Marcus Manning is hired to help with transitioning a privately owned hospital to one of the large hospital corporations. Unfortunately, he is an over-the-top jerk harassing his subordinates. Just one of those subordinates is the main character, Toni Day.
The story held my interest, but there was absolutely nothing believable in the story. The culture in the hospital didn't ring true, and most of the characters have such exaggerated personalities that they became obnoxious, especially the wise-crackin’ Toni.
While I know the book was written in a lighthearted manner, there was one incident in the book that just irritated me. Toni and another character, Jeannie, are talking about other hospital employees and one in particular. She was a fellow medical professional, a Certified Nursing Assistant, and they ridiculed her lack of education. They also called her feeble minded.
It was Just OK for me and I think it needed less dialog and more narration.
I am no longer accepting books for review. Most of the books that I review on this blog I have received free of charge from the publisher, publicist, or author. In most cases it is an advanced reader copy or electronic copy. Receipt of the book is always with the understanding that I only post honest, thoughtful reviews. I receive a short description of the book from the sender, and then I try to accept only books I will like. I am not an author nor professional writer. I am just a book lover and enjoy blogging. Unless I note that I am reviewing a library, a purchased, or borrowed book, you may assume that my book has been received for review.
