Medivac helicopter pilot Jett McNally's heart belongs to an Army officer she left behind in Afghanistan, and good-time anesthesiologist Tristan Holmes is no substitute, except possibly in bed.
When Jett comes home from the war and destruction in the Middle East, everyone she knows thinks she should be happy. How can she explain she left a big part of her life behind, including her heart? Flying and the adrenaline-rush of a crisis are the only things that make her happy, and she volunteers to fly night call where all the action is. So maybe once in a while she takes a few chances. Hey, that's life, right?
Dr. Tristan Holmes is an expert at two things--high risk anesthesia and pleasing women. Sure she plans on settling down - later - like in ten years. Until then, life is meant to be lived, and Jett McNally really gets her engines revving. Since she isn't looking for anything more than a good time, Tris can't understand why it bothers her so much that Jett isn't either. After all, why spoil a great relationship by getting serious?
High-stakes medical drama, life on the edge, and love in the fast lane--it's all just routine for Night Call.

Summary: 2 novellas combined in one weak book - needs CPR!
Comment: There are 2 novels going on at once here - neither being substantive enough to merit a whole book. While I like revisiting Honor and Quinn, I think each couple in this book merits their own book. Normally I don't mind the nods to other characters from other storylines that Radclyffe peppers into her novels. However, I find this one subpar, derivative and just plain old-fashioned annoying. There is very little character development of the new couple and no real reason to like them. Come on, Rad, you can and have done way better than this........

Summary: Back in the Saddle Again
Comment: I was worried for a while, but it seems that recently Radclyffe is truly back in the writing saddle. Several of her more recent books have been a little less outstanding than her earlier stuff. However, `Night Call' is the third truly good one she's released in quite a while and this reader thinks she's on a roll.
Jett McNally flies medivac helicopter on the night shift. As a former soldier, she craves the excitement of her job and almost looks forward to the tragedies she faces every night. That becomes especially true when she meets anesthesiologist Tristan Holmes during a flight. The women have an immediate attraction. However, for their own reasons, both resist looking for anything from each other.
Jett has had her heart broken by a woman who wouldn't return her love. Tristan can't fathom giving up the single life. But, they're both surrounded by examples of what love can be and they're having a hard time resisting the pull. In `Night Shift,' Rad brings back characters from FATED LOVE, making it a pseudo-companion piece (of course reading FATED LOVE first makes a lot of sense here). This tactic gives the story much more depth and gives her more space to develop the new protagonists into wonderful and complete characters.
One other thing to note is the author takes advantage of the I-35W bridge collapse in Minneapolis. Toward the end of the book, the characters deal with that tragedy and some are more impacted than others. I love it when real-life events can be worked into a story.
Bottom Line - Fantastic, as usual, from the queen of this genre. This consistent pattern of great novels lately makes me truly anxious for her next book. It's a good idea to read FATED LOVE first, but not absolutely necessary. Do yourself a favor, grab this one and carve out a day in your favorite reading spot.

Summary: Night Call, again a hit from Radclyffe
Comment: Again the story takes place in a medical setting, though this time she introduces a hot helicopter pilot into the mix. Strong character formulation. Builds the tension between the two main characters well. Always good antagonists/challenges. I enjoy her writing in particular beacause her characters are bright, capable, confident, dedicated, driven, real, vulnerable and devoted.

Summary: Awesome as always
Comment: I love Radclyffe's books! They always make me feel a litte "Whoa" in my belly! Again she managed to make me read the book at once. The characters are beautifully written and you also get to know what happened to Quinn and Honor from the book Fated Love.
Again two women, Tristan and Jett, struggle with their past and if there is a future together. One might find stories by Radclyffe a bit cheesy, but they entertain very well and make one forget about daily live. I absolutely recommend the book!
