Doctor romance is a new one for me, and I really liked it! I am not a Grey’s Anatomy girl, so I was a little worried about the hospital setting but it was kind of perfect. It allowed Tiffany to be in her element and allowed Ethan to shine. It also is so cool that the author is a doctor! It makes me trust the medical stuff in this book a lot more.

This was a fun, quick read that had me hooked! I finished this whole book in just over a day. The story is fast paced and definitely kept my attention.

The format switched between present day in Ohio and Tiffany’s past growing up in Vegas. I think it was done very well, as I couldn’t foresee what was coming next and would eventually lead up to Tiffany’s decision to escape her past.

Ethan was cute, and this story is a bit of insta-love, especially on his part. I wish we had 2 or 3 chapters from his perspective, just to add to the overall story!

The only thing I was not a huge fan of was the ending. It all fell into place a little too neatly, and was just not believable to me. I just don’t understand how Ethan shows up out of nowhere? And I’m not sure if the ambiguous ending is leading to another story or is just meant to be open ended. I wanted some additional answers!

The spicy scenes at times were written just a bit too awkwardly for me as well. And Tiffany was just plain naive at times. I like that she is this strong, confident doctor, but at other times she just doubted herself and kept invalidating her own experiences.

I want to thank NetGalley and Victory Editing for providing me with this ARC.

To quote Jane from Pride and Prejudice 2008: Yes. A thousand times. Yes! This is definitely my top read since starting my journey reading with @netgalley. I was left wondering what was coming. Expecting things to happen but also got thrown unexpected outcomes. Tiffany is described as an ice queen. She feels that keeping everyone at an arms length is for the best. For those around her and herself. When a new radiology resident shows up, she is forced to train him. Ethan is extremely handsome and likable. The golden retriever clinging to Tiffany’s side. Thrown together some many time, can Ethan thaw the ice around Tiffany. Or will the demons surrounding Tiffany keep her in the past. Be on the look out for Paging Dr. Hart coming June 17th! Thank you so much @melissadymondauthor and @netgalley for the advanced reader copy.

Tiffany Hart, dubbed the ice queen by her colleagues, is thrown for a loop when she has to train the golden retriever new doctor, Ethan Clark. When they are sent to train at the new hospital, AND forced to live together, Ethan slowly chips away at her cold exterior, learning there’s more to her than meets the eye. Tiffany has a troubled past and refuses to let anyone in, will Ethan be the one to melt her heart?

This book has everything you need: laughs, mystery, spice and most importantly - love! I loved the back story and the dynamic between the main characters.

Ps. I LOVED the art hidden within random pages in the book!

This book was the perfect balance of romance and suspense and I already want its sequel (it doesn’t end in complete cliffhanger but I want to know more)! There was a perfect balance of present day and excerpts from the past and I loved how one side of Tiffany was presented and then you got to see that piece of her past that explained more. The meet cute (which wasn’t actually cute) with Ethan was really well done. Both characters had incredible depth and authenticity and there was a nice amount of backstory without it becoming overwhelming. The suspense and mystery was also very well executed where it kept the story moving but I didn’t expect all the twists that came. I don’t often ready mysteries because I hate being scared, but this wasn’t creepy or graphic. I love how this author is actually a doctor and how she incorporates that part of her life into the characters. I love that there is a sweet (clean) or spicy version of the book so I can recommend it to people who don’t want spice in their books. Overall, this book was a joy to read and I devoured it in less than a day. Go read it now! 5⭐️, 2🌶

I loved this book!

💎 Reverse grumpy/sunshine
👑 He falls first
💎 Forced proximity
👑 One bed
💎 Workplace romance
👑 She has a hidden past

“You’re no Ice Queen, you’re pure fire”

Tiffany has been betrayed or left by everyone in her past. She’s constructed a safe life now, a life that revolves around work and Fred the cat. She doesn’t get close to anyone. No friends and no boyfriends! Her nickname at work is Ice Queen and that’s fine by her. Better to be lonely than hurt.

