behaviours. We'll just put it down to divine intervention, shall we? ;=)
However, the little glitches did not at all interfer with the enjoyment of reading this story, and I would like to get my hands on the next sequence in this series.

What I liked:
- Realistic elements (seeing Lexi reminds others of the loss of their 6-year-old niece/daughter).
- The ending
- Quick read
What I did not like:
- Accidental kiss. I'd prefer to read about characters who show more restraint.
- Julie got too involved with a patient... again.
- Julie pretty much ran off, giving up entirely the possibility of a relationship with Derek (and Lexi) without even talking to him. Maybe they couldn't make it work, but she should have promised to call or something so they could at least end things neatly. They eventually talked, by Derek's prompting, but I wanted to see more growth and maturity in Julie.
- Too much repetition of the custody issues. Whenever more information was shared with the readers, everything we already knew was rehashed, again and again... and yet again.

Julie Crain is the ER nurse on duty when Derek Ryerson and his his daughter Lexi are brought into the ER on July 4th weekend. The ex-soldier is injured quite badly in a car accident, but is more concerned about Lexi, who's fine. When he's stranded in town, she offers to let him stay in a duplex she's renovating. Derek is running from his daughter's grandparents who want custody of the little girl, whose mother recently passed away. With no job, and few funds, Derek takes off with her rather than fight the legal battle. Lexi starts to open up to Julie and her badly damaged heart after her fiance left her, begins to heal. She helps him make amends with Lexi's grandparents, and eventually they get a HEA. Christian but not terribly preachy.

This story had a solid premise and intriguing initial incident/meeting (I'm a sucker for a wounded man!). However, I immediately ran into disbelief that she would offer up her (unlocked) townhome to a complete stranger from out of town.As the story progressed, I felt it lacked emotion and depth (lots of fodder for that given his Army service and ) and was a bit repetitive and things were too easily resolved (e.g., with the grandparents). I would have liked to see him struggle with faith a bit more based on his background and stated feelings about being unworthy. Also, it seemed to hint at a developmental disability for Lexi (perhaps Asbergers?) but it was very vague. Also, the entire relationship developed over only 5(?) days, which is a bit fast.

Protecting his daughter
Julie has grown up in a small town that’s known for its beautiful lake. Working in the local hospital ER, she’s met people from out of town. One night, a call comes in that a father and his daughter are enroute to the hospital after being hit by a drunk driver. Her heart hurts at just hearing that a child might be in danger; it’s only been a few months since her little niece’s death from leukemia.
A sweet story of God using difficult circumstances to bring about good. A wonderful read.

A great read
This story was such a good read, I could hardly put it down. The story of Julie and Derek was so heartwarming. I was sad for Derek that he had to run from his child’s grandparents and he had lost his faith in God. Thanks to Julie for being the vessel and allowing God to use her in this time. Another happy ending when love wasn’t on the couple’s agenda.
Thanks for another great story Laura!

A well written story that begins with an accident and ends with God's loving grace showing them the way. I enjoyed the main characters and the author did a good job of bringing them alive on the pages. Lexi was quite the child as she struggled to keep up with the disarray that was surrounding her little six year old life. Well done story by Laura Scott, that offers a second chance to these 3 sweet characters.

I absolutely love this author and her books. I just love how she takes the other secondary characters from a series and gives them their on series plus mentions some of the main characters from the series these ones first appeared in. I will stay up well into the night just to finish one of Laura Scott’s books because that is how hard it is to put her books down. This book is just one of the many that I couldn’t put down until I finished. I Loved this book and this series .

A dedicated father, a sweet, sensitive, young girl, and an ER nurse committed to their care. A romance with a suspenseful twist, the plot develops naturally along with the attraction between Julie Craine and Derek Ryerson. The author slowly reveals why Derek is on the run with his daughter, Lexi. Julie steps in to help them when their lives are at a low point. There's a strong faith element, and a child's love is a catalyst for family reconciliation.

A great read!
This is how a book with a prequel and sequel should be written! Great story line, realistic characters and an ending that doesn't leave you hanging! This was a delightful story of a man's determination to provide the kind of life for his daughter where she could best thrive. Along comes Nurse Julie to help him sort out just what that life should look like and bring him back to the faith he had once had. A great read!

This book was a lot better than the first in the series. It had more depth and the characters were more believable and relatable. Also the story wasn't rushed like the first. I think it was the perfect length to the short story. I am really enjoying the Christian aspect of the books and I smile when God is mentioned. Its a nice change.

Short and sweet.
Glad there are more books from Crystal Lake. Sweet and short but Laura that is the only reason for the four stars. Love a book of faith and you never laid it on too thick, and I liked that you addressed that our soldiers aren't prepared for "normal" society after serving their time in terrible situations. Thank you.

Unusual Take on Theme
I thought I knew what was going to happen in this well-written book, but it surprised me. Besides its unusual twist, this book had likeable, multidimensional characters, interesting action, and a sense of place. Another plus was that secrets didn't fester too long, a tactic lesser authors use to increase the word count. Well worth reading.

Sweet romance
It's hard to believe a romance can happen in just a few days but this author makes it work. It was a delight to read. It was nice to just get lost in this fast pace book. I was a little surprised how fast Derek's ribs healed. As he didn't seem to hurt towards the end of the book, when he held his daughter. Just saying.

Gone But Not Forgetton
A nice novel of a soldiers great love for his country, his acceptance of a life full of fortitude, finding himself is situation of living a child he gathered and loved, with death, a trial of faith in God and forgiveness. A good clean read will hold your interest.

Quick read
3.5 Cute, Christian love story. I wish the editing had been a little bit better for this book. I also wish Derek had said a little more each time at the beginning of the book instead of just saying he had to get away. It took quite awhile before we learned more of Derek’s story.
