From New York Times, USA Today, and WSJ bestselling author Catherine Bybee comes the third novel in the delicious Not Quite series.

Monica Mann has made it her life’s work to save lives. After an earthquake and tsunami hit the shores of Jamaica, she volunteers her trauma skills with Borderless Nurses. Calculating and methodical, Monica creates order out of whatever chaos she finds.

Until she finds the perpetually barefoot, impossibly masculine Trent Fairchild. No one can pin him down. No, really. He’s a pilot and manages a small fleet of choppers on his adopted island home. Hopelessly drawn to one another, they manage to slip away from the wreckage to get a little closer. And they get a lot closer than expected when aftershocks from the earthquake trap them in their own life-or-death scenario. Paradise has brought them together. Now will it tear them apart?

This was the third installment in the Not Quite series, and hopefully not the last. Monica Mann is a registered nurse who works the ER shift at her local hospital. Growing restless with her surroundings, Monica signs up to be on call with Nurses without Borders. When an Earthquake and then Tsunami strike Jamaica, Monica gets called in to go help. Her boss is not pleased that she will be losing a nurse, and gives Monica a hard time about her upcoming volunteer relief work.
Once in Jamaica, Monica meets Trent Fairchild, who is the man who pilots the helicopter that takes Monica and her co-worker, Dr. Walt Eddy and another nurse to where the main hospital is located, that because of the Tsunami, is unreachable by roads. Monica is terrified of heights, so Trent flirts with her to keep her mind occupied on anything but her surroundings. Monica, whose nickname back home is Ice Queen, finds Trent charming and cute. But before she can get to know him better, he's back in the air and she is surrounded by the sick and dying.
After being at the main hospital for 24 hours, Monica is told that she is needed at a clinic on another part of the island and that Trent will be by to pick her up and take her there. Both are eager to see each other again, and when their mild flirting turns a little bit more serious, Monica begins to panic. Having just broken up with her boyfriend before she left California because he was asking her friends about what type of engagement ring she would like, and Monica wasn't as into him as he was to her, Monica makes sure to let Trent know that this will not be a permanent thing. Especially because he lives in Jamaica.
When the pair arrive at the new clinic, to Monica's horror, they find that the building is falling down, there is a secretary who is doing triage, one nurse helping where she can, and one doctor. There is no order of semblance, and Monica quickly enlists all able bodies, Trent included in helping her to organize the patients by minor medical attention needed to get a body bag.
When Monica finally gets a day off to rest because more help has finally arrived, she agrees to go back to Trent's house to get some much needed sleep and a decent shower. When Monica awakes 13 hours later, Trent and Monica go for a picnic in a secluded area of the beach near his house. WHile the two are in a cave finally getting down to business, another Earthquake hits, and traps the pair in the cave, with a rock crushing Monica's leg underneath.
Meanwhile back at her job, Monica is on the verge of being fired because one of the people she lined up to cover her shift called in sick, and there was no one there to replace her. Since her boss already had it out for her, this just added another opportunity to fire Monica.
When the pair are finally rescued thanks in part to Jessie, Monica's sister realizing that she can track her sister's cell phone, Monica is now deathly ill and in dire need of medical attention. She is whisked away to a Miami hospital and Trent follows later. When Trent goes to visit Monica, a huge misunderstanding happens, and Trent leaves. Monica, who was unconscious during his visit and didn't know about the misunderstanding doesn't understand why Trent would leave the hospital without saying goodbye. While Monica knew their fling wouldn't last, a goodbye wouldn't have killed either one of them.
Months later, Monica is at home fighting for her job, which has been terminated and her license revoked due to her using the disaster as a free ticket to go visit her boyfriend, or so say the charges against her. Trent is called in by Jack, her brother in law to help clear her name. When the pair meet up again, it isn't love at first sight, instead, Monica lays into him and walks away. Trent spends the next few days trying to make everything up to her.

