|Thoughts|
Just throughly enjoyed this romance and how it explores the past and present colliding. Plus, it’s rounded off with the best of loveable golden retriever boyfriends (bonus cute nickname).

“Has it ox red to you that maybe, just maybe, I hoped you would call me? Maybe you aren’t the only one who’s scared”

Interesting look at the politics and drama that surrounds the medical field. Utterly shocked by a certain characters decision regarding Tiffany. No wonder she has turned into such an independent and alouf individual.

“I love her, and I hate her”

Something about this story spoke to me and I just couldn’t put it down.

“I like you all way, happy and sad. I like all the Tiffany’s past, present, and future. I’ll take them all”

From start to finish, I was hooked! Paging Dr. Hart is told in past and present timelines from the FMC’s POV. What can you expect from this book? A slow burn romance between two radiologists, a suspenseful past, a golden retriever MMC who can round house kick someone in the head, one bed, and some Disney fun!

Plot: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Quantity of spice: 🌶️.5

**Please note I read the open door version of this book.**

Our FMC Tiffany is a loner by choice. She had a very rough childhood where she lost her mother to cancer and her best friend betrayed her. As an adult, she’s pushed everyone away because she’s too afraid of losing anyone else.

Ethan, our MMC, is in his second year residency for internal medicine but really wants to specialize in radiology. On the day of his interview, Tiffany is presenting on a cancer case and messes up the cancer staging. Ethan points it out in a room full of her colleagues, so naturally she is embarrassed and does not like Ethan. Only, she gets back to her desk and her boss tells her she has to interview someone for the open spot.. the interviewee? Ethan.

While the budding romance between Ethan and Tiffany is playing out in current time, we are receiving past timeline chapters from Tiffany’s childhood while she lived in Las Vegas. During this time, she did not live in a good neighborhood and had to do some questionable things to survive and pay for her mother’s medical bills. The past story slowly reveals Tiffany’s secrets, which she is afraid to reveal to Ethan in the present.

With the two different timelines, I did feel like I was reading separate stories a lot of the time. Past Tiffany and Present Tiffany felt like two different people. I honestly had to take a step back and even look at it from my own perspective because I too am a completely different person from who I was at 18. With that said, I do understand and appreciate the differences, as well as the need for the backstory!

This is a spoiler free review, so I will not say what happened in the end but I will say that I’m dying for the future books because I NEED TO KNOW!! 🤐

I really enjoyed reading this book.

A story of a girl with a wounded heart and fear of trusting. A simple romance, right? Wrong! Romance, suspense, betrayal.
The past comes back to haunt Tiffany's present.
I loved how Ethan loves Tiffany beyond measure, even in pain, but he defends her and ensures her safety.
I can't wait to read the next books in this story.
**For those who don't like spicy, the author made a sweet closed-door version**

Thanks to Netgalley and the author for the opportunity to review the ARC.

A sweet and surprisingly deep medical romance with forced proximity, he falls first, reverse grumpy + sunshine, and golden retriever MMC.

Pros:
- The meet-cute!! I love it! Golden retriever MMC was perfection in that moment and so was the grumpy FMC.
- MMC's brother is *chef's kiss.* I NEED spinoffs from this! I need Stewart and Curtis to get their own stories.
- Seeing the FMC and MMC enjoy Disney World for the first time together was so cute! I wanted to be there with them!
- The way the FMC and MMC fall in love is absolutely beautiful. It's slow
- Believable and authentic FMC. She has an incredible backstory and what feels like an authentic adult reaction to the life she has lived.
- I like how the FMC didn't just change her stance on relationships overnight. Her new friend and the MMC were persistent enough and loved her through the walls - they didn't just get knocked down all at once.
- "Good girl"
- Spicy scenes were hitting all the right notes!

Opportunities:
- There were a few continuity issues throughout - For example, in one scene, the FMC has just entered the room when she hears knocking on the door and seconds later she almost rises from the couch to answer the door. Small moments that just kind of kicked you out of the story for a moment.
- The story ends up being so beautiful, but in the beginning, the characters are a little stiff and the wording is awkward in places.
- There is kind of a cliffhanger moment at the end that is interesting but not enough so that I would read a second book. Would have been nice to see how that plays out though.

Overall - I really suggest this book for fans of the tropes listed above. It's worth pushing through the first awkwardness because the intrigue and the romance are such a good payoff.

