The Passion Of Patrick MacNeill (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Patrick loves his son and is doing everything possible to give him a wonderful life after the accident he survived. Kate is a doctor who helps burn victims. These two people met and speaks fly. They fight it for a bit, but it the end they end up together. But they both need to change a bit to make things work. Can they do that??I really liked all the characters: Kate, Jack, Patrick, Amy, Sean and Con.Amy helps me understand Kate more, but I wish we could have met her mom a time or two to understand Kate a bit better. If her sister is like their mom, then I understand. It just would have been nice. Patrick feels so much guilt about the past and can't seem to drag himself out of it. He kept thinking of how great his family has been with Jack and when he needed them, but it would have provided more closure of he talked to them more in the end and was willing to lean on them. I have no clue what makes books like The Passion of Patrick MacNeill a pure delight while other books with basically the same plot aren't worth slogging through. Perhaps the way the main character was three-dimensional, with an interesting life built around her trailer upbringing and current job as a burn doctor? More likely, it's just a spark of life that's as hard to describe as it is to write. Whatever --- this book had it.
What do You think about The Passion Of Patrick MacNeill (2012)?
Another great Virginia Kantra book. I can't wait to read the next in the series.

Oh, hum. Way too predictable: single dad meets doctor. Fall in love.
