Trauma Alert

First Responders, Book 1

De: Radclyffe

Narrado por: Nicole Vilencia

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.

Great book

Updated::: after listening to this book a few times. I found the narration to be better than my first read.
This last time I found myself more engaged, and really feeling a connection with each Character. even Wynter and her Wife which I read their own love story just the other day in Turn Back Time which was very good by the way..
I found the problems that came up to be believable and well handled ,light drama, with some areas in the dialog to be kinda cheesy. but hey I'm sure there's guys who actually talk like that.
The story itself was great the build up between Bo, and Allie was amazing . the story flowed really well and the ending was complete. I was very happy and even re-read it twice in a row.
It's a must read.

Just wow!

Feelings, descriptions, and storytelling was crazy good ! I wanted to hear more of their story!

Another Great one

Narrator is one of my favorites! Loved the story line ! Keeps you on the end of your seat wanting to know more!

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.

Boring!!

Story would have been amazing. But the narrator was horrible, same tone for every thing! How disappointing..

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.

Story was good, narrator was lacking

Book would be so much better with a difference narrator. Could barely make it all the way through to the end.

action and romance, a must read

it has drama, live interest angst. it's very engaging and a must read and a bit steamy . it has good story / character development

“Trauma Alert” by Radclyffe

I love medical and firefighter romances and this book has both. Ali and Beau start with a physical relationship but it eventually turns into a love relationship. Of course there are bumps in the road along the way but the bumps sure made for an interesting, wonderful story. This is a great book!

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.
