Description

He’s realized his dream of becoming a world class heart surgeon. But to do it, he had to leave his first and only love behind.

Former gang member, John Battaglia got himself out and now is proud of his rise in the ranks of the medical field. At only thirty-six, he’s performed more surgeries and had more success than most doctors in the middle of their careers. He hasn’t forgotten his roots, though. The Lansing family is still near and dear to him. He’s happy and content with his life. But his outlook changes when he sees his soulmate Mary Margaret Mancini again at a shelter where they both volunteer. Old feelings deluge him as their past together resurfaces.

Meg wants nothing to do with hotshot Doctor John Battaglia. She was crazy about him years ago, but he broke her heart when he ditched her to further his career. Though she’s satisfied with her life, she’s never found anyone to fill the hole Johnny left in her. But she knows better than to let this alpha male get close again.

However, when gang member Dash Bodine, who resembles Johnny in looks and circumstances, brings John and Meg together, they can’t avoid each other. And when they’re together, passion flares.

Is that enough for them to work out their issues?

Or will past mistakes preclude any kind of happily-ever-after?

    Wow, what an eye opener. I knew about the issues with being a Dr., but to read about gang life as well. Blew my mind. Written so well and as if you actually lived that life in both worlds. Thank you for a hold your breath story and all I learned from it. I am an avid reader and this was a story I could not put down.

    The summary leaves no mystery. I already read the whole dang book by reading the summary!! The summary was like a sparknotes of the book. There is no basis for the story, no hardship.

    So much more than a romance, loved it. The story of Meg and Johnny, whom we met in their younger years in the story of Cop of the Year. They now both physicians and reconnect. They had an on and off relationship, that ended when neither would give. Now they both found out they still love each other and will try to bring their worlds into one and to believe in each other. Love the gang aspect of the story, to see how Johnny made it out of the gang and is a successful cardiac surgeon. Now he wants to give back what he was given to Dash. Meg has always helped the under privileged in her career. I have been a nurse for thirty plus years and Kathryn did a wonderful job her story telling of the medical aspect of it. I highly recommend this book to all readers. It will touch your heart. I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.

    This is another winner by Ms. Shay. Though it's part of the Bayside Heights series, it's a standalone. The author gives you enough information of the secondary characters that you will not be lost. The story centers around Johnny Batagglia, a heart surgeon, and Meg , a GP physician. They were together for many years but split up after a great deal of heartaches,doubts and insecurities. Now due to unexpected circumstances they renew their relation. But the real theme of the book is the danger of gangs, not only to society, but to the kids that get into them. Many would really want to get out, but they are trapped, have no support, many are abused, and feel they are in an endless merry go round. But if helped and given love and a support system, they can be successful and they can thrive. Johnny is an example of that. So pick up the book, you will not regret it.
