Cute story if you're willing to completely suspend your logic and common sense for a few hours.Discouraged by his medical practice after realizing that all his efforts can not save the world, Ben Torres, a trauma surgeon, punches a patient and is suspended from ER.His friends and his boss, charge Jessica Bradford, the ER main nurse, to babysit Ben, stop him from drinking and get him back to work as soon as possible.Jessica, an ex wild girl, tries her best to put Ben back on track.I can't believe that anyone with a six-month experience in the medical field would act as this surgeon. Bad things happen all the time and the ER departments are the first in line to see the effects of human stupidity. Ditto for Jessica, who takes the whole of the book to see Ben as a normal person, with flaws and qualities and not a superhero.For Ben to just want to have fun (i.e drinking, having sex and hold a job with little responsibilities) is childish. For Jessica to dress up with cowboy boots, short skirts and clinging tops to get his attention is demeaning. For them both to (almost) have sex in public places, well, at this point, their actions make so little sense it works with the rest of the plot.This story would have worked better if the characters were teenagers and not the mature adults they are supposed to be.
