Passion Without Tension?: Life and Love: A Lesbian Medical Romance Series

Life and Love #3

by M.T. Cassen, Ashton Haugen (Narrator)

Can you have sizzle without a little heat?

Young, closeted, hospice nurse Allison Walsh is used to playing her cards close to her chest. But as the all-enveloping Roth family rally around her patient and their dying husband and father, Allie finds herself thrust into something she never knew she a family that knows that the most important thing is love.

Then, in walked Izzie Roth.

Rushing home to take care of her father and the failing Roth restaurant, Izzie is determined to set the world to rights. From the boardroom to the living room, she commands every space she steps into — until sweet, youthful Allie catches her eye.

Falling for a younger woman may just be Izzie’s undoing. The only problem? She can’t stand the thought of losing this gorgeous nurse. Maybe that’s why she keeps making excuses to see her...

For Allie, this is a once-in-a-lifetime spark, but giving in to it means accepting the deepest secrets of her identity — even if her family won’t.

And all the while, their spine-tingling tension is building into something passion.

No one can doubt the passion and tension here. If only they don't let it go. Can they really have passion without tension?

Allie is a hospice nurse, caring for terminally ill patients at home. Richard Roth is her patient, having lung cancer and having difficulty breathing. But always he is upbeat and happy. Allie’s job is to care for her patient, but also to support the patient’s family. Richard and Cheryl his wife are waiting for their daughter Izzie to come home from the city, where she works. Izzie works hard, and while home with her parents can work remotely, while also helping with the family restaurant. Izzie has heard many stories about the wonderful nurse helping the Roths, and Allie has also heard many stories of Richard and Cheryl’s beloved Izzie.
Allie is at the family home so much that she becomes a part of the household, and knowing the restaurant too, also has input when Izzie decides that changes are needed there.
In some ways this is quite a simplistic story, thoughts and emotions are quite close to the surface. I like that, because it makes it an easy read without much angst or frustration, ideal after reading a heavy story. However, don’t underestimate this book. Allie isn’t out to anybody in her family except her younger sister, and her parents are quite homophobic. Allie’s parents take advantage of her easygoing attitude, and use her. A big part of this story is Allie gathering the courage to be true to herself, to come out to her parents and to set boundaries on how they use her.
This is also part of a medical series, but I think it has fewer medical connections than the other books in this series I have read. This is mostly because it isn’t set in a hospital.
Overall, I loved this story. It was warm and happy, and the sensitive but realistic way it portrayed end-of-life care was positive without being morbid.

Touching

This story brought back memories and tears. I thought for a moment it was about me. Lol. Seriously though, I loved Izzie’s family and the love they shared. Not only was her love taking care of dad but taking care of her when she finally stopped hiding.
