Back Cover Copy:
ER
nurse Macy Wynn learned essential, gritty lessons in the California foster care
system: land on your feet and trust no one. She’s finally located the fellow
foster child she loves like a sister, but the girl’s in deep trouble. Macy’s
determined to help, no matter what it takes. Her motto is to “make it happen”
in any situation life throws at her—even when she butts heads with an
idealistic cop.
Deputy Fletcher Holt believes in a higher plan, the fair outcome—and his ability to handle that by himself if necessary. Now he’s been yanked from Houston, his mother is battling cancer, and he’s attracted to a strong-willed nurse who could be the target of a brutal sniper.
When everything goes wrong, where do they put their trust?

My Review:
I
like romantic suspense, and I’m a huge fan of the television show ER. I own every episode. I have heard of
Candace Calvert, but I haven’t gotten around to reading any of her books yet.
When Tyndale offered it for review, I jumped on the chase. It would make me sit
down and read one of her books without buying it and sicking it next to other
books on my To Be Read pile. I truly enjoyed the book.
Calvert
shows the inner workings of an Emergency Room, and I enjoy writers who use
their day-to-day work to show their readers something new. It was realistic
without boring the readers with all the head knowledge a nurse has to have. It
flowed naturally.
You
can’t help falling in love with Deputy Fletcher Holt. He is a good guy who
wants to help his mother with cancer. They both drop everything in Houston and
move to California to seek help. Fletcher even goes so far as to find out if he
is a bone marrow match to his mother. What girl would not like a man that does
everything in his power to make his mother comfortable? Also, loved how
Fletcher went out of his way to find what makes Nurse Marcy Wynn tick. He was
charming, sweet, and memorable. I enjoyed the hero of Fletcher Holt. On the other
hand, ER nurse Marcy Wynn is a strong, kickboxing woman who wants the best for
her sister, Leah, and wants a place to call home.
As
for the suspense, it was interesting to see how a sniper kept targeting a
certain area of town. It made me think a number of different times who the
killer actually was. When I thought I knew who it could possibly be, Calvert
threw another wretch in the mess and proved me wrong.
I will definitely be keeping a lookout for the other six books that Candace Calvert has written. These are good books for fans of Jordyn Redwood and Bethany Macmanus.
Overall,
Candace Calvert’s latest release, By Your Side, grips my imagination with the
realistic workings of the emergency room and the suspense of the sniper. The
hero of Fletcher Holt is swoon-worthy and totally likeable. Marcy Wynn is a
strong, confident woman looking for her home.
I received a complimentary copy of By Your Side by Candace Calvert through Tyndale Publishing and all the opinions stated above are all my own.
Candace Calvert’s Bio:
Often
called the author of "medical hope opera," Candace Calvert is an ER
nurse who landed on the other side of the stethoscope after the equestrian
accident that broke her neck and convinced her love, laughter--and faith--are
the very best medicines of all.
Her popular medical drama series (Mercy Hospital and Grace Medical) offer readers a chance to "scrub in" on the exciting world of emergency medicine, along with charismatic characters, pulse-pounding action, tender romance, humor, suspense--and an encouraging prescription for hope. Think "Grey's Anatomy finds its soul"!
A native northern Californian, mother of two and proud grandmother to seven, Candace is a passionate "foodie," equally at home with a whisk in her hand as she is penning stories.
