She promises she never had sex in a call room – the mattresses are not comfortable – or had a fistfight with a patient – though she did work as a fight doc at the Octagon.

This is book two in The MetroGen Downtown Lifelines series and it is Nora and Barack's story. Nora is a third grade medical student and wanted to become a doctor but her mother is determined to match her up with a suitable man which Nora is totally fed up with and goes out of her way to make sure that it doesn't happen. When Nora meets Barack there attraction to each other is so instant and strong but Nora is not sure that Barack is who he says he is and before Nora can go any further with him she will need to find out who he is and what he does for a living as something just doesn't add up. Wow I absolutely loved this book and I had to keep turning the pages to see what would happen next between Nora and Barack and also I wanted to find out exactly who he was and what he was hiding. Nora and Barack were so perfect for each other but with everything going on will they get the happy ending that they both deserve. I couldn't put this book down as it was so addictive and I can't wait to read more books in this.

Nora is an orthodox Jewish woman who lives by her religion. Her mother and the community are trying to match her with a nice Jewish boy, Barak is not that. However, they see wildly attracted to each other but first must get past all the secrecy of his life. Always enjoy this author and the Metro-Gen books which can be read independently or in the series.

Waiting pays off
This book gives the reader a lot of insight in the lives of Orthodox Jews and their differences. And also very different from many men/women relationships after the sexual revolution in the 1960’s en 70’s. The youngest daughter wanting to become a doctor instead of marrying before 20 and having babies right after. A very strong woman swimming against the current. Meeting a man with many secrets and a behavior that raises questions. When she finally falls for him, they don’t have to wait to be married and together for the first time. What a lovely and tender scene. Loved it.

I relly enjoyed the story, however the reason I gave it four stars is because it was written in the third person point of view which is a deal breaker for me. Other than that I enjoyed the story.
