I enjoyed this book. I’m planning to read the other books in the series. The book moved forward at a good tempo and I didn’t get bored because the story’s moving too slow. I was sad when I reached the end of the book and glad to see there are 4 other books in the series.
Mouth to Mouth isn’t a bad book, but I had a very difficult time connecting with either of the main characters. Based on my experience reading (and reviewing) Ms. Malone’s work, this isn’t typically what occurs. It isn’t a matter of the characters being poorly written, or any issue with the situations they found themselves in, it just didn’t click for me this time. Despite this, I will continue to look forward to reading anything else written by this author.
This book was provided to me free of charge. My review is given voluntarily.
This is the fifth and final instalment of the Lakeside Hospital medical romance series and I think it is a great way to close this series. Cara Malone did it again and gave us a beautiful, heart-warming story. This book can be read as a standalone.
What happens when a stubborn ER nurse and an equal stubborn but people-pleasing paramedic find their paths fate entwined?
Sarah is one of the kindest and selfless persons there are. She is willing to do anything for her friends or for anyone who is in need of help. She is a paramedic who has been having a crush for one of the ER nurses at Lakeside Hospital for a while and thinks she is so way out of her league but dreams with an opportunity to be with her anyway.
Veronica is an ER nurse who takes her job very seriously, she knows if she gets distracted lives will be lost. She isn’t having the best of her days; she just found her girlfriend of six years cheating on her and her mood is foul. When one of the paramedics she works with on regular basis passes out in her arms, she doesn’t care how cute she is and chooses to ignore the clear chemistry between them; she can’t believe she of all people isn’t taking care of herself, she lectures her about it and not letting everyone take advantage of her good nature. Her words aren’t very kind and they stuck in Sarah’s head, making her think whether Veronica is wrong or not so much. As fate has it when her ex goes to collect her things and an emergency call is needed, turns out the responding paramedic is Sarah. It is until Sarah is giving mouth to mouth to her ex that an unexpected feeling stirs inside of her, strong enough to consider get to know Sarah better and give her a chance.
Will these two different women give up their stubborn ways to let the other in or miscommunication will tear them apart?
Along the series, we have been able to watch the stories of the different characters. This time we witness the last building romance of the series. It has a well-developed plot and character growth. I liked the way Malone went on the different twists and entangled their paths to keep the interest and shape their story. This story let us learn about the inevitable bumps in the way to happiness, like miscommunication and emotional baggage; but also, there is always someone no matter how improbable it seems, that will make our journey better if we let them in.
I liked Sarah and Veronica; although we have seen them previously in the series, was good to know them better, to watch their stories. Somehow I could relate to both of them, a bit of both personalities remind me of me at some point in my life. Sarah is very lovable as soon as you know her, her good nature makes her easy to like. Veronica isn’t less lovable, despite being so different from Sarah; you can tell she has the heart in the right place.
In conclusion is a well-developed romance, emotional and heart-warming. Cara Malone did a great job closing the series and it is one I’d gladly recommend.
I received an ARC copy of the book from the author and voluntarily leaving my review.
