Synopsis: Dr. Andie Fine lives, eats, and breathes her job as a trauma surgeon. Another day, another surgery, another life saved. That is, until the night a certain car accident victim lands on her operating room table. The strange connection she feels with this particular patient impacts her in every way.
Vaughn Bennett is a brilliant artist whose life has been defined by a specific pair of eyes for over twenty-years. The only piece of a girl he could remember from an experience he could never forget. Countless sketches and thousands of hours trying to capture her likeness have haunted him. Waking up from a coma in a hospital room is not how he thought he’d finally find her. With one look, he knew.
Andie is a career-focused, medical professional. Falling for a patient is out of the question, but Vaughn is determined to win her over. He elicits something in her that she’s never realized she was missing. No matter how hard she tries to fight it, he won’t stop until she’s his.
Until fate has a way of complicating things.
I read an ARC of this author's debut book way back in 2014 and I'm not sure why I didn't continue with the second book in the series! The author then approached me and asked me if I'd like to sign up for events for this book, so I decided to review because the synopsis intrigued me! I'm really happy I did because this book was really, really good! I will admit that there was a lot of description in this book, which I normally don't like, but all of it was relevant and added to the plot! The plot developed at a nice pace and it kept me wanting to read on and find out what was going to happen next! It started with a bit of a bang too and then had quite a few twist and turns as it progressed! The romance in the plot was also very beautiful and I liked that it developed slowly and it wasn't instant! The romance allowed for a few hot scenes too and they were pretty hot! The plot also went in a different direction that I was expecting and it got very emotional! The characters were also amazing and made this book even better! Andie was the main female character, and in this book she worked in a hospital, which meant that she worked long hours and worked very, very hard! This made me have a lot of respect for her! Andie was also easy for me to connect with and I didn't lose that connection with her! I liked that she got nervous around her love intertest at the beginning too and then her confidence grew! My heart also went out to Andie in this book, but I don't want to say too much because it's a spoiler! Vaughn was the main male character and love intertest of Andie! It actually took a while for Vaughn to actually come into this book, but that would be a spoiler if I told you why lol! I loved Vaughn when he was in this book though! He was such a sweetheart and I loved the way he was with Andie too! She was stubborn, but Vaughn refused to give up lol! It was easy to see Vaughn's feelings develop for Andie as well and he really cared for her! Vaughn had also been through a lot, but he had come a long way and made a good life for himself! I loved that this book was written from both Andie and Vaughn's point of views! I was hoping that it was going to be after I read the synopsis, so I'm really happy that it was! It added a lot to the plot, especially as the characters were going through their own issues and spent some time apart! It helped me connect more with both characters too! I can completely understand why this book is a standalone! I really wish that it wasn't because I would love to read more on Andie and Vaughn, but the ending was left at the perfect place for the characters and was very beautiful! All the questions raised in the plot were answered too! I still have one of this author's other releases to read and I'll definitely be reading it soon! I can't wait to find out what this author is going to release next too! The cover for this book is also perfect for it! It really suits the feel of the book and it matches the title perfectly too! It would make me click on it if I saw it whilst scrolling through Amazon too! Big thank you to Stacey and Give Me Books for an ARC of Eye Contact!
