 Robin Covington offers up a hot, sultry Southern second chance romance in Southern Nights and Secrets and I loved it. A ruggedly handsome ER doctor whose past comes back to bite him in his smackable a$$ (okay Robin doesn't call it that but in my imagination he has one) and the woman whose heart he broke 9 years ago and now holds his future in her hands. Secrets, lies, self doubt threaten to keep them apart, but the chemistry and feelings between them keep them in a constant state of motion, the only question can they go forward or do they admit defeat and move on? 
 Dr. Beckett Sutherland is known as one of the best ER doctors around, but he's also known as a loose cannon, an adrenaline junkie, and a womanizer. No one can discount his medical prowess or the fact that he has a great bedside manner in and out of the hospital , but his extracurricular activities makes the board of directors nervous and threatens his appointment as team leader in the ER especially when he realizes the one woman who has ever made him feel anything and the one he screwed over royally will be on the committee to appoint him. 
 Virginia "Ginger" Crawford can't believe her bad luck when she discovers Beck in her hospital. She lands her dream job of Director of Operations and now has to deal with a man from her past that did a royal number on her. She knows she can be professional, but she can't help the way that Beck still affects her even after all these years. 
 It was interesting watching both Beck and Ginger try to fight off their attraction and feelings for one another especially when it is so obvious they want one another. I did appreciate that Ginger quickly saw the other side of Beck; the side that started a charity to help disadvantaged youths find their way and he allowed her to see where he came from and why he does all he can to help people. I liked that through Beck we learned a bit about Ginger's background, but I would have like to know her a bit more. I felt like by the time this book ended, we saw the whole Beck; what makes him tick, why he reacts the way he does, and his feelings of unworthiness. While the sexiness factor was off the charts between these two and there was no doubting they both had some feelings, but I would have liked a bit more real conversation between them about the here and now and not just about the past. 
 Just like the ER that the hero works in Robin Covington's Southern Nights and Secrets is fast paced, exciting, and a bit dangerous add that to the combustible chemistry between the main characters and you have a winner of a romance.
