    I guess I'm just a sucker for a good medical thriller, one that grips you from the start and never lets you go until the very last pages. No one can do that better than Dr. Mabry, and I'm excited to have a new book by him to be able to offer you a review.

    Dr. Carrie Markham has had her share of heart ache after the death of her husband several years earlier. She has finally opened herself up to a new relationship with Adam Davidson and has a medical practice that is taking off. In a single conversation, though, her life is turned upside down. As Carrie and Adam are sitting in his car after a movie, shots ring out that shatter the windows of the car, and the tranquility of the night. Adam confesses that he isn't who she thinks he is, that he has a history that may be responsible for the attack on them. Carrie isn't sure she wants any part of his life, especially one that could get her killed. As more attacks rain down on both Carrie and Adam, she decides to work with him to decide who is behind the attacks. Can they find the shooter before more serious damage is done? Will Carrie be able to overcome her hurt and forgive Adam? Who is Adam and why are people shooting at him? Your heart won't fail you if you run and BUY THIS BOOK!

    Dr. Mabry has again written a medical thriller that twists and turns from the start and throws so many red herrings at you that you don't know which way is up until the book is done. You feel for Dr. Markham as you understand the loss that she has endured with the loss of her husband and the feeling of hopelessness that she feels as she and Adam fight against the unknown. You root for Adam as he struggles against trying to find out who the shooter is and keeping Carrie safe and in his life. To me, the mark of a great author is one that can develop characters for you that you become invested in their lives and the outcome of what's happening during the story. Those are some of the best attributes that will keep Dr. Mabry writing and being read for years to come.

    Is this a "Guy's Book"? It has its moments. There is a mystery to be solved, there are shootings and evasive driving maneuvers, but there is still an element of romance as well. But hey, who doesn't need a little romance in their life?

    Richard L. Mabry, M.D. in his new book "Heart Failure" published by Thomas Nelson takes us into the life of Dr. Carrie Markham.

    From the back cover: When her fiancé's dangerous secrets turn her work upside down, a beautiful doctor must choose between her own safety and the man she loves–and thought she knew.

    Dr. Carrie Markham's heart was broken by the death of her husband two years ago. Now, just as her medical practice is taking off, her fresh engagement to paralegal Adam Davidson seems almost too good to be true . . . until a drive-by shooting leaves Carrie on the floor of his car with glass falling around her.

    When he confesses that Adam isn't his real name and that he fled the witness protection program, Carrie is left with an impossible choice: should she abandon the fiancé she isn't sure she really knows, or accept his claim of innocence and help him fight back against this faceless menace?

    While Carrie struggles to decide whether to follow her heart or her head, the threats against them continue to escalate. Her life–as well as Adam's–depends on making the right choice . . . and the clock is ticking.

    Without a doubt Dr. Mabry really knows how to write a thriller that will grab your attention and then keep it until he decides to let go. A witness protection program escapee that just wants his life back. Bad guys that do not want him to have a life at all. And Carrie, a widow, who really thought she was going to have a quiet life with her new fiance. These are the ingredients of "Heart Failure" The reason for the title is that is what it feels we are going to have as we deal with all the action, mystery and suspense as Carrie and Keith do their best to stay alive and bring the bad guys to justice. "Heart Failure" is a complicated mystery thriller as Carrie and Keith's lives are in danger practically from page one. Turn off the TV, unplug the computer, put aside the housework you are not going to want to do anything but read this book until the end and enjoy yourself in the process. Dr. Mabry has written another exciting book that most certainly is a huge winner!

    Heart Failure by Richard L. Mabry is a medical thriller set in a small town in Texas. Dr. Carrie Markham is finally getting over the death of her husband. Life is starting to get a little easier; until she and her new fianc are involved in a drive by shooting. Adam confesses that hes not who she thinks he is. And her world collapses again. Will Carrie stick with Adam through it all? Can they work things out before he is killed? This thriller uses a lot of medical terms, but they are explained as you go along. The plot thickens and by the end of the book youre not sure who you can trust. Mr. Mabry does a skillful job in weaving together his writing ability and his knowledge as a doctor.

    The book " Heart Failure" by Richard Mabry didn't stop my heart but had it pounding. first my heart was pounding in anticipation of reading this book. It did not disappoint. My heart was racing throughout.

    Richard Mabry has become one of my favorite authors. In this thriller Carrie and her fiancé Adam (is that his real name?) are in trouble. Somebody is out to kill them. Is it because of Adam's past or is it one of Carrie's patients or their family members? Carrie is a medical doctor. Adam had been a lawyer who put his powerful father-in-law in prison for life. There are a few suspects even though the outcome is somewhat predictable.

    I recommend this book as a fun read if you like thrillers and mystery. There is plenty of action and intrigue.

    I was given this book by BookSneeze as part of their blogger program. I was not required to give a positive review of this book.

    I love Dr. Richard Mabry's books. They are a real treat: enjoyable all the way through each moment of fast paced mysterious adventure. When I'm reading one of his books, I just can't guess what's coming next!

    My acquaintance with Dr. Mabry's books began March of 2013 with Stress Test. I knew I would love that book from the moment I encountered the line: "Let's get him in the trunk."

    Heart Failure had me from this line: "To begin with, Adam Davidson isn't my real name.... My real name is Keith Branson. I'm on the run. If the wrong people find me, I'm a dead man."

    Wow, what a hook to pull you in! Those words were spoken by our main male character to his fiancee, moments after they were nearly killed in a drive-by shooting as they left a the movies after a date.

    The lovely Spring dusk that had been so peaceful was shattered by fear, and then their evening was filled with revelation.

    Carrie apparently did *not* know all there was to know about the man she loved. Adam, really Keith, was fleeing from the Witness Security Program. All he had wanted was to live a real life, free from both pursuers and protectors... but now he may have endangered the woman who holds his heart.

    If you haven't read Stress Test, you can start with Heart Failure.

    If you have read Stress Test, then you know why you have to read Heart Failure.

    What makes these books so good?

    The interpersonal relationships are painted in full color; there is just the right amount of romance; the suspense level is high... I just can't say enough about these stories!

    Thank you Booksneeze for sending me my copy of Heart Failure to review.
