Summary: The new "doc" in town.
Review: "Banner O'Brien" is another great book by Linda Lael Miller. I loved it. Banner is a strong, courageous, fiesty female who earned her doctor's degree and deserved to practice. So what she is a female. It was time for a change and Banner was just the person to initiate the change. Banner came to town to help another doctor who was injured and meets Dr. Adam Corbin, the source of the other doctor's injury. Banner's and Adam's coming together is rocky at first, but as each put their differences aside and love enters, their situation gradually smooths out. Adam no longer sees Banner as a rival and a doctor, but as the woman he loves. In turn, Banner returns his feelings. Banner is indeed just what the doctor ordered! "Banner O'Brien" is the beggining of the Corbin legacy. A great series and great reading. I loved them all.

Summary: Writing by Rote
Review: Each time I begin reading a Lael-Miller novel I tell myself that its the last book by this author that I'll read. Yet, I am sometimes swayed by a particularly appealing story line outlined on the back cover. Banner O'Brien is no different. I did a lot of eye rolling throughout, from the first time the good doctor refers to the heroine as "Shamrock" (for the color of her eyes), to the stunted and unemotional ending. The main characters lacked a development that normally leads the reader to root for them. In fact, very early on they declared their love for one another. Boring! All the hero and heroine had in common was a somewhat delicious sex life and their choosen professions. The villians lacked development as well, and the end seemed to culminate in one page with a barely perceptible shrug. It seems as though this novel was written on auto pilot.

Summary: Not one of Millers best.
Review: I enjoyed this book and look forward to finding and reading some sequels to it. I have read many of linda's books and her vampire series had to have been her best. So if you read this book and want to give up on the author.. Don't.

Summary: A fun, fast paced read.
Review: I gave a great deal of credit to Banner who made it to the top as far as women of that time were concerned. A fine match for her feisty mother in law. It's a romance, so it would be believable or even likely that they could have fallen in love in a week or a day. And besides, once in awhile it happens in real life. The main characters were playful and charming and if he spanked her once or twice, I don't believe it was spousal abuse. But this was another place or another time. It wouldn't work in a story set now, but let's hope it was just a lighthearted way to handle her willfulness. In anycase, it did not detract from the book. When I found that there was yet another Corbin book, I ordered it as fast as I could.

Summary: This is one of Miller's best!
Review: I have read Banner O'Brien several times and each time I enjoy it more than the last. Banner is spirited and an equal match for Adam! This book is the first of the Corbin series and I love them all! Some may object to the fact that Adam spanks Banner twice but it was not overdone and was even funny when he spanked her in front of his mother, who tried not to notice! I love all of the Corbin's and would love to see a book about Katherine and Daniel's story! Please Linda, don't let the Corbin series have ended!

Summary: Banner O'Brien is a keeper!
Review: I read alot of romances, and it's not very often that I find one that I'll read again. But this one is about a woman who pulled herself up out of a destructive marriage and then got through medical school when there were few woman who did so. After all they couldn't even vote. The romance is playful and humorous, as well as having heart-ache and suspense, and a bit of a surprise ending.
