About this ebook

Rebel had been called to the US when she’d been informed that her brother was dying, but she arrived too late. He left behind a devastated wife, two small children, and a load of debt. Rebel stayed to help out as best she could, taking a job at the local hospital, but working conditions there were unbearable, and she had no choice but to quit or kill someone—namely the head nurse. And as a doctor, she had taken an oath to save lives, not take them.

Rodney ran a small practice. He handled the medical care for the local schools and worked at the hospital when needed for emergencies. And when a little boy came into his office to get stitched up from being ambushed by bullies, Rodney knew he had to get to the bottom of the problem. When the boy’s Aunt Rebel shows up and takes over, Rodney instantly knows who she is to him—his mate. Having to approach her with the subject had his cat curling up inside him. He had watched his brothers flounder around with their new mates, and he didn’t want to start off on the wrong foot.

It didn’t take but a minute for Rebel to assess the new situation, and she wasn’t sure how she felt about it. She also needed a job, not a handout. She was a doctor, damn it, and a good one. No man, especially one she didn’t know, was going to order her around. If he thought he could, she’d let him know fast that she was no pushover.

Ratings and reviews

'Rodney' is Kathi S. Barton's fourth book in her "Marshall's Shadow" series and is filled with all the adventure, drama, angst, chemistry, and romance I've come to expect from one of her books. This time she takes us on Dr. Rodney Marshall's journey and what a journey it becomes!! A small boy comes into the clinic covered in blood begging both Dr. Rodney and his nurse not to call his Aunt. Thinking the child was afraid of the woman he starts to examine him when the woman, his Aunt Dr. Rebel Walsh, barges into the exam room and proceeds to strip the boy down to examine him. Rodney had met her before at a school board meeting and had his suspicions then but now being this close to her, realizes she's his mate. It seems she came to the US when she was notified her brother was dying. Unfortunately, she didn't make it in time to say goodbye to him but she's stayed to help her sister-in-law with their two children and the mess that seems to be consuming them. Once again Ms. Barton has given us a strong, loyal, compassionate, and determined Hero and heroine. There's a bit more action in this one than in the previous stories. Wait until you meet Rebel, Shannon, and Paige. I can't wait to read Heath's story next.