Tiffany is stuck training the new guy, Ethan. She’s gonna do a good job, because that’s who Tiffany is, but she doesn’t have to be nice to him. He’s a sweet, annoying, golden retriever of a man. He not only learns Tiffany’s favorite coffee order, he defends her when her coworkers call her Ice Queen, he gives her a new nick name, Tiffy, and he snuggles her when she has nightmares 🥹 oh my heart.

The forced proximity is amazing and doesn’t feel like it happens too fast. Things develop over time and although this is a slow burn I wasn’t bored in the story at all.

The illustrations throughout the book, giving little glimpses of what Tiffany looks like, or of a certain scene were so perfect! Although I’d love to have some fan art of the kiss in front of Cinderellas Castle 🏰

The little addition of Melanie watching a Caleb Lawson movie!? Too cute to get a little reference to The Holiday Star!

And now it’s time for me to beg for a love story for Stewart because he’s so sweet and didn’t deserve any of what was done to him…. Also, can’t wait to read the prequel of Tiffany’s parents because that’s gonna have me on the edge of my seat the whole way through

Ice Queen. That’s Dr. Tiffany Hart’s nickname in the hospital, but when she meets red-hot new hire Dr. Ethan Clark she loses her cool. He’s arrogant, annoying, and stupidly handsome.

That’s okay. Frozen from a past filled with danger and betrayal, Tiffany is immune to charming men, even if they remember her favorite coffee and let her pick what to watch on TV.

Dr. Ethan Clark comes from a long line of famous doctors. Wanting to escape his legacy and forge his own path, he’s happy to transfer to Tiffany’s hospital. Especially when he lays eyes on the fiery redhead doctor assigned to train him.

Sure, she looks like she wants to punch him most of the time, but he can’t ignore the sparks between them so he vows to thaw her icy heart.

When Ethan and Tiffany are sent back to his home hospital and then to a medical conference at Disney World, they’re forced to share close quarters. And when Tiffany’s past finally catches up to them, they have to fight for their lives.

Can this prescription for disaster turn into happily ever after?






Como la sinopsis dice Tiffany es una doctora con especialidad en radiología, todos en el hospital la conocen como la reina de hielo porque es muy estoica, no socializa con sus compañeros, no tiene amigos y sólo está centrada en su trabajo. Para ella esa era una buena vida, después de todo lo que paso en su adolescencia lo único que quiere es tranquilidad y lo tiene hasta que llega un nuevo colega, Ethan, quien le hará que vuelva a latir su corazón y que tenga que enfrentarse a sus viejos fantasmas.

Me gusto la historia, pero siento que le falta algo en los capítulos del presente.

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

4 ⭐️ 3 🌶️ for Paging Dr. Hart by Dr. Melissa Dymond

Tiffany likes to keep to herself everyone she cares for just ends up leaving anyways but when Ethan a transfer to her hospital comes she cant seem to escape him. As feelings start to develop, Tiffany's past reappears. Will her and Ethan's new relationship be able to withstand her dark past?

This was a fun read, Ethan's golden retriever vibe helps soothe Tiffany's ice Queen persona and allows her to come out of her shell. The twist of her past coming out was well done. it kept you guessing what was really going to happen.
a definite read if you enjoy romance novels with some suspense.

I was immediately captivated by this ARC from NetGalley and Victory Editing. The story follows Dr. Tiffany Hart, a radiology resident with a complex past, who struggles to let others in. When she partners with the new resident, Dr. Ethan Clarke, we see their relationship unfold amidst Taylor Swift song references and dual timelines. Tiffany's character is beautifully flawed yet endearing, with a kind heart, while Ethan may come off as presumptuous at times. Despite my deep investment in the story, the unresolved mysteries and unanswered questions by the end left me slightly unsatisfied, craving more depth and closure.

