Publisher's summary

When you spend your life battling death, who has time for love?

Dr. Ali Torveau knows just how fragile life can be - she sees death and tragedy every day in the trauma unit. Battling the dark forces of fate is her life's work and she doesn't want or need anything else, certainly nothing as transient as love. Plenty of women try to change her mind, but she never has any trouble saying no. Not until the day firefighter Beau Cross shows up in her ER and sets Ali’s carefully ordered world aflame.

I have Narrator Trauma

I don't know if I would have enjoyed this tale more of the serious Trauma doctor Ali ,battling her feelings for the hot and ripped firer fighter Beau, although not very hard if it wasn't was read by somebody who sounded like she was reading from a cook book her rhythm is of and with this kind of novel you need that ,granted this is not a a classic by any means but it didn't deserve this .It could have been so much better with a better narrator .

A Sweaty, Breathless, Public Servant Sandwich

Radclyffe is a retired surgeon who's become a bestselling author in lesbian romance, mystery, and erotica. She specializes in medical romances and is a pro at whipping up love concoctions.

The story revolves around a senior resident doctor who gets swept off her feet by a butch firefighter with a saucy attitude. I imagine Trauma Alert might've been a juicy day dream back when Radclyffe was making her rounds.

Wish I had known

I didn't realize this was a lesbian novel (it doesn't show in the summary). Not my style. I just lost a credit and only listened for about 10 minutes. Sorry I only like girls as friends.

Narrator ruins this book

Nothing ruins a great book like a narrator who reads a very descriptive and well-written love scene (as Radclyffe always does) like they're reading from the classifieds. Absolutely abysmal. The entire time I was wishing Abbie Craden would have narrated this book. If so I would have given it five stars across the board. This was roughly the equivalent of a high end, expensive dress being sold at Kmart. Boo.

Narrator

The narrator was awful. Story was good and interesting. Prefer someone else reading it allowed. Hopefully there is a new narrator for future books.

holy jesus

okay I have read a few of Radclyffe now and the first responder books are great for a quick fun read. but this is the first time I had to stop listening because I was panting through the love scenes. I don't know what sparked you through this one girl but HOT Damn. I had my wife laughing and helping me relieve tension twice! great story line fun characters. thanks for this one.

Better in Print

If you’re a Radclyffe regular, this par for the course. It’s not up there with Fated Love but it’s a solid read. Read being the operative word.

No disrespect to Nicole Vilencia, the narrator, but her performance definitely left a lot to be desired. I’ve no idea if a narrator’s performance is guided by a director so I don’t know where to lay blame - and someone should be blamed. Ms. Vilencia’s inflection and/or delivery oftentimes didn’t match the written descriptor or the tone of a line or passage. Additionally, there was very little differentiation between character voices. [Listen to the sample of And Playing the Roll of Herself narrated by Lisa Cordileone for an example of narration done right.]

I think I’ve said enough to get my point across. To say more would just turn this review into a rant.

Definitely recommend this one!

Would you listen to Trauma Alert again? Why?

I would, and have! Like 5 times! I find that every time i have listened to it i get things out of it that I missed the previous times! Good story line. I would love to see this as a movie!

Which character – as performed by Nicole Vilencia – was your favorite?

Probably Dr. Torveau...

Any additional comments?

Aside from some unnecessary assertions by Beau Cross and her need to relieve her tension quite often, I enjoyed this book. It's easy to listen to. Good narration.

Radclyffe has done it again!

If you have a medical background and are a lesbian, you'll love Trauma Alert! Believe me, after reading this book, as well as her others that are based out of the Pa, you'll wish you could work in this hospital and become part of the family.

unexpected

What would have made Trauma Alert better?

i wish the summary had indicated the characters were gay. Good reason to read the reviews.
