Blaise Richelieu has been living a safe and organized life while raising her teenage daughter and working night shifts in the ER. When the younger attending Grady McClure joined the Rivers and made pursuing Blaise a personal mission, Blaise did not plan on opening up to this attractive stranger. But not everything goes as planned.
There is no doubt that Radclyffe is good with words. Her sentences flowed nicely and the descriptions of the setting and character thoughts were vivid and clear. I like how this book reads like a couple episodes of a very queer Grey’s Anatomy. With all these amazing characters at the Rivers, it would have been wonderful to see the full cast on the small screen.
The plot was soapy and, I must admit, pretty predictable. Though I liked Blaise and Grady as well as enjoyed their interactions, the relationship development was just okay. Also, the pacing was rather erratic. Everything was going steadily before the 80% mark but sped up immensely after that. Despite these, the reading experience was very fun and pleasant.
I adore the teens in Love in the Night Shift. Their friendship was so beautiful and I loved them showing up in the plot in any sort of combination. All of them were very supportive of each other and understanding of everything. They truly were gems. Petition for a book or two or more on Taylor, Blake, Margie, Dave, and Tim!
Love in the Night Shift was my first try on Radclyffe’s books, and I enjoyed it. I would totally recommend this book for those craving queer medical fiction and read more of her works in the future. [5 May 2020]
I received an e-ARC from Bold Strokes Books via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
