Medivac helicopter pilot Jett McNally's heart belongs to an Army officer she left behind in Afghanistan, and good-time anesthesiologist Tristan Holmes is no substitute, except possibly in bed.
When Jett comes home from the war and destruction in the Middle East, everyone she knows thinks she should be happy. How can she explain she left a big part of her life behind, including her heart? Flying and the adrenaline-rush of a crisis are the only things that make her happy, and she volunteers to fly night call where all the action is. So maybe once in a while she takes a few chances. Hey, that's life, right?
Dr. Tristan Holmes is an expert at two things--high risk anesthesia and pleasing women. Sure she plans on settling down - later - like in ten years. Until then, life is meant to be lived, and Jett McNally really gets her engines revving. Since she isn't looking for anything more than a good time, Tris can't understand why it bothers her so much that Jett isn't either. After all, why spoil a great relationship by getting serious?
High-stakes medical drama, life on the edge, and love in the fast lane--it's all just routine for Night Call.

I have read some of Radclyffe's other books, and while I enjoyed them somewhat more than I did this one, they seem to all fall into the same pattern. Not only that "girl meets girl, girl fights obstacle, girl and girl live happily ever after..." but the pattern of the lesbian Utopia that Radclyffe visits every single time, where there are only lesbians and lesbian friendly people as far as the eye can see, and also that the dialogue between all her characters fall heavily, if not pretty completely, into one of two camps, either telling each other how much they love each other, or what they are doing to each another sexually. There is never any depiction of lesbians as real people in their interactions with each other, or anyone else, having real conversations and emotions and moods and moments of flat out snarkiness or anger or pain, except when character is about to succumb to the best sex she has ever had, after which everything is hunkydory, true love is declared, even if they have only known each other for three days, and they ride off into the sunset together. This sums up Tristan and Jett completely.
Honor and Quinn are a long term couple who, like all of Radclyffe's other couples, say little to each other except how much they love each other. Angelic child, invisible grandmother on site whose sole function is to do for them and serve them, even literally calling her to tell her to come over and make breakfast for them. Not one moment of post partum or complication response from Honor. Not one thought even of annoyance or anger from Quinn when Honor insists on going to work after the huge accident, only days after being near death giving traumatic birth. Not one moment of brattiness from angelic child. Not even one moment of snarkiness from the grandmother, who might rightfully wonder, since Quinn and Honor were both extremely busy doctors who already had one child she had to care for,and as she was already waiting on the three of them hand and foot, why they chose to have another child.. Not one real natural emotion,or sharing of thoughts and feelings day to day, only repeated "I love you's."
I know Radclyffe can write better than this. It seems a laziness to just keep casting different names, and the nonstop "cutesy" whatever names are wearying too, Saxon, Pearce, Winter, Jett, Tristan, Quinn, Reece, Arly...??? into the same old same old. How about some character humanization and development? How about some plot development? Unfortunately lesbians settle for poor quality fiction as it is mostly what is out there. Don't settle!

Disappointed...not my favorite Radclyffe. The Jett and Tristan storyline was exhausting. I didn't like the tortured head games they played. The only thing that kept me reading was hoping Honor and Quinn would pop up occasionally.

Top rate story! Exhilarating and Sexy..
Fabulous novel. I truly enjoy this author's work and find her writing, turn of phrase and pacing of her novels addictive.
I only wish I could have stayed home from work to read this in one day as I did not want to put it down.
We have helicopter pilot Jett McNally who recently left the US military after thirteen years and is keeping to herself, for more than one reason, in her new position flying the night shift for a hospital in Philadelphia.
Dr. Tristan Holmes at twenty-nine is a highly qualified doctor who comes into frequent contact with Jett when dangerous rescues by helicopter may be the only means to save a life.
From Radclyffe's beautiful novel 'Fated Love', Dr. Quinn Maguire young trauma surgeon and her partner Dr. Honor Blake chief of the emergency room await the birth of their child while juggling everything that goes with a two income growing family, work, and friends.
