Good--not quite great

The best way I can characterize this book is that it's a lot like "A Hasty Wedding," but not quite as good. Maggie Sullivan, a slightly shy, slightly lonely social worker, first (literally) runs into Luke August at the hospital one day, when Luke is having a wheelchar race with a young cancer patient. Luke, a self-confessed daredevil and adrenaline junkie, frequently endures hospitalizations for injuries sustained in pursuit of the ultimate thrill. Well, the mutual attraction is immediate, and since both are scared out of their wits by it, both react defensively: Maggie runs, and Luke lies. Of course, the lesson's pretty clear; Maggie has to learn that the rewards of love are worth its risks, and Luke has to learn that loving Maggie will provide him with the greatest thrills of his life. I liked most of this story; the point was (mostly) good and the humor was great. It is a keeper for me. But I was disappointed that the sexual relationship came before the marriage--not only is that flat-out backward!, but here the (brief) sex scenes also basically didn't add much to the story. And I understand that this book is part of a continuity, but I really wondered about the inclusion of "pseudo" health professional Dr. Richard Strong: although much is suggested, his story is left unresolved, and provides a strange "loose end" in the book.
