The emotion that leaps off the page. It's impossible to have stories about anything medical and not have emotion. The trauma and drama that you find in medical romances get you involved so quickly and the setting makes for the perfect scene of falling in love with men who are so passionate about what they do.<BR/><BR/>2. The Men! Who wouldn't love a man who is strong and caring about everyone. It takes a special kind of person to be a doctor. And men that have the courage and confidence to make the decision they have to every day without hesitating draws me to them. To have the patience and strength to face the fact that you are handling someone's life in your own hands and that your decision will impact the rest of that person's life while still being caring and gentle has got to be tough. Men like this are unique which more than makes medical romances worth reading.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12219522037294903991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23204407.post-47802985149792361012007-07-14T18:53:00.000+01:002007-07-14T18:53:00.000+01:00I love medical romances; there is something about ...I love medical romances; there is something about curing an illness with romance all wrapped up in one that does it for me.robynlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03250071917966470701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23204407.post-92122997996997399622007-07-14T15:14:00.000+01:002007-07-14T15:14:00.000+01:00I love the drama.

There's just something about the medical field that interests me. I like all the emotion found in the stories. You get drama, tension and a love story all in one book.Kammiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00183089224990431099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23204407.post-61239365627561673172007-07-12T10:27:00.000+01:002007-07-12T10:27:00.000+01:00Lilian, I had a moment where I thought you were ch...Lilian, I had a moment where I thought you were channeling me regarding 'The Secret!'

Characters pushed to make decisions affecting other people's lives while struggling with their own issues. I wish I could capture that stunning combination of external conflict and deep emotional connection in my own writing.
