    I have read the earlier books of this author and thought they were good but this one exceeded them. I enjoyed the ER action and the life problems of the characters were meshed together in a way that everything was easy to follow. Medical mysteries and stories are on of my favorite types of books

    The blurb sounds really interesting/intriguing, huh? Trust me, when you actually pick this novel up, you won't be disappointed. Candace is an amazing author who knows exactly how to draw in her readers. I think that the development of Jack Travis and Riley Hale was brilliant. Great characters often have troubling pasts and Jack's past surely fits that script. I felt as though his past and story brought me in and kept me reading until the last word of the book. Of course, all of the other major and minor characters personality's shined as well. Especially Bandy Biggs's character. (if you have read this book: Didn't you just love the character Bandy Biggs?)

    This is the first medical drama I have read. I half expected a medical scene played out, a little something like this, "Scalpel. Scalpel. Retractor. Retractor. Surgical stapler. Surgical stapler." or maybe a load of medical jargon that forced me to look up terms in a medical dictionary. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to read through this novel and thoroughly enjoy the plot without any unnecessary interruptions.

    My favorite books are the one that tug at your heart. The ones that make you silently lift up a prayer for struggling and heartbroken characters (even though you know that they aren't real). I found myself moved by Riley's faith, her constant struggle with disability and her finally learning to trust God and His will for her life. Jack's life story is nothing short of one trial and tribulation after another. When he accepts Christ, his character changes from a bitter, anger management issue plagued person to one who really wants God in His life. Jack learns that God's plans are not a coincidence.

    This is the first book I have read by Candace Calvert and I hope it wont be my last. Her writing here emanates good use of imagery. It was peppered with humor and plenty of laughable moments. It was a page turner, plain and simple! I'd rate this book my 5 star seal of approval:)

    I love books set in the medical scene. I love medical shows. For some reason, it fascinates me. However, I hate it when people write books set in a medical scene and either write with lots of medical jargon that many people don't understand or they write with no clue about how the medical field works. I had never read anything by Candace Calvert but I was a little hesitant in checking out this book purely because I thought it would be a disaster due to past experiences. I'm so excited to say that this book exceeded my expectations and I fell in love with Candace's writing and with the characters in this book. I can't wait for the next book in the series to come out. I really hope that some of the main characters are carried out throughout the entire series. I found myself incredibly sad, yet happy at the ending. Candace is a former ER nurse and has tons of knowledge. However, she does a great job at not including a lot of medical jargon without explaining it and doesn't create unrealistic problems and incidents within the hospital setting. She writes from experience with the main character, as well, which I think enhances the character, Riley.

    Riley had an incident that has caused her to stop working in the ER as a nurse. However, that doesn't stop her heart from longing to be back in the ER and she works hard to obtain her goal. Jack is running from some things in his past and has to find a way to clean up his clinic's name from some bad events happening on his property and in the well-to-do neighborhood located next to his clinic. When Jack meets Riley and finds out her last name and her connection to a foundation, he realizes this is just the key. So he offers Riley a chance to work at his clinic, which she jumps on because it's a chance for her to practice her skills. With each other using each other to obtain their goals, romance is bound to happen. However, when Jack's past is dug up, will Riley be able to put her past aside and accept Jack? Or will she really believe that he's done what he's accused of doing? Will anyone be able to help clear Jack's name?

    I've already downloaded the first book in one of her other series so I'm excited to start that series now! I'm so glad that I found a writer who feeds my desire to read anything medical and keeps it clean! Thanks Candace!

    This review was written for Trauma Plan, Grace Medical Series #1.
    "Trauma Plan" is the story of victims striving to regain control over their lives–or, really, to turn their lives back over to the One Who never lost control. Riley Hale is an ER trauma chaplain, counseling those who suffer while recovering from a vicious assault that caused what may be permanent nerve damage. She is determined to overcome her disability and get her life back on track–to return to her former job as an ER nurse.

    Dr. Jack Travis works part-time at the same hospital as Riley, but devotes most of his time to the free clinic he runs. Unfortunately, from his point of view, suburbia has encroached on his clinic. Wealthy neighbors fear those who use the clinic and are determined to shut it down.

    When Riley and Jack meet, he invites her to volunteer at the clinic, hoping her influential last name will give the clinic some neighborhood clout. Riley accepts, hoping to prove through her work there that she is fit once again to be an ER nurse.

    Author Candace Calvert has used her own experiences as an ER nurse to write a beautiful story of empathy and compassion, trust, and God's sovereignty and grace. Subtle truths are woven throughout. As readers get to know each amazing character, they can't help but cheer them on as the intensity builds right to the perfect conclusion. Tyndale House Publishers sent this book for my honest review. I'm happy to recommend it to fans of contemporary Christian fiction.

    Candace Calvert did an excellent job in writing this book! With her previous work experience as an ER nurse, and the author of the Mercy Hospital series, another medical based book is right up her alley! Talk about being on the edge of my seat throughout a story!

    Chaplain Rile Hale has so much going on in her life right now. Recovering from an attack, with some medical issues lingering, she is hoping her ER friend Kate can help her get back in to a nursing position. Now if she could just convince Kate that she is capable of handling the procedures of the day to day tasks in an ER!

    While I enjoyed the relationships/characters of Riley and Travis, Bandy Biggs and Hobo were the ones that truly captured my heart! Yes, I believe you will come to love Hobo the dog as much as I did! But the story of Bandy, is the one that will get you thinking, and leave you pondering his wise words. Although he was once a homeless, rodeo has-been bum, sleeping in his truck, you quickly learn there is more to Bandy than what meets the eye. After hearing his saying, "A big buckle doesn't make a big man", you come to learn how true that is!

    I give this book 5 stars and highly recommend it's reading!!
