"You're no ice queen, you're pure fire"
❤🔥🥺
Rating- 4.5/5
First of all let me say this
I'm a Huge fan of medical dramas(grey's anatomy, Doctors, Hospital playlist, hospital ship, romantic doctor etc. you name it ,I have watched it) and so as soon as I saw the cover I was like I need to read this book!!
And let me tell you, this book didn't disappoint!!!!
The story was very different from what I was anticipating but I was hooked.
It started as enemies to lovers but when mystery subplot came into action I couldn't stop reading it(I pulled an all nighter)
It is Way deeper than your typical romance and a total page turner.
This book is so well written, the range of emotions written by Dr. Dymond and the characters development is incredible.
Tiffany is a survivor, I was so anxious reading about her past and things she went through (loosing so many people at once) and still making a name for herself after all that. INCREDIBLE. she deserved someone who can put her first and she found that in Ethan. Ethan was so different from the stereotype of the fictional boyfriend(and I loved that), But still the most compassionate and Heartwarming character.The things he says(I folded),the way he cares for her(does these small small things that other people would never notice but He DID and made her come out of that Shell. Made her feel safe and loved😭🫶🏻)
I LOVE THEM SO MUCH❤
Also there are two versions of this book Available(OPEN AND CLOSED DOOR BOTH) how amazing is that??
This book is the perfect SLOWBURN with banter, a lot of suspense and mystery.
It is going to keep you on your toes until you finish the book, probably even after finishing the book(because what was that bomb drop at last?😭 about Tiffany's father??)
I want the sequel right now🥹
Special thanks to @netgalley and @melissadymondauthor for the ARC
Title: Paging Dr. Hart- a medical romance with suspense by Dr. Melissa Dymond
Release Date: June, 17th, 2024
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Stars
"Paging Dr. Hart" by Dr. Melissa Dymond is a gripping medical romance filled with suspense. Dr. Sophie Hart, the protagonist, finds herself in the midst of a high-stakes medical mystery while navigating the complexities of love and professional life.
Dr. Tiffany Hart, known as the "Ice Queen" in the hospital due to her guarded demeanour, meets Dr. Ethan Clark, a charming and handsome new colleague. Despite her resistance to his charms, Tiffany finds herself drawn to Ethan's warmth. Ethan, seeking to break free from his family's medical legacy, is intrigued by Tiffany's fiery personality. As they navigate their professional relationship and shared experiences, sparks fly between them. However, when Tiffany's past resurfaces, they must confront danger together, leading to a fight for their lives.
As the plot unfolds, Dr. Hart's determination to solve the medical puzzle keeps readers on the edge of their seats, while her budding romance adds an extra layer of intrigue. The slow burn romance eventually ignites into a passionate and compelling narrative, drawing me in completely. The plot is well-crafted, with short, fast-paced chapters that make for an easy and engaging read. The character development, particularly of protagonist Dr. Tiffany Hart, is remarkable, and her backstory adds depth and intrigue to the story. Tiffany's journey of facing her past is both gripping and empowering, making her a character worth rooting for.
As a first-time reader of this author, I was thoroughly impressed and eager to explore more of her work.
Dr. Dymond's background in medicine shines through in the authenticity of the medical scenes, adding depth and realism to the story, which I loved!
This book is a must-read for fans of romance with a touch of mystery.
Thank you to The Publisher ARC provided by Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op , The Author Dr. Melissa Dymond & NetGalley for an advanced reader copy (ARC) in exchange for my honest review.
This was such a light and fun read! (I say light and fun with the slight suspense subplot added in). If you love something a bit more to your romances, this is definitely going to be up your alley. It was just what I needed, right place and right time, to pick me up out of my reading slump.
Thank you to NetGalley, and Dr. Melissa Dymond for early access to this book in exchange for an honest review.
I was so excited to read this book! Especially since I have been following Dr. Melissa Dymond on bookstagram since she wrote Holiday Star. There are two versions of the suspenseful and romance book Paging Dr. Hart: closed door and open door, or spicy and sweet. Of course I chose to review the spicy version!
Tiffany and Ethan connect while interning in radiology. Together, they build their relationship and create an exchange program for residents. If you love forced proximity, rivals to lovers, and suspense in romance, this book is for you!
