0ur opinion:

:
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.

Buyer's feedback: 5 out of 5 stars - * Awesome as always ...
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!



Buyer's feedback: 3 out of 5 stars - Predictable Radclyffe
Night Call is another Radclyffe novel based on an area that is familiar to her as a retired doctor, the medical profession.

Jett McNally is a helicopter pilot and a veteran of the Middle East war. She's having trouble getting over what she saw in combat, plus she's trying to mend from a broken love affair, so working the night call flying the medivac chopper at a local hospital suits her fine. She can live a shadow existence without attracting much attention, she thinks. Dr. Tristan Holmes is highly respected for her skills as an anesthesiologist and is well known for her "love them and leave them" lifestyle. She's not looking for a relationship, but can't help being fascinated about the enigmatic Jett when they start working together. She becomes determined to discover what makes this woman tick and finds, to her surprise, that she might be interested in more than just adding another notch to her bedpost. Drs. Honor Blake and her partner Quinn Maguire, introduced in earlier books, are central figures in this story. They provide a picture of wedded bliss and family ties that encourages Tristan to keep pursuing Jett, no matter how distant she seems.

Night Call is another romance written in the style that Radclyffe's fans have come to expect and enjoy. It tells a familiar story of two women who meet, overcome an obstacle and find each other, with some sex scenes to spice up the plot. There was real potential in this story for Jett McNally's situation to be explored. The role of US women in a combat zone is a new one with many complications of adjusting to those duties while not really being considered battle ground soldiers. This would have been a chance to examine the feelings of those women and the struggles they go through in a system that is confused about their status, but Radclyffe didn't choose to take that course except on a superficial level. The opportunity to tell a fresh and topical story was bypassed in favor of a more routine romance. That will certainly please the die hard fans, but the possibilities that are glimpsed in this book will make some readers wish Radclyffe had used her considerable talent as a writer to do something different.

If the reader is looking for a predictable story that hits all of the expected buttons, then Night Call fits the requirements. It's easy escapism for a few hours of entertainment.




Buyer's feedback: 4 out of 5 stars - * Fast-paced romance ...
I like Radclyffe, she's written some awesome novels within the romance genre that deliver what the genre sets out to do. There were some that didn't convince me so much, more so lately. But I could not not buy it since I think Radclyffe is at her best when writing about doctors. She knows the job so well that the writing just flows and the situations are believable. Matched with interesting characters you can't really beat that.

Night Call had the additional bonus that it promised more of Honor and Quinn, the main characters from Fated Love. I enjoy series because they manage to transcend the natural limits of romances, namely stop when people get together. I rather enjoy reading about how it continues, the mundane daily life.

Add to that two new fascinating characters and you've got the making of an engaging romance. There's Tristan, an anesthesiologist, not big on relationships, and Jett, pilot for the hospital's helicopter, ex-soldier who was stationed in Iraq and is dealing with that. She's the more complex character of the two, in my opinion, flashbacks to her time in Iraq give insight into daily soldier life and the suckage that is 'don't ask don't tell'. This backstory makes Jett a very convincing character. Tristan could have been a bit more fleshed out, but she's still a well-developed character.

Contrasting the new characters with the established relationship of Honor and Quinn and a little bit of Linda and Robin works very well, and the fast-paced hospital environment means there's not a boring minute in this novel. It's like the beginning of a story about a community, a bit like a non-comic Dykes to Watch Out For. I have no idea if further forays into this universe are planned, but I'd be all for it.

Very satisfying read.



Buyer's feedback: 5 out of 5 stars - Another Radclyffe Winner!
With Night Call Radclyffe is back with another exciting medical drama, which the retired surgeon always does exceptionally well.

Jett McNally is a medevac helicopter pilot who has seen the horror of the wars in the Middle East and can only leave that behind when she's flying. She's a solid pilot, who takes chances to make sure that she brings back the injured, in civilian life as in military life. Jett's a loner, and wants nothing to do with anyone, feeling comfortable to take extra flying shifts, avoiding time with others.

Dr. Tristian Holmes is an anesthesiologist who is big on sex for sex sake..no strings attached. She likes it that way and steers clear of anything that the word "relationship" could be applied to. She's in a stressful job but the adrenalin is what she likes.

If you've read Fated Love you will remember Honor and Quinn as the main characters in that story. Much to my delight they appear in Night Call as more than just having camio roles, as they also have a story that is told in this book.

This was a truly enjoyable read. It was also a HOT read. No one can write love scenes like Radclyffe and once again she shows why she's the master. This book has all of the elements that we've come to expect (and hope for) from this very prolific author and publisher. I was not disappointed.



Buyer's feedback: 4 out of 5 stars - * Another Consistent Tale from Radclyffe ...
I appreciate Radclyffe writing what she knows...medical drama. I work in the field, specifically surgery and it's nice to see realistic stories come from this domain.
She's also adept at writing stories about things not so well known...the life of a military chopper pilot. Let me say that my other half is former Army. Radclyffe's attention to detail with all of her characters is commendable...but I appreciate it even more with this story. Thank you for getting those nitty gritty details (rank, etc) correct.
For those who have read Fated Love, you will get an update in the lives of Honor and Quinn. I will not provide any spoilers to ruin the story but I believe you will come away completely satisfied.
The meat of the story surrounds the growing attraction of pilot Jett McNally (interesting names as always!) and anesthesiologist Tristan Holmes. I agree with the previous reviewer that the difference in these two couples is quite striking; however, I appreciated the contrast.
I did not feel this novel was as strong as other Raclyffe works but it is still very worth of your time.
I eagerly await the author's next work.

On paper, the Mio DigiWalker P550 looks to be an attractive gadget for the mobile professional, combining the capabilities of a PDA and GPS into one device. However, its poor battery life and subpar navigation skills tell a different story.

Though it won't appeal to the masses quite yet, the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet is a nice, portable device for on-the-go Web browsing, and it has some worthy upgrades.

Though it has a few design and performance glitches, the Sony Ericsson W300i is a quality, basic MP3 cell phone.

Diesel vehicles have nearly a 50-percent market share in Europe, thanks to tax incentives and diesel-friendly legislation across the EU. Diesels are so passé there that you can buy a BMW 730d and no one will think it odd that your luxury car burns oil. Pull up in a diesel 7-Series in America and people would leer at you like you've alighted from an amphibious vehicle reeking of saltwater and dead trout.

But now, thanks to the oft-reported combo of newly-raised CAFE standards, not-so-newly-raised gas prices, and the 50-state diesel engine, GM, Ford, and Chrysler are about to dip more than a hesitant toe into the diesel game. Chrysler offers a diesel in the Grand Cherokee, but soon all three automakers will offer diesels in their best-selling lineups of light trucks -- the Dodge Ram 1500 is expected to offer a 50-state diesel after 2009. Light trucks are being used to lead the charge since those buyers stand to gain the most with the least amount of (perceived) sacrifice.

Diesels currently have 3.2-percent of the American market. Some estimates put them at 15-percent by 2015. That's a huge leap, and diesel still has plenty of hurdles. Diesels will come with a cost premium over gasoline-engined cars. That should be easy enough to conquer -- incentives and some quick cost and longevity calculations should convince people of the benefit. The real hurdle is the nagging issue of perception. The plan will probably be to attack that with a price that makes the proposition unbeatable. Said Chrysler's director of environmental affairs, "If it's priced right, we can sell diesel here. Diesel can give you an immediate poke in fuel economy -- 20 to 40 percent. Not many technologies can deliver that today."
