Life Begins in ArizonaLee MorrisonContemporary romanceAvailable from The Wild Rose PressISBN: 1-60154-011-6September 2008
This incredible book told the story of spousal abuse at its worst. Dr. Claire Stevens had just relocated to Wickenburg, Arizona. She had accepted a position in the local hospital’s emergency department. She was alone and planned to stay that way. Five years before, she had divorced Nick, her husband, and he spent years in prison for what he did to her. He found her after she moved, came in and severely beat her. Her next door neighbor was Dr. Jake Cooper, the Director of the Emergency Department. While he was technically her immediate supervisor, they had never met.
Dr. Cooper (Jake) was working with his horse in the barn behind her house when he heard her scream. He managed to get him away from her and got her to the hospital. He was scared Nick would return to finish his work on Claire so he told the hospital staff he was her husband. He never left her side while she was hospitalized. Only after she regained consciousness did he find out she was his new physician. But at the small town hospital the news of the heart-throb doctor’s marriage travelled fast and soon the whole town had been told.
Ms. Lee Morrison has written this poignant story about starting over while still afraid of the consequences of domestic violence. Her characters were strong and admirable. Claire was strong but vulnerable. Jake was all male but he had a sensitivity that was commendable. Her supporting characters were varied and their qualities were written so well it was as if I was in the middle of the script living along with the cast.
The storyline was sensual but not overly sexual. The connection between Claire and Jake was enviable. His consideration for her well-being was something not always present when the man is such an alpha male. The discussion about the abuse factors was a subject I’ve seldom seen in a romance book.
I loved this book and could not put it down. I was totally surprised at the ending. I highly recommend it to everyone. This one’s a keeper!
