Heartbeat

Carmen Day has a job she loves in the medical Photography Department at Royal Hospital. Her comfortable work is threatened, however, when downsizing expert Max Devereaux announces his palns to shut the department down in a cost cutting measure. When Carmen finds out and storms into Max's office to demand he reconsider, he is so impresses with her spirit and drive that he does-somewhat. He gives Carmen one weel to convince him to leave the department open.Carmen's best friend gives her what sounds like sound advice: Make Max fall in love with you and your job will be saved. However Carmen loses her heart in the process and she finds out that Max has romanced every woman that he has fired in the past.Has Carmen really won Max's heart or will she be just another statistic in the ledger of "Max the Axe".One of the reasons why I liked this book was because of the tension and the conflict between Max and Carmen. It was so tense and real that a real live person could relate. Carmen is a sassy heroine and Max is her equal counterpart. I really recommend this book for anyone who wants a few hours of enjoyable reading.
