If you like medical drama, workplace romance, enemies to lovers, opposites attract and forced proxity, with a dash of romantic suspense, this book is for you. Tiffany and Ethan were such a fun couple to get to know. Tiffany is known as 'the Ice Queen' around the hospital and Ethan is a giant golden retriever.

In Melissa's books, there is always depth to the characters so the romance feels more genuine. They build a connection based on their pasts. Having the suspense part of the story added to the plot organically and felt natural.

Melissa also offers both a sweet and spicy version of the book, so readers can choose the option they prefer. I think that's so cool!

'Paging Dr. Hart' door Dr. Melissa Dymond is een meeslepende medische roman die romantiek en spanning op een boeiende manier combineert. Het verhaal volgt Dr. Tiffany Hart, een toegewijde radioloog met een mysterieus verleden, en Dr. Ethan Clark, een charmante nieuwe collega die vastbesloten is haar ijzige façade te doorbreken. Hun relatie ontwikkelt zich van professionele rivaliteit naar een diepere connectie, terwijl Tiffany's verleden hen blijft achtervolgen.​

De auteur verweeft op vaardige wijze twee tijdlijnen: Tiffany's turbulente jeugd en haar huidige leven als arts. Deze structuur biedt de lezer een diepgaand inzicht in haar karakter en de redenen achter haar gereserveerde houding. De chemie tussen Tiffany en Ethan is voelbaar en hun interacties zijn zowel hartverwarmend als geloofwaardig. Daarnaast voegt de medische setting een authentieke dimensie toe aan het verhaal, wat liefhebbers van medische drama's zeker zullen waarderen.​

Wat 'Paging Dr. Hart' onderscheidt, is de balans tussen romantiek en suspense. Terwijl de romance zich langzaam ontvouwt, bouwt de spanning rondom Tiffany's verleden gestaag op, wat zorgt voor een pageturner die de lezer tot het einde in zijn greep houdt. Bovendien biedt de auteur zowel een 'spicy' als een 'sweet' versie van het boek aan, waardoor lezers kunnen kiezen op basis van hun voorkeur voor expliciete content. ​

Al met al is 'Paging Dr. Hart' een aanrader voor lezers die houden van een goed geschreven romantisch verhaal met een vleugje spanning en een diepgaande karakterontwikkeling.

Thank you NetGalley. I love anything she writes the character, their relationships, and the fact that she has open or closed door versions of her books.

The premise of it sounded intriguing. But ultimately, this was just okay.

I didn’t feel super connected to the characters or the storyline itself. And while I love a dual-timeline story, there was something about this one that felt disjointed from one another, and the pacing of the story in general felt off. The chapters were short, which was nice, but they also ended at strange and abrupt moments—almost like it was in the middle of a thought or description.

I liked Ethan, but Tiffany got on my nerves quite a bit, and I wasn’t really feeling the chemistry between them either. I just.. didn't care? And I caught myself skimming a lot. The suspense of Tiffany’s “dark past” is what kept me going.. but it ended up being very anticlimactic imo.

And the texts of someone using “you” and “U” in the same sentence literally drove me nuts. And so did “Tiffy.”

Overall, this had a lot of potential, but it wasn’t really for me.

There's really something about reverse grumpy x sunshine which is always SO fun! As a healthcare professional myself I'm a sucker for these kind of medical settings/forced proximity tropes. Light hearted with a touch a suspense and I loved the banter and conversation between our two docs. Highly enjoyed this one!

This was a fantastic romance. Twists, suspense, tension. The mystery was riveting. I . Right away, I was hooked with how odd this situation was, and things only increased, which had me on the edge of my seat.

A slow-burn medical romance with a touch of suspense, Paging Dr. Hart follows Dr. Tiffany Hart, a guarded radiology resident, as she’s forced to train the charming Dr. Ethan Clark. As their chemistry grows, so do the secrets from Tiffany’s past, threatening to unravel everything. The dual timeline adds emotional depth, though some pacing issues and predictable moments keep it from fully shining. A solid read for fans of medical romance!

When I began reading this book I was expecting your typical light hearted love story. I was pleasantly surprised that it also has great character development, page turning suspense and of course, a great romance. I love that Melissa Dymond offers two versions-one with spice and one without. This is a great read for fans of romantic comedy novels with a surprising element of page-turning suspense.

Sharp, well written medical/light suspense romance - really enjoyed the romance between the hero/heroine, but felt that the suspense element was a little overblown.

I really enjoyed this book and the way the dual timeline was used to add pressure to the story, and the resolution was really fitting for the characters. Overall this was a really good read and not your typical romance book.

"Paging Dr. Hart" is a captivating read that seamlessly blends medical drama with a steamy romance. The Doctors knowledge of the medical field shines through, making the hospital setting feel authentic and engaging. The plot twists and turns kept me hooked, and the characters were well-developed and relatable. If you're looking for a page-turner with a healthy dose of romance and medical intrigue, this book is worth checking out.

It was a fun and quick read with sizzling chemistry between the two leads. The author did a great job building tension and anticipation, and the spicy scenes were definitely a highlight. I really enjoyed this book!

Unfortunately, despite my excitement to read it, this book turned into a DNF very quickly. I found the pacing difficult and I was apathetic about the characters. I like a romance book I can get into, characters I can adore and relate to, and this book, unfortunately, did not have those elements. The premise is very exciting, and very creative, but the book itself did not live up to the expectations I had. I am giving the book three stars because the writing style was lovely outside of the pacing issues. i think the author is talented, but the book itself needed a bit more work for me to be able to enjoy it.

A medical romance full of suspense? I'm in. Spicy, full of banter, and in a hospital setting. Loved every second.

I am really loving medical romance novels, and this was was so good! I liked both Ethan and Tiffany as main characters. I also love that the author offers both a sweet or spicy version of her novels, that is such a creative way to make sure every type of reader can enjoy her books!

Wow when this story picks up it just takes you on a wild ride until the very end. This isn't just a romance story -- which I didn't know going into it -- it's also a coming of age story, a crime/mystery story, a relational story about the people who leave a mark on us positively and negatively.

Now, about the romance, I did like both main characters and their love dynamic. They were good for each other and met each other at the right time in their respective journeys.

It's no groundbreaking writing but the story was very engaging and layered and kept me interested and emotionally involved throughout. A fun and stressful time.

In this workplace romantic suspense, Tiffany is a radiologist who has overcome her difficult past to become a successful doctor. Ethan starts out as her workplace nemesis, but they quickly become friends, and then more than friends. But when Tiffany’s past comes back to haunt her, they have to fight for their lives and their new love. This was fun and suspenseful, and I would definitely read more by this author. I did find the epilogue a little convenient, but it didn’t keep me from enjoying the book!

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book! ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
