Two genuinely flawed and humanly broken characters embark on
a journey to healing and love in Joy Slaughter's Crossing the Line, an immersive romance that will have a strong
appeal to fans of Sci-Fi and Literary Fiction. Megan Henderson, an EMS worker
for Sacred Heart Hospital has a new partner, Nathan Thompson. Nathan is a war
veteran who lost his leg in Afghanistan and Megan can't trust that he can
handle the job but is surprised to discover that being fitted with a prosthetic
doesn't affect him at all. While Megan can't fully trust Nathan, he thinks she
is bossy and patronizing. When Nathan notices bruises on her arm, he is
worried. Other signs lead Nathan to believe that Megan is being beaten and hurt
by her husband. He pushes her to do something about her situation, threatening
to report Todd. As they work together, feelings for each other begin to grow,
eventually blossoming to an explosive romance.
This is a wonderfully crafted humane tale that should burnish the author's
reputation as a first-rate storyteller. Slaughter introduces readers to two
characters that are complex and incredibly sculpted, each bearing scars from
the past. They work in the EMS and the author imbues this world with life,
giving readers powerful glimpses of what it feels like to work as an EMS. Apart
from Nathan and Megan, there are other fully drawn supporting characters like
Megan's abusive husband, Todd. Todd is a police officer and is in a position to
coerce his wife to silence. This book offers an exciting journey for readers,
from the protagonists’ opposite personalities and distrust for each other to
discovering a strong attraction for each other and mutual respect. It is
original and bears the marks of stellar literary creation. Slaughter's Crossing the Line is a deft,
balanced, and utterly delightful read with characters that readers will stay
with throughout the breezy ride.his shift
