"Medical romance is becoming synonymous with talented, award-winning author, Jessica Matthews.  HIS BABY BOMBSHELL is a delightful story of two adults that let their sense of responsibility and pride muddy their feelings for each other but eventually find out what love really means."  - Cataromance reviews

"Jessica Matthews outdid herself in writing this story.  She had so many twists and turns I found it impossible to put the book down.  I always had to read 'just one more page to find out what happens next'.  Jessica's imagination in setting up tension scenes for the hero and heroine take second place to no one!  Her solutions to these scenes are inspirational.  The book was a joy to read.  I especially loved the end." - Pink Heart Society review on HIS BABY BOMBSHELL.

"...an entertaining read." (4 stars)  - Romantic Times on THE ROYAL DOCTOR'S BRIDE.

What do I think of when I think of a Jessica Matthews' romance?  Warm hearted, a wonderful sense of community, and that 'Ahhhh' factor. That feeling you get when you reach the end of a well written romance that the hero and heroine were truly meant for one another, rather than the author having hammered them together. Not all authors have the 'Ahhh' gift, but Jessica Matthews does, and she has it by the bucketful."  -  Maggie Kingsley, author of A WIFE WORTH WAITING FOR and A BABY FOR EVE.

"Jessica Matthews' medicals are always thought provoking and inspiring. Her characters come alive as they handle life-threatening situations that keep you turning the pages." - Barbara Baldwin, author of NEVADA GOLD.  

"TURBULENCE is a terrific addition to the popular CODE RED books, and the hero and heroine are some of the best drawn in the series.  Dana Ivie is a smart, sassy go-getter, with a wonderfully vulnerable side.  Micky Flynn is so cute and cocky, it's a joy to see him fall fast and hard for her.  The writing sparkles along with them, as Jessica Matthews deftly captures their wit, heroism, and depth, keeping you interested in what happens to them right to the very end."  - Kathryn Shay, author of Code Red's THE UNKNOWN TWIN and NOTHING MORE TO LOSE, part of the Hidden Cover firefighter trilogy.

"Jessica Matthews pens a poignant tale of new beginnings and second chances."   - Romantic Times, on "A Very Special Christmas."

"Jessica Matthews' engrossing story will tug at your heartstrings.  Claire's sensitivity and kindness will endear her to the readers whereas you will fall for Alex's quiet charm and generous spirit from the very first page. Add a cast of delightful supporting characters to the mix and you've got a heartwarming and emotional story that will keep you turning the pages late into the night.   A VERY SPECIAL CHRISTMAS is a very special book indeed and if you've never read a Medical Romance before, then get ready for a very healthy addiction!" - CataRomance Reviews.
