And hearing a fetal heartbeat is iffy that early on. Like a doctor is going to make that kind of statement about the future, or announce private medical information to an entire waiting room of people. I don't think you have to worry abut a miscarriage.' 'She's eight weeks along, didn't you know?' The doctor paused and looked at the stunned faces of the group. The doctor goes on to answer questions about the other girl and then as he's leaving, stops abruptly and announces: Her shoulder would be blown apart, but no.he makes it sound like she was shot with a precision laser beam that left a perfectly clean hole from one side to the other. It would have to be to cover that kind of distance. She was shot with what I'm assuming is a high powered sniper rifle. The bullet somehow missed all vital arteries and veins.' 'I am.' Will stepped forward, clearly worried. Ashton?' the doctor asked as he pulled off the mask. At one point I laughed so hard at the stupidity that I had tears rolling down my face, especially during the scenes in the ER while Will and Mo (Mo's a sheik.for reals) hold vigil with Paige and Cole for their significant others. Every time I turned the page there was something bizarre to take me out of the story.

The author needs to do a bit more research on hospital & law enforcement procedures as well. The names in this book were just as rediculous as the dialogue, which was forced and awkward.

Deputy Noodle and Deputy Smalls were securing the scene. These people include, Sheriff Red, the Rose sisters-Violet, Lily and Daisy, and Deputy Dinky. The shooter gets away and everyone gathers around the injured women. By the time she caught up with him, I was too flabbergasted by the other characters that I no longer cared. Why? How in the world did she plan to stop him? Maybe she was going to sell him a hat to stall him, or dazzle him with her polka dot hair bow.who knows. Instead of ducking for cover or running to check on her friends, she runs toward the shooter. Her mega-super vision sees the shooter's finger move to the trigger and she screams to warn her two friends who've just exited the courthouse, but it's too late. She takes a lunch break and walks toward the local diner to meet her friends when she sees a gun barrel appear on a roof across the street. She's also a too-good-to-be-true heroine who does everything perfectly.shooting, riding horses, administers first aid, drives like Daisy Duke, etc., etc. Paige is a small town shopkeeper who designs hats and other accessories for women. Let's start with the very unrealistic characters. The summary looked interesting and the rating was up there so I picked it up for one of my challenge books. This was my first and last visit to the small town of Keeneston, Kentucky.
