Dangerous Tides
Feehan, Christine.
New York: Berkley Pub., c2006.
The Drake sisters are the 7 daughters of a seventh daughter or something equally magical. The first book mentions a prophecy about them all finding love in the same year but after that, they don't go into detail. Personally, I would like a bit more of a reminder of the lines to keep it alive. Though paranormal, the books deal strongly with the power of family and sisterhood in particular.They can communicate telephathically, and aid and comfort each other over great distances. Each book deals with a sister finding true love, from the eldest to the youngest. This gives you time to start appreciating each member.
Dangerous Tides is the fourth in the series and features Dr. Libby Drake. Not only a successful physician, her magical ability is to heal by taking pain into herself. Her love interest is a genius biochemist that she's always admired from afar. Turns out he felt the same way. Unfortunately being a scientist, he can't accept her belief in magic. This provides much of the drama and tension as he treats Libby as if she's alternately crazy, then brainwashed by her family. Throw in a jealous rival, death threats, and stalking. This sounds like a hokey premise but these are pretty good books. I would recommend them if you want a light diversion.
