There is no doubt about the appeal of TV doctors! When I was sixteen I would take my doona and hike to the back of the house, sit in an unheated room with the old TV and watch re-runs of re-runs of an old British comedy called 'Doctor In the House'. I think at the time I had a crush on one of the actors This addiction was followed by an Australian TV show called 'A Country Practice'. There was a bush nursing hospital, dedicated staff and a parallel story line of a vet. Romance was always in the air and I loved it!

Outback Romance

By the time I was nursing we all used to gather in the Nurse's Home and watch 'The Flying Doctors' ...all that red outback dirt, the planes, the adrenaline pumping emergency evacuations, handsome doctors and the romance between the staff. And then there was M*A*S*H, who could forget Hawkeye!

When I was thirty the US television dramas started to arrive. New, high octane medical shows with a LOT of adrenaline and a dollop of romance, piggy backing on the true and tried shows like 'Doctor Kildare'

I quickly became hooked on 'ER', 'Chicago Hope' and today it's 'Grey's Anatomy','House' and the off-the-wall comedy of Scrubs. Why? Well let me see…Gorin Visnjic, Hugh Lawrie, Patrick Dempsey, George Clooney…all those gorgeous men!

Somewhere along the way I also discovered Harlequin Medical Romances and I was totally hooked with this great combination. I get my 'fix' of medicine, which has always fascinated me, AND I get a great romance. So, when I thought I would write a book, Medical Romance was the obvious choice.

If you haven't ever read a Medical Romance, then try one today! You'll never regret it.

Medical Romances are available where all Harlequin Romances are sold or online in the UK, US and Australia