I adored Paging Dr. Hart. It's just as it says it is, a medical romance with suspense.
Tiffany Hart is a promising radiology resident. She is angry when she is introduced to a first year resident who she felt undermind her presentation, Ethan. Ethan is gorgeous and charming. Slowly, Tiffany's past is revealed and she starts to wonder - can she get past her hang ups and fall in love with Ethan? Can he fall in love with her in spite of her past?

I work at a hospital and I absolutely loved the fact that this was written by a doctor. The book was accurate medically and you could tell a highly intelligent person wrote it. I loved reading that intertwined with the romance, spice, and humor. As Tiffany's past is slowly revealed, the reader finds themselves rooting for her.

Very good book. Definitely will be checking out more by this author.

Outwardly, Paging Dr. Hart is a fun romance between two radiology residents with some forced proximity and a cinnamon roll MC. However, Dr. Tiffany Hart is much more complicated than her ice-cold demeanor leads on —told through a single POV and dual timeline the plot swaps between Dr. Tiffany Hart’s childhood and the present day. This quick read kept me entertained and hooked enough to stay up late to finish.

When Dr.Ethan Clark becomes the newest resident in her program, Tiffany is forced to bring him to speed. However, she finds his handsome face challenging impeding her goal of impressing her residency director. I always get nervous reading books about physicians but Melissa Dymond, a physician herself captured hospital life quite well. You do not need to be in medicine to follow along with this story, and I didn’t notice any particularly confusing medical jargon.

Dymond shapes Tiffany wonderfully and with great detail. Through the events of Tiffany's childhood, all her idiosyncrasies are clear, and the reader gets a clear insight into who Tiffany is. I loved the contrast to Ethan and learning their different paths to medicine. This authenticity and helped make both of these characters come to life. Their conversations are playful, and their chemistry is palpable. I read the open-door version, but there is a modified closed-door one as well.

The ending caught me off guard with a convoluted plot climax I did not see coming, and it felt rushed once things came together. I don’t want to spoil things, but the events seemed over the top, and I had trouble buying the storyline. The author describes this book as romance with suspense, which is accurate. If you liked the combination in the Knockemout series by Lucy Score, you would probably enjoy this novel as well.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it (especially to all those dreaming of workplace romance).

I went into this book thinking it would be a charming rom-com, and it far surpassed any of my expectations! The underlying tone of mystery and suspense that ran throughout the story gave it a delightful twist, and I especially enjoyed the alternating past/present POV’s that gave helped bind the story together and showed just how much Tiffany had changed over the years, and it felt as though I was growing up and feeling as she did. Ethan represented the very best of MMC’s, supporting Tiffany and being her rock, despite the ups and downs that come with their relationship.

Some tropes I thought were done really well were: reverse grumpy/ sunshine, close proximity, he fell first, and a delightful slow-burn romance.

I also really appreciate that the author chose to write two alternating books, one that was ‘spicy’ (open door romance) and one that was ‘sweet’ (closed door romance) so that everyone could feel included in reading this amazing book.
I can say for certain that I will be reading more of this series in the future!

A huge thank you to Netgalley and Melissa Dymond for an ARC in return for my honest review, which can be found on Goodreads 💕

This book was so cute one of my favorites from Melissa Dymond. I am not usually a big fan of flashbacks but I love the way that these were written. I love the way they span over multiple chapters in a row. It sounds weird but I usually have an issue because I want to know that is happening in one timeline over the other. I didn’t feel that way with this book I could not stop reading. The illustrations were the best touch. Love love love!!!

