A beautiful story with room to grow!

I’ve read several books by this author and was excited to dive into this one from a series I hadn’t explored before. While the story itself is lovely and engaging, I believe a revised edition could elevate it even further by refining repetitive words/phrases and strengthening the flow between chapters. That said, I still enjoyed it overall and appreciate the author’s unique voice! Keep writing—I’ll always be eager to read more.

I want to move there!

I love the story line of another Phoenix Ridge book. The characters feel alive and I would really like to be friends with them. The whole concept of women leading women through work and life feels real and needed in this world.

“Blazing Hearts” by Emily Hayes

The “Phoenix Ridge Medical” series is wonderful. I completely enjoyed this installment, “Blazing Hearts.” Mallory and Kara are both smart, gorgeous and a bit afraid of love. But they are absolutely great together. This book is sexy and exciting!

A lesbian romance needs more than 2 lesbiennes. It is very repetitive, not very interesting, and the medical part is very lightly pasted on. This read brought me back to long ago, when these kinds of poorly written books were the best we could get.

I thought it was heartfelt and at times emotional. It has its problems with the characters and the pacing toward the end is a bit different, but by no means a bad read. I would read it again.
