favorite scene with luke-

From the back cover:
He'd been in dangerous situation before...

But Luke Maitland had never put another person at risk--until Blossom Woodward, the controversial TV reporter, happened into the line of fire meant for him. He had saved her life; then he'd had to take her with him into hiding.

She called it kidnapping. She didn't trust the man who said his name was Larkin--and insisted he was protecting her--on bit. Sure, he was kind and brave and...well...gorgeous and sexy, but he was lying through his teeth! She certainly couldn't be falling in love with him, a man whose real name she didn't even know--could she?

The concluding book to the Maitland Maternity series.

And my review:

I bought this book because it was part of the Maitland Maternity series. "The Inheritance" by Marie Ferrarella had tweaked my curiousity, so I grabbed this one.

What was interesting in this book was that Blossom was actually an almost villan in "The Inheritance", so seeing her in the role of heroine was entertaining. Also, though this was a "captive falling for her captor plot", the author refrained from that disgusting he-rapes-her-and-she-loves-it plot device.

However, what this book had in suspense and drama, it lacking in actual romance. I didn't really feel the characters drawing together emotionally. Most of the attraction seemed to be physical, and that wears pretty thin after a while.

If you want to complete your series, go ahead and get this. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend this book, as it's pretty average.

I've just finished a book called Anti-D in midwifery: Panacea or Paradox. By Sara Wickham


Boy o Boy was it eye opening!!!

I'm pregnant with my first baby and have a negative blood type. I have been trying to find out as much as I can about Anti-D and the pros and cons etc.

My Husband and I are doing the BRAN (benefits, risks, alternatives and doing nothing) thing for Anti-D as it is a blood product and we wanted to find out as much as possibe.

Most of the info I've found on the internet has been more geared towards doctors and clinicians and carers. With focus on dosage and how the product is made and by whom etc.

Whilst I wanted to know that stuff, I also wanted to know side effects and basically just how effective it is.

The basis of the book is really disecting the research that has been done into Anti-D and to explain and interpret the results.
It also discussed possible side effects and the risks.

If you are looking for more info on this blood product, then this book may be useful to you also.

This is a good quick reference for prenatals if something pops up that you are nott familiar with. But be ready to make the conversions from Canadian to English. There are a few extra vowels in there.

Easy to follow book for nurses working with difficult patient's. Some good tips and is a good book for learners.

I have always been frustrated with Amazon free super shipping but this one was in on time and in the condition described

Great for review for NCC certification exam.

I recommend this book. I bought it to study for the IBCLC. I have a greater understanding.

Learn some of the ins and outs of Congress by following the narrative of one bill: the Family Medical Leave Act from the mid 80s to its passage in 1993.

Elving constructs a solid narrative in which the main character is actually a piece of legislation. From this unique vantage point, the reader captures the atmosphere and culture of Congress.

This book is easy stuff for Capitol Hill longtimers, but more importantly its not too difficult for newcomers who want to wade into congressional politics with a good yarn rather than a dry and dusty book of rules.

Recommended.

You're probably thinking that menopause can't happen to you. You're wrong. This book is a must for anyone who is going through menopause, knows someone going through menopause, has been through menopause, thinks about going through menopause, has dreamt about menopause, will not go through menopause, has gone through menopause in a previous life, or sells menopause related products or is in the coping with menopause business in anyway. Menopause is, among many things, preventable; with the right knowledge, care, and planning one may prevent menopause outright. this book outlines the three main treatments for menopause, being a man, becoming a man, and pre menopausal fatality. It offers pros and cons to each treatment and displays them in an easy to read graph.

I am a nursing student and purchased this for my pediatric/OB semester to help out with care plans. It is worth the purchase for sure although I recommend flipping around in it before using the index because it's a little hard to find what you want. For example, if your client has Gestational Diabetes you can't just find that in the index, you have to look up "nutrition" or other key problems. Also, one care plan may be used for several different problems. The biggest issue I could find with the book is when you go to the page number you want referenced in the index, it will say "See Altered Nutrition" but you have to flip pages trying to find it since there is no clue where the full care plan is. I finally figured out how to use it at the end of the semester and then found out it is on statref! if you already have access to that.

Bottom line is, it's the best and maybe even only option out there. It is worth the price since it saves time with your care planning.
