EXCERPT
"Can't you just tell me how I can find Nurse Helen Middleton?"
Once again the visitor's voice interrupted her. She turned on her stool to look back at him, the tweed with flowers, a small frown furrowing her snowy, unmarked brow.
She regarded him steadily. "Gladys, let me call you right back."
She ended the call with one of the efficient clicks she was known for among her underlings in the hospital circles. She scanned the ER with her experience, eagle-eyed glance and saw that all was stable.
Turning to the handsome stranger, she asked: "I am Helen Middleton. How may I help you, sir?"
He answered her with a disarmingly warm smiled that turned her insides into melted caramel. And what was that thumping all of the sudden in her chest?
"I came here to find an angel named Nurse Middleton and thank her for her heroic efforts yesterday that saved my mother's life." His glance landed on her name tag. "You're that angel, and now you are my new hero."
As she recalled the pressure packed situation, Helen felt the color rush to her cheeks ¿ much to her consternation. In all her four years she had never been flustered. And today should be no different. Nursing Supervisors were not supposed to blush! Observing her carefully, the stranger extended his hand and leaned in to her across the counter. "I'm Mrs. Williamson's oldest, William. My friends call me Red."
"I really enjoyed Spotlight on Love. It was a very gripping tale of love and romance in the early stages of WWII. It made me stop and remember where I was when each of my country¿s conflicts began in my life time as I read of the Christmas Pageant interrupted by the news of Pearl Harbor. A very emotionally written scene, Ms. Andrews¿ talent for creating a scene so vivid in detail and emotion showing through very strongly...I feel Ms. Andrews has a real winner in Spotlight of Love, and I be looking forward to more by her. I give this story 4 wings."
"There is such a sense of this overriding, higher cause dominating their lives, it makes this romance all the more evocative... Ms. Andrews is amazingly good at tearing at your emotions... Set in the 1940s, ‘Spotlight on Love’ is more about the people than the time or place. Although the events of the day are important, ultimately this is a charming love story."
