Series: Crocodile Creek 24-Hour Rescue

Grace O'Riodan has had a crush on policy officer Harry Blake. Grace values their friendship and tries to keep their relationship on the friend level, especially since Harry is newly widowed. As the cyclone approaches Crocodile Creek, Grace and Harry must put their personal lives on hold. As the disaster damage mounts, Harry and Grace must rely on each other emotionally. Have they found each other too late?

The Nurse He's Been Waiting For, the second book in the Crocodile Creek 24-Hour Rescue mini-series, builds upon the foundation begun by Alison Roberts in The Playboy Doctor's Proposal as the cyclone approaches, causing more damage and injuries. Meredith Webber did an excellent job describing all the pieces that fit into disaster preparation from pets to shelter preparation, rescue and disaster emergency medicine. As the cyclone nears, she expands and shifts her focus in the secondary story of the lost children. The disastrous wedding adds both a serious and humorous dimension. The suspenseful tone dimension of the romance and dramatic medical situations make this a quick page-flying read. This book does not sugarcoat disasters. Nevertheless, Meredith Webber creates intense emotionally moving and tender moments to please romance readers. Although one or two finer radio details were not completely fleshed out, most radio operators reading this book will adore it on account of Meredith Webber's description of radio in disasters and emergency preparations. The Nurse He's Been Waiting For includes some dark moments in terms of the disaster and Harry's first wife made some choices that might startle some readers. The Nurse He's Been Waiting For is an exquisite medical romance that will appeal to a wide variety of readers, including non-medical ones. The breadth of emotion and fine details are superb!
