Description
When a trauma surgeon and a filmmaker become reluctant allies on the battleground between life and death, passion strikes without warning. Saxon Sinclair, the broodingly secretive Chief of Trauma at a busy Manhattan hospital, is less than pleased to learn that her new resident is going to be the subject of a documentary film. The arrival of Jude Castle, a fiery independent filmmaker, soon sets sparks flying as the two driven women clash both personally and professionally. Both have secrets show more they have spent a lifetime guarding, and both have chosen careers over love. Desire and destiny clash in this blazing romance. show lessTags

Trauma surgeon Saxon Sinclair does not want Jude Castle filming a documentary in her top-rated NYC trauma center. Jude Castle does not want Bossy McBossersons Sinclair telling her a damn thing, ever. Both have emotional baggage and dark secrets to hide.
Again, Radclyffe gets so many things right, the romance was a joy to read. Each character, for all her dark emotional turmoil, felt relatable in basic and fundamental ways.
However, a caveat:
Passion’s did have some disconcerting moments for me— during the sexxoring, both characters were often described as getting “hard”. Ok, sure, I know clitorises (clitori?) engorge, etc., but I kept thinking, “you feel it get hard? really?” And then I flashed on Lisa Valdez’s books and show more some of Robin Schone and started giggling over over-the-top anatomical scenes of erotica and the sexxoring got a little less hot.
I’m not gonna lie, describing a clitoris as erect/hard/engorged — penis-esque, if you will— just gets weird for me (I’m not saying I want to read sappy “touch my lady flower” books either, though).
Three out of five stars. show less