What a ride! Read this in one day!! Grey’s Anatomy meets romantic suspense, and I am here for it.

Dr. Tiffany Hart has finally made the most of her life. A third year resident in radiology, who prioritizes her job over everything else. Nicknamed “ice queen” by her coworkers, she has ensured not to get too close to anyone because they will eventually break her trust and leave, like she experienced in her troubled past. Until…

Enter the new radiologist resident, Dr. Ethan Clark. Good looking, privileged, and cocky, Tiffany immediately dislikes him. That charm?? Doesn’t work on her. Those muscles?? No thanks. And when he comes to her defense and continues to show up for her? Nope nope nope.

I adore a ‘hate to love’ romance where he is obviously obsessed with her from the get go 🤣 poor Tiffany just took a little longer than the rest of us to see it. Obviously our girl has her reasons, and I really liked how Tiffany’s backstory was told through each year of her younger/teenage years. It really built the suspense of the overall story.

Great romance and can’t wait to read more in these interconnected stand alone books!

Thanks to the author and NetGalley for the eArc in exchange for an honest review!

*spoiler alert** I was not expecting to be so in shock and feeling so many emotions!! I thought this was a simple romance book but nope!!

At first I was not vibing with Tiffany but the more I read, the more I felt for her and understood why she was the way she was. The parallel of her love of Cinderella and her life is one that connects at the end with Ethan. I want to know more and can’t wait for this series to continue…I’m thinking the a certain casino owner is her dad?

Also, Shelly is a two-faced woman and really like her mom of using people.

First of all, I absolutely loved that the main characters were radiologists. That profession is always erased from most medical shows, and it was refreshing to read about it. My husband is a radiologist. I asked him about some medical procedures that were described in the book, and he said it was accurate!

This book veered more towards romantic suspense than rom com, which I don’t always like, but it really worked for me in this book. I enjoyed reading the past timeline and trying to figure out how everything was going to play out in the present. The romance was sweet, and I liked how it ended. Also that little snippet of things to come was a fun surprise.

This book was extremely hard to put down! I absolutely loved reading Paging Dr. Hart. Dr.
Melissa Dymond's way of writing from Dr. Hart's POV made you feel like you really were Dr. Hart, feeling the things she feels and experiences. 5/5 stars ✨ If you love mysteries about the main character, building lives from the ground up, romance stories, happily ever afters and action, this is the book for you! Also subscribing to get the extra chapters is SO SO worth it. Amazing writing!

Thank you to NetGalley and Victory Editing for this ARC! All opinions are my own.

Paging Dr. Hart was a fun fast-paced read - probably actually more fun, if you aren't in medicine, like me. I picked this book up because of that medical component though, and was pleasantly surprised by this steamy romance (even if the idea of viewing my co-residents like that makes me a little uncomfy internally.) Although it is titled romance with suspense, I would say that this book leans much more heavily into the romance, building up our heroine's mysterious past in Vegas with interspersed scenes from her childhood, and her current romance with hot, nepotism-baby male doctor. Dr. Hart is pegged as this "ice queen" persona - which I sorta get, and also sorta was like, I'm a little tired of hearing about this since I feel it leans into the stereotypes and makes the writing of her current personality a little lazier, but ultimately felt like the author wasn't beating our head with it - the way romance books sometimes like to use tropes. Where the book truly shined was in its flashback scenes. Now, flashback scenes always make me anxious - they remind me of a psychological thrillers and this book achieved with that. You get the heightened intensity of the flashback and on top of that, the author did a great job at fleshing out a full background that made her character make sense (even if we don't get to see all the details of that in the present day, bc girly too busy ogling hot doc.) She's paced it well, such that when we get characters introduced in the past timeline, they arrive at the perfect time, coupled with the perfect sectioners. All in all, this is a perfect book for anyone who's loved romance with a dash of suspense in the past (some of Nora Roberts books come to mind) with a healthy dose of realistic medical living. I definitely LOLed at the paracentesis bit. I'm not sure how our author's medical descriptions translated to the layperson, but I appreciated the time she took to explain it all out!