I have to say that while this wasn't my favorite book in the series, it has my utmost respect. What nurses go through in order to save their patients is downright heroic. Ms. Bybee is a former nurse, so seeing firsthand what nurses go through in the trenches is awesome. Running on very little sleep and food, these nurses fight like hell to save their patients, all the while pushing aside their own feelings on how things will turn out in order to keep the families thinking positively, even if the outcome is clearly not going to be a good one.
Both characters were very well developed and I loved that the characters from the other two books were included and their stories advanced. What I would have liked more of was the romance part! That part felt rushed. I felt like there was very little slow build up of the romance, then suddenly they were together, then apart, then....I won't spoil the ending!
I do hope there is a continuation of this series, because I love the characters, and I love Ms. Bybee's writing style.

It's no secret that I am a huge fan of Catherine Bybee and that I loved the first two books in the "Not Quite" series, but there is no question this is my favorite of the three.

We got to know Monica Mann in both of the previous "Not Quite" books, but in "Not Quite Enough" we really got to see a different side of her, which I loved. While that spunky, fiery woman we got to know before was still there, we also got to see her dedication to her job and to the efforts to help those in distress following a natural disaster. Oh and let's not forget to mention the sparks that flew almost immediately between Monica and Trent Richardson, the helicopter pilot that she met while assisting with the relief efforts following the tsunami in Jamaica.

Both Monica and Trent tried to deny what was developing between them due to circumstances from both of their pasts, couple that with a major misunderstanding and less than desirable conditions and you have the makings of quite a path that both these two people take throughout the book.

Catherine Bybee has done it once again, this book was a pure joy to read and I can't wait for the next adventure she takes us on!

5.0 out of 5 stars Disaster Relief with Romance Mixed In
Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2020

Not Quite Enough is the third book in the Not Quite Series. It can be enjoyed as a stand-alone book. The characters from books 1 & 2 are briefly in this book. This book had more depth of character, more emotional connection and was by far the best of the series so far.

Monica Mann is the little sister of Jessie in book 1. She has finished her nursing degree and is working as a nurse in the emergency room. A doctor friend, Walt, approaches her about doing borderless nurses, a group who helps with disaster relief. He works with the doctors without borders group.

Monica goes to Florida for training for a couple weeks to be prepared to help borderless nurses. When a tsunami hits Jamaica, the doctors and nurses are mobilized to help. When the land, they meet the disaster relief coordinator and Trent "barefoot" Fairchild who shuttled them by helicopter to makeshift clinics to help those in need.

A good portion of this book is about disaster relief, though not in too graphic detail. There is romance, but it is sort of sprinkled through what needs to be done for those injured or dying. Trent takes Monica to a remote clinic where the doctor hasn't been seen since the tsunami hit. Monica drafts Trent to stay and help with a couple other local people. They treat those they can and Trent flies the stabilized people who need more attention back to the doctors at the main clinic.

There are a few plot twists toward the end and you find yourself hoping Monica and Trent get their happy ending.

A great storyline, couldn’t put this book down Monica and Trent’s rollercoaster story, so much happening. Monica an ER trauma nurse was asked to join a team of doctors and nurses to help in Jamaica after they were devastated with an earthquake which led to a tsunami, it needed to be cleaned up and suffering people needed help. Very sad with lots of drama. Monica met Trent when they arrived in Jamaica and needed to be flown to the hospital by helicopter, she was terrified, Trent the pilot was barefoot, which shocked her then it was arranged that she sit in front with him. She managed not to puke. They were desperate for help in a clinic in another town. Trent was asked to take her to the clinic and help out. She went hours without sleep work was non stop, her boss told her to get some sleep but there was nowhere to sleep. Trent lived half an hour away, his house was built almost disaster free, he offered her to stay at his house. She crashed as soon as she got there. It was the start of their friendship. There was more to this story, lots of sadness, drama, struggles, but eventually a lovely romantic ending, phew! Definitely recommend this book.