A heartwarming tale of love, passion, and a love letter to radiology with witty and charming characters. Absolutely enjoyed this one! Recommended for people who are looking for a good read to curl up with!
a thrilling blend of romance and suspense set against the compelling backdrop of a hospital. The book weaves together the high stakes of medical drama with the personal lives of its characters, creating a rich and engaging story. The author does an excellent job of portraying the realities of life in a medical setting, which adds authenticity and depth to the narrative. The main character. is both a competent physician and a complex individual facing emotional dilemmas, making her a relatable and compelling character. Her journey through the intricacies of hospital politics, romantic entanglements, and life-threatening situations kept me hooked from start to finish.
I really loved this book. If you love workplace romance you will love this book. The romance was really cute and I loved the writing.
3.5!
Thank you so much netgalley and Dr Melissa Dymond for this ARC.
I genuinely really liked this book, the romance was very cute and I loved both the main characters. I loved Ethan and how obviously he liked Tiffany even though she didn't realise, and all the little things he would do for her. I also really enjoyed the medical aspect of it, there isn't too much jargon but as someone who is studying echocardiography I thought it was cool hearing about the medical imaging.
The only reason that this was 3.5 instead of 4 for me is because the past chapters felt a little too long and took me out of the story a bit, I felt like as I was really in the present chapters it would switch to a past chapter however that did make me want to keep reading to get back to the present. I thought the whole suspense things was really cool and written well and I would definitely still recommend this book to others.
Everyone needs to get their hands on this book! It is so well written! The story flows with ease between the present and the past. You get a sense of who Tiffany is when the past is visited and why it affects her present so much. It has some spicy scenes, but also some mystery--a past that comes back to haunt her. I absolutely could not put this book down once I started!
(I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you Netgalley and Dr. Melissa Dymond.)
If you enjoy an co-worker to lovers relationship then this is for you! When Tiffany and Ethan begin working together, Tiffany isn't really taken by him, however after spending time together and letting her guard down a bit they start to become closer. I love their relationship, Ethan doesn't care about Tiffany's past and I love that! I really enjoyed how the story let us know about her past, it was sad reading what happened in her life but makes you realise why she's classed as "an ice queen". I highly recommend reading this book!
Thank you, NetGalley, Dr. Melissa Dymond, and Victory Editing for this ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.
One of my bookstagram friends posted a review of this book and it made me curious, so I had to request this book. I’m a huge fan of medical dramas like Grey’s Anatomy and The Resident and let me tell you, this book didn’t disappoint!
While the story started as an enemies-to-lovers romance, it soon became more than just that. The mystery subplot dealing with Tiffany’s past kept me up at night reading way longer than I probably should’ve, but it was worth it
I absolutely loved the slow burn and reverse grumpy-sunshine characters. Tiffany had a rough childhood and youth but fought for a better life and became a strong fmc, who had a great character development. She learned to open up instead of pushing people away and faced her past. Ethan is now officially added to my collection of book boyfriends– he was the perfect golden retriever character! He knew what he wanted and accepted Tiffany the way she was. He still had his own problems and doubts, which made him a relatable and likeable character. I really liked the small, tender moments between them when they shared a bed because of Tiffany’s nightmares or the way they kept looking at each other.
All in all, this is perfect for you, if you’re looking for a romance mixed with mystery. And there’re two versions of this book available (open and closed door), which I think is so thoughtful of Melissa. She’s also donating 10% of the proceeds of this book to lung cancer research. As someone who lost her grandmother to lung cancer, I think this is a great and important cause to support!
Tropes:
- reverse grumpy x sunshine
- forced proximity, troubled nightmares
- slow burn
- rivals to lovers
- dual timeline
- he falls first
Trigger warnings:
- death of a parent from lung cancer
- gun violence
- underage drinking
- theft
Tropes
- reverse grumpy x sunshine
- forced proximity
- medical romance
- slow burn
- rivals to lovers
- dual POV’s
- dual timelines
DR Tiffany Hart is a third year radiology resident but when she meets red-hot new hire Dr. Ethan Clark switching specialties from a different hospital she loses her cool. Through the book we see Ethan and Tiffany sent back to his home hospital and then to a medical conference at Disney World. Mixed into to all of this is a mystery subplot that will lead you guessing. Through the book we learn a lot about Tiffany's past.
