Time for a pulp countdown, and as it's #InternationalNursesDay here's my top 10 strangest settings for nurse romance novels!

Seriously, did you think they were all set in hospitals?

At #10: nurse at a beauty contest! Gaiety and glamour, danger and unexpected love: sounds about right...

At #9: nurse on a dude ranch! Dude, it's rude to stare...

At #8: nurse in society! Privilege and palliatives amongst the well-to-do and the well-to-dont...

At #7: nurse in a TV studio. Oh the heartache and danger of being an, er, erm, what do producers actually do again?

At #6: nurse in an ice hockey rink! Will he 'put the biscuit in the basket' or is she lining up a slap shot? Only time will tell...

At #5: nurse under the sea! Scuba and sadness, passion and porpoises etc...

At #4: nurse in the Peace Corps! Let it all hang out? No - shove it all back in and suture it! Now wash your hands...

At #3: nurse on surf safari! "Let's go nursing now, everybody's learning how, come on nurse safari with meeee..."

At #2: nurse in an art colony! She's strangely drawn to the wrong man...

An at #1: nurse in space! Cue "Clouds Across The Moon" please...

So happy #NursesDay2020 everybody! More pulp countdowns another time...
