Review-Come Closer by Brenda Rothert

My rating is 5 out of 5 stars

This book was unlike anything I’ve read by Brenda yet, and it was is so very good. I would call this a thriller/suspense romance. I’m not giving any book details per Brenda’s request so I will just tell you that if you want a book that keeps you on your toes and is also a forbidden romance, thisn is definitely a 5 star read

Sometimes appearances deceive. Take me, for instance. I look like a respectable doctor with his shit together, but the rural Montana mental hospital I work at is actually a sanctuary from my demons. At just thirty-five years old, I’ve already failed on an epic scale. Treating patients at Hawthorne Hill is part of my atonement.
I’ve found peace when a new patient turns me inside out. Allison Cole is a beautiful, haunted survivor who fell into silence after witnessing a murder. But even without words, I’m drawn to her. The closer we get, the more I’m tempted to cross my professional boundaries and give in to my desire.
Soon I find myself in a desperate race to put the pieces of Allison’s silence together. Her life becomes inextricably entwined with mine as I fight to save the second chance I never thought I’d have. I’ll break whatever rules I have to in order to protect this woman who’s been to hell and back. For her, I’ll do harm.