Such a FUN and cute read!! But there were also many times I was feeling SUSPENSE! The way it went back to her present life to her past life… I couldn’t stop reading. I just wanted to keep learning MORE about her past! And the way Ethan just came in and swept Tiffy off her feet 🥹 Such an easy read too. Tiffany’s whole story was amazing and I can’t wait to see if there is a sequel to Tiffany and Ethan 🩷

This was an unusual read for me. I usually read either thrillers or suspense but not in the same book. I enjoyed reading this book and will read more from this author. I appreciate that the author has a clean version and a spicy version of the same book.
I received an advance review copy but my opinions are honest and my own.

I really really loved this book. It was the first title I’ve read from Dr. Melissa Dymond and I enjoyed her writing so much! This was such an easy book to read and I was hooked from the first few chapters and finished it in one sitting. Reading the chapters from her past that really shaped her future were heart breaking but also showed exactly why the FMC acted the way that she did. She is such a strong and incredible female main character who worked so hard to get to where she is. And I loved Ethan so much, he comes from a privileged background but is trying to break free from his family legacy and make his own path. His personality was so fun and the banter between the two of them was so good! A slow burn but still so so sexy! The ending was amazing! I can’t wait until the other books in the series. I’ll definitely be continuing on this journey!

***BOOK REVIEW***
Paging Dr. Hart by Dr. Melissa Dymond - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

WHAT AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER! I laughed, I gasped, I cried, and every emotion you could possibly feel while reading a book. Spice rating 🌶️🌶️🌶️.

Dr. Tiffany Hart is an introspective, observant, compassionate, and intelligent girl who grew up in the not so pretty areas of Las Vegas, Nevada. When life deals Tiffany and her mom a losing hand, Tiffany resorts to do things she isn't proud of. After copious amounts of heartbreak, Tiffany decides to buckle down, study hard to become a doctor, get herself out of Las Vegas, and most importantly, never let anyone into her life anymore. And then saunters in...Dr. Ethan Clark.

Dr. Ethan Clark, the guy you've always dreamed of dating. Tall, handsome, muscular, energetic, loyal, protective, kind, emotionally intelligent and a doctor! Being born to a family of doctors, Ethan wants to set himself apart from his family legacy. He wants something that's just his - and that, is Tiffany.

The grumpy FMC (female main character) and the sunshiney golden retriever energy MMC (male main character) come to fall in love while being in close proximity and gaining each other's trust by telling each other about their pasts. Until Tiffany's past comes back to bite her.

I entirely enjoyed the he fell first and she fell harder trope of this story. The amount of times where I squealed when Tiffany and Ethan were bantering are innumerable. Another book boyfriend added to my list for sure!!

Tiffany's backstory was just so exhilarating I could not put this story down. I was so entirely engrossed, I just kept reading faster wanting to know what was next. It's so hard not to see yourself in her - she will do anything to keep her family afloat.

Thank you so so much to Dr. Melissa Dymond @melissadymondauthor and NetGalley @netgalley for allowing me to read the ARC before publication. Anything you publish I will willingly read.

Paging Dr Hart by Dr Melissa Dymond
5⭐️

Paging Dr Hart is a romantic suspense that follows Tiffany, a third-year radiology resident, as she trains the hot new resident Ethan. Told through switching past and present timelines, you uncover the events in Tiffany’s adolescence that have shaped her into the woman she's become, while simultaneously witnessing her assessing the walls she has built up and whether she wants to continue her isolated lifestyle.

This story was a fantastic mix of thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat and a sweet romance built on the foundation of friendship. After their initial meeting goes awry, Tiffany has to learn to get along with her new colleague and trainee, especially when they’re sent away together where they’re living in close quarters. The banter between the two is immaculate and the build-up of sexual tension throughout the story is wonderfully written. The hints you get along the way about the traumas of her past and how they have made her wary of relationships of all types, romantic or otherwise, are fleshed out in the chapters set in the past and really make her such a well thought out and interesting character. It felt like getting two books in one, both of which had me hooked!

There are also pieces of art scattered throughout the book depicting characters and scenes, that help the reader visualise what is happening. Plus the book is split into sections that break up the story further and hint what you might expect from that section - Doctor, Teacher, etc. And as a bonus, this book has both open and closed door versions to accomodate any reader and I love that! I read the spicy version but it’s awesome that there’s different versions available to suit your preferred spice level ☺️

I highly recommend this book! 🩵

The cover first grabbed me, and the compelling romcom/mystery kept me madly turning the pages. Anyone who loves medical romances with fully developed characters will adore this quick, satisfying read!