Different and tough to put down!
~~~~~~~~
Sometimes you run across a book that surprises you. I honestly wasn’t expecting too much, just another romance in a different setting.

But this author surprised me with her storytelling through alternating chapters of today and the past which culminate at the end for an exciting suspense-filled love story.

Dymond has created two amazing characters that just jump off the page. Not only from the physical descriptions but also their personalities. You can almost feel their very being through the images that she paints with her words.

The author gives us their vulnerability, their fears, their mistakes, and their regrets. But she also shares their tenacity and strength, as well as their love and kindness. Hot and spicy with some suspense too! This book truly has so much going for it.

I’ve never heard of this author before as she is a pretty new author. But I’m certainly going to continue to read her stories.

Paging Dr. Hart kept calling me back to keep on reading. I read late into the night and did not want to stop! That surely is a sign of a wonderful storyteller. I can’t wait to read more from her.

Thank you to netgalley and Dr Melissa Dymond for providing me with the ARC

I enjoyed this medical romantic suspense book. Tiffany overcame all the odds to get to where she is in her life. I loved the chapters that gave us the view into her past and seeing it from that view. Ethan is the quintessential golden retriever MMC and was the sunshine to her grumpy. Despite that he had some depth to his character as well.

The author blended the past timeline brilliantly with Tiffany’s current life and each view into her past left me wanting more. I was disappointed not to have the chapter closed on who Tiffany’s father was.

Overall of you enjoy some mystery with your romance definitely give this book a chance

------------------------------------------------Book Review ---------------------------------------------

📎 I would like to thank the author to give me an opportunity to be an arc reader for the book. Thank you @melissadymondauthor , @victoryeditingngc and @netgalley

📎. The book has got everything you want for a cozy read ; slow burn , one bed , enemies to lovers , grumpy X sunshine (reverse), suspense ,dual timeline, dark past, EVERYTHING!!! ALSO, there are hidden Taylor Swift song hints !! Had so much fun finding those .

📎Fav quote : The decisions of your family that were made for you , decisions that you had no control over, can be a burden . It can force you into a mold that might not fit.

📎The story starts as Dr. Tiffany starts to give a presentation , she's thinking about the resident of the month award , when a young man from the audience corrects about something related to her presentation , there goes her award in vain... Anyways the story moves forward and Dr. Ethan starts to work in the same hospital as her (he falls first and harder). They slowly get to know each other , develop feelings for each other but they don't disclose it to each other . Both of them have something from their pasts , regrets , mistakes , dark things . Ethan discloses his past regrets, to her but she doesn't.

📎Is it because she doesn't trust him ? Or is she afraid that she will be left alone again? Is it because she can't forgive herself for whatever she did ? Will he accept her the way she is ? Will they fight to be together in the end? Will they love each other even after so much of hurt ?

Hope you love the book , cuz I did too ! Happy reading 🤎

Lovely romantic comedy, fire chemistry better main characters. Devoured the book in 2 days due to working a busy schedule in the medical field like Dr. Tiffany Hart.

Was this review helpful?

Dr. Melissa Dymond's Paging Dr. Hart is a whirlwind of romance, suspense, and medical drama. The story centers around the clashing personalities of Dr. Tiffany Hart, the 'Ice Queen,' and Dr. Ethan Clark, a charming and ambitious newcomer. Dymond expertly sets the stage for a fiery romance. Tiffany, emotionally guarded after a traumatic past, is initially resistant to Ethan's persistent charm. His unwavering determination to thaw her icy exterior creates a delightful tension that keeps the reader hooked. Their banter is sharp and witty, and their interactions are full of sizzling chemistry. The plot is fast-paced and unpredictable. The story seamlessly blends the complexities of the medical world with thrilling suspense, culminating in a heart-stopping climax that forces Tiffany and Ethan to confront their pasts and fight for their lives. While the romance is undoubtedly the heart of the story, Dymond also delves into the challenges and triumphs of the medical profession. The portrayal of the hospital setting feels authentic, and the portrayal of the characters' dedication to their patients adds an emotional depth to the narrative. Overall, this book is a fun and engaging read. The story's strong romance, compelling suspense, and well-developed characters make it a worthwhile read for fans of medical romance and thriller novels.
