While a first meeting might be memorable, that doesn’t mean the memory is easily triggered. She’s a widow, he’s the nurse who was responsible for the short staffing at the hospital the night her husband died. And when the truth comes out it can destroy any chances for a relationship. In Aries-Libra Connection, the author demonstrates her knowledge of hospitals to make the story real, but does so skillfully without slowing down the read. From the first page to the last, Walters pulls you into the lives of her characters and has you rooting for a happily-ever after ending.

Excerpt:
The heat of the August sun caused a trickle of sweat
to run down Jenessa’s back. As she threw her practice pitches, she watched Sam
Gray and a tall, blond man approach. He put a can on the grass. She felt his
appraising stare and tamped an urge to ask what his problem was.
“Play ball.” The home plate umpire’s call interrupted
her thoughts. She stepped on the mound and prepared her first pitch.
The first two innings were scoreless. She stepped to
the plate in the bottom of the third. The first three pitches were high and
wide. “Put one across.”
The pitcher hurled. Jenessa tapped a liner off the end
of the bat. The opposing pitcher bobbled the ball. Jenessa streaked past first
and dove for second.
“Out.”
She bounced to her feet. “You’re blind. I was safe.”
“Out,” he repeated.
Megan, he’s not for me, she thought. As she walked
away, she dusted her shirt. Her braid slapped against her back. A few feet from
first base, she turned. “Safe.”
For a moment, she thought he intended to continue the
discussion. She felt his gaze on her back and grinned. Sparring with him at the
bargaining table could be fun.
In the seventh and final inning, the other team scored
two runs. Jenessa rallied her team. “We can’t let them win. Nan ,
Simone, just get on and I’ll bring you in.”
They walked. She strode to the plate and connected
with the first pitch. The ball soared over the heads of the outfielders. She
trotted past first. “I was safe.”

LOL - every baseball game ever. Safe!
Sounds like she enjoyed that confrontation!
Good for Jenessa getting in the last word!
I enjoy when the heroine gets the last, triumphant word in and she doesn't feel guilty about it.
As Winston Churchill said, "Never give up. Never ever give up." This sounds like a battle I'd like to read!
Gotta have the last word, to make your point. Good for her