Paging Dr. Hart 🩺❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Genre: Romance
Author: Dr. Melissa Dymond

“Turns out I like being a doctor. It’s nice, knowing I can make a difference, that I make someone’s life better. Maybe it’s weird, but I feel most at home in the hospital.”

Dr. Tiffany Hart, radiology resident, is tasked with interviewing a potential new resident, Dr. Ethan Clark. Tiffany and Ethan are then forced to share an apartment and work together to start a residency program in Cleveland. In the apartment, they both get little sleep due to the nightmares that haunt Tiffany. The nightmares worsen as she gets text messages from an unknown sender about her secret past.

I LOVED this book!!!! It was the perfect combination of a love story (present timeline) and suspense/thriller (past timeline). It is rare that I’m hooked on a book from the beginning, but after the first few chapters, I couldn’t put it down. It has enemies to lovers, slow burn, suspense, and forced proximity.

Coming from a medical family, I don’t usually enjoy medical-based fiction books. I usually find that the terminology, procedures, and hospital dynamics are unrealistic. However, Dr. Melissa Dymond is experienced in this field, and it shows in her writing. You can also tell that Dymond is a big Disney fan. I loved that she used Disney World as one of the settings. As someone who goes to Disney often, I could easily picture the characters in each place she described which made those chapters so fun!

The growth of Tiffany from high school to becoming a doctor to the end of the book was amazing! I always enjoy a strong female character who escapes a tough past and becomes successful on her own. The MMC is the ultimate book boyfriend. His kindness and genuine personality was the perfect match for guarded Tiffany. Mr. Chen was the real MVP in this book though. He has a small part but what an amazing person!!!

Thank you to @netgalley and Victory Editing for sending me an ARC and allowing me the opportunity to read and review this book.

This was such a fun read! This romance thriller kept me fully captivated from start to finish.

My favorite thing about this book was the dual story lines in the past and present. Readers learn about Dr. Tiffany Hart as an adult, a self-made doctor and resident in the cardiology department who is making strides in her career. Her life becomes complicated when she meets the cardiology department's newest resident, Ethan.

The second story line follows Tiffany as a youth living in Las Vegas. Her upbringing is rough, but she has her best friend, Shelley, to lean on. After Tiffany's mom gets sick and can no longer work, Shelley convinces Tiffany to pose as showgirls for photo opportunities on the Las Vegas Strip. Eventually, Tiffany finds herself pressured to help commit a robbery with a promise of an equal cut of the profits.

Eventually, Tiffany's past catches up to her, and the two storylines collide.

Some tropes in this book are forced proximity, grumpy x sunshine, enemies to lovers, dark secrets, and found family. These tropes are all integrated into this story perfectly.

Last thing to mention is this book is offered in two versions, spicy/open door and the sweet version/closed door spice. I read the sweet version, but am very much looking forward to read the spicy version soon!

If you like Grey’s Anatomy (or any other medical drama shows) you should read this book. Paging Dr Hart kept me engaged the entire time and I flew through this one.

Tiffany is a radiology resident who has to show around the new guy, Ethan, who also made her feel dumb onstage during a lecture she was giving. Their story quickly turns into a workplace, forced proximity, and (sort of) enemies to lovers' romance. All the while you’re discovering the story of Tiffany’s past that is quickly catching up to her.

I loved that there was actually depth to these characters and the story felt real instead of just underdeveloped romantic fluff. I was hooked from the beginning and I’m very excited to see what other books come out of this little universe.

Such a cute she falls first novel ....tiffy is so lovey-dovey , tough and Ethan is so considerate of her needs ,,,,,and dont get me started on the tai chai movesss....GOSHHHH..... so fudging athletic !!... can I borrow him ....just eye-candy i promise!!! NOOTTTT!!!! ...
Dark past !!! Monsters??...love how it alternates bwtween present tiffy and past tiffy....childhood desire to study medicine is soooo cool !!

Paging Dr. Hart was a great read.
Tiffany Hart is a resident doctor wanting to be a radiologist. She had a rough time growing up and worked hard to get where she is. Ethan Clark is a transfer resident and she feels he's just another cocky male doctor. The more time they spend together, the more he breaks down her walls.
