One Night With Dr Nikolaides is the first book n the Hot Greek Docs series by Annie O'Neil. I'll start by saying that I'm looking forward to reading the others.

This book was lovely - warm, well written, with adorable characters.

Thank you to M&B and to Netgalley for allowing me to read a copy of this in exchange for an honest review.

One Night with Dr Nikolaides is written by Annie O'Neil and published by Mills & Boon Medical. The first novel in the Hot Greek Docs mini series, One Night with Dr Nikolaides Cailey Tomaras, a nurse who has returned home to the Greek island of Mythelios to visit her family, encounters Dr Theo Nikolaides, a GP who works in the island's clinic during an earthquake. They both work tirelessly to help the injured. Theo and Cailey knew each other when they were teenagers living on the island. Theo's overbearing (rich) father resent/ed that his son wanted to go into medicine rather than business and also did not want his son to associate with Cailey. Theo and his father came to an arrangement which allowed him to train to be a GO whilst Theo's father's machinations meant Cailey went to the UK to study to become a nurse, hence he broke them up! After one night of passion she realises there will be life long consequences in the shape of a baby. Now all she has to do is persuade Theo that he will make a great dad.

The book blurb gives the plot in a nutshell - in this Hot Greek Docs story, when an earthquake hits the Greek island of Mythelios, Nurse Cailey Tomaras rushes to help—only to encounter childhood crush Dr Theo Nikolaides! As the trauma fades they find comfort between the sheets… But when Cailey realises the consequences of that she must prove to lone wolf Theo that he’d make the perfect dad. There are some really good characters in this story, and an awful elderly greek father who caused the first breakup between Theo and Cailey. I would highly recommend this book and hope to read more about Theo's sister in the future.

I enjoyed the reawakening of the romance between Dr Thei and nurse Cailey whi were brought back together following an earthquake on their island. As they work together so their romance, which Theo’s dom8neering fatherhas managed to thwart, is reignited. I found the story sweet but rather slow and predictable.

I did enjoy this book but found it to be rather slight plot wise. The hero and heroine were very likeable characters but the overbearing father who controls the island was not believable to me in the 21st century. Also, I could not believe the heroine would forget to take the morning after pill after battling so hard with the hero to be prescribed it! That said, it was a nice book to read and would be the perfect novel to enjoy while sitting on a plane to Greece this summer.

I do love a second chance romance. Theo & Cailey knew each when they were kids. Theo's dad was a nasty piece of work. He is a very rich man who knows how to get what he wants. He has great expectations of his son and being with his housemaids daughter isn't one of them. He forces Cailey to leave the island, she comes to England and becomes a neo natal nurse. Theo is now a doctor running a free clinic on the island. Something his father isn't happy about. When a bad earthquake happens, Cailey jumps on a plane to help. When she meets Theo again, the chemistry is still there. At the end of a long shift working together they go to his place. After spending an incredible night together. Cailey wakes up and realizes they didn't use any protection. I've got to say I found it really annoying how she then reacted. She blurts out she needs the morning after pill and then when Theo agrees she gets mad at him. The poor guy couldn't win. I really liked Theo he seemed like a decent guy. Especially with the father he has. Will they work through their issues to find a happy ever after? Pick up a copy and see. Recommended for fans of second chance romance.

One Night With Dr Nikolaides is book one in the Hot Greek Docs series by Annie O'Neil in the Mills & Boon Medical series of books.

Dr Theo Nikolaides much to his father's disgust has forgone following in the man's footsteps and has become a GP in a clinic in Mythelios, Greece. When a devastating earthquake hits the island Theo makes a plea on the news for any medical help that can be given.

Nurse Cailey Tomaras used to live on the island and she had a crush on Theo for years. For reasons you will see when you read the book, Cailey moved away from Greece to the UK where she trained to become a nurse. When she saw Theo's call for help she knew she had to return to help her people and to make sure her family who still lived there were OK.

Theo was thunderstruck when he saw Cailey in his clinic, he had kissed her once when they were younger and he had never forgotten it. He was upset when she left the island years ago without even saying goodbye, but he couldn't dwell on that, not when she was here to help out in the clinic. His patients were his first priority.

Despite the circumstances of her leaving the island with both of them feeling hurt and not realising that there was some dramatic miscommunication between them, they both felt as if they had never been apart. Cailey realised she never stopped loving Renzo, and Renzo realised that if nothing else he lusted after the older more confident Cailey.

After some fabulous medical drama from the patients hurt in the earthquake Cailey and Renzo were exhausted and when help arrived to take over in the clinic the couple could finally leave. Cailey hadn't found a place to stay yet, so Renzo offered her his spare room. She didn't want to take it, but as she had no other options right then, she agreed. In actual fact, she didn't end up using it because practically the minute they entered his home they found themselves passionately kissing. One thing led to another and they finally after all the years apart made hot steamy love! They made no promises to each other and told themselves they were OK with that.

Of course, things couldn't be that simple for them. Especially when the morning after the night before Cailey realises that they didn't use birth control. Renzo is horrified at the thought of being a father, he has never known love from his own father, so how can he possibly know how to give it to a child of his, or to the woman who might have that child. His reaction crushes Cailey. From then on she remains cordial with him but is trying to harden her heart to him until she can fly back to the UK and her old life there.

When he finds out before she leaves that Cailey is indeed pregnant, he is adamant he will be no good for either of them and that they deserve better. He doesn't explain that to Cailey though so she finds herself heartbroken and back in London before long. She is finished with Renzo and tells him that he has had his one and only chance with her and she doesn't want to see him or hear from him ever again. Will he come to his senses, and if he does, will Cailey give him another chance?

This book had me hooked from the very beginning when the earthquake occurs. The medical drama was fascinating to read about, and I especially liked the one patient who came in in early labour! I really enjoyed the relationship between Renzo and Cailey but at times I just wish they would sit down and talk because there was so much of them thinking for the other person rather than getting everything out in the open. All in all, this was a very good read and I recommend it fully.

3.5 - Quite an impact for an unexpected reunion... Stars!

We begin the new Hot Greek Docs series on the island of Mythelios, just ravaged by a savage earthquake, Dr. Theo Nikolaides, is working round the clock in the Islands medical free clinic to help the injured. The earthquake also prompts Cailey Tomaras to hop on a flight from London back to her home in order to help out as much as she can with her skills as a nurse invaluable.

How on earth she thought she would be immune to him even after all this time was beyond her…

Ten years have passed since this couple have last seen each other, the chemistry and flirting takes off as soon as they reconnect. But both of them are keeping their own secrets, and all of them revolve around one man… Theo’s father, and none of them are good.

"You’re different from me… You’re different."

The Blurb gives you all you need to deduce where the plot goes in this one, One Night as you can guess, produces something that in nine months will bind them together, whether they want it or not.

She was the most beautiful woman in the room –both inside and out- and he was letting her just walk away from him…

Great beginning, upto and including the One Night they spent together, the aftermath and the reasons for the pregnancy left me a little underwhelmed in terms of the direction the author took, and to be honest, although the title is all about it being just the one, I think the connection would have been more believable between them if the author had added a few more steamy encounters along the way, I didn’t really buy the whole progression of their relationship because once the mistake happened, they barely spent any time together afterwards.

The moment she’d appeared at the clinic it was as it… as if he’d been made whole.

I really liked the end, and the author does a decent job of introducing the rest of the men that will likely feature in this series (although none of them actually make an appearance in this book.) Seeing as the next installment; Tempted by Dr. Patera is written by a completely different author I can understand why. I’ll definitely be looking to read the rest of the series, and more from Annie O’Neil in the future as well.