The book was easy to read and kept me interested the whole entire time.
⭐️ 3.5 stars!
This is a medical romance story about overcoming your past and embracing your future.
When I read the plot twist, I got a little confused and while Melissa did execute it well, it still felt a little out of place in some chapters.
It felt almost like we got more of Tiffany’s backstory than we got a romance between her and Ethan and for this. This almost ruined the book for me because with both the cover and the synopsis of the book, it sounds more of a romance than thriller but what we got is the opposite.
Overall was an enjoyable book.
• reverse grumpy x sunshine
• forced proximity
• rivals to lovers
• dual POV’s
• dual timelines
Thank you Victory Editing NetGallery Co-op and Dr Melissa Dymond for the ARC.
Paging Dr Hart us a slow burn (almost) enemies to lovers medical romance. I truly love when a book surprises me, I thought I knew what I was getting into reading this book - but it totally surprised me!
The FMC Dr Tiffany Hart has built herself some serious walls to keep out the demons of her past, but when the golden retriever MMC enters her life - he makes it his business to start chipping away at them until they breakdown!
The romance is a slow burn, but once they have their moment - it's one for the ages!
I love the first person dual timeline in this book - seeing Tiffany's past play out alongside the current timeline is really interesting!
I love a medical drama, and having being written by a healthcare professional makes it even more realistic!
I really enjoyed this book!
Thank you to the author and NetGalley for this amazing ARC.
🔘Slow burn
🔘Medical romance
🔘Reverse grumpy sunshine
Dr. Tiffany Hart, a cautious woman haunted by her past, finds her walls unexpectedly broken down by the entrance of Dr. Ethan Clark into her life. He becomes someone she can rely on.
✨Thoughts✨
In the heart of this story, a romance gradually unfolds between Tiffany and Ethan. There is suspense laced with Tiffany's mysterious past, which adds intrigue to the narrative. Though Tiffany had built impenetrable walls around herself, somehow, I discovered a profound empathy for her inner struggle. I found myself genuinely rooting for her happiness.
On the other hand, we have our sunny MMC, Dr. Ethan Clark — he is the ideal book boyfriend. I proudly declare myself as the president of his fan club! He is completely charming. Ethan's warm and refreshing nature makes him incredibly endearing. It's refreshing to have a male character who breaks away from the cliché of being a wealthy individual with a questionable reputation. The author truly did a fantastic job in crafting these characters!
Overall, if you enjoy workplace romance set within a hospital backdrop, this book should undoubtedly be your first choice.
Thank you to the author and NetGalley for this amazing ARC.
SO CUTE! I absolutely loved this. So thankfully there was a steamy and not-so-steamy version. Personally, I had to read the steamy version. 5 stars for sure! Loved the suspense and romance together. I couldn't wait to find out the ending. Definitely a book I will have to buy a physical copy of.
Cute! Love the enemies to friends read.
I love the Las Vegas flash back references. Story line was very easy to follow. The characters were very easy to love. This a recommend to bookclub forsure.
I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this book - I could not put it down once I started it. From the plot to the characters to the writing to the dual timeline, all of it was perfectly executed. I always try to highlight both the good and less good parts in my reviews; but I seriously could not find anything I didn’t thoroughly enjoy this time.
Paging Dr. Hart is a slow burn, but it really manages to keep you on your toes the whole time. And when Tiffany and Ethan’s romance finally picks up, it gets really good really fast.
And the cherry on the cake for me? The fact that what I thought were accidental Taylor Swift song references, were intentional! I had highlighted “You’re on Your Own Kid” as soon as I saw it, so I was incredibly pleased to see the note at the end of the book.
I will definitely be recommending this book - Not to mention that 10% of all proceeds go to lung cancer research.
I received this ARC from Dr. Melissa Dymond, and I’m so grateful because this book was incredibly good.
This story is about Tiffany Hart, a radiology resident in a hospital in Ohio. She has had a very difficult life, and doesn’t really have friendships or any kind of relationships. But her life is about to change as she meets the wonderful Ethan Clark. He just transferred from a hospital in Cleveland to
start his residency in radiology. So she is assigned to help him get into the new job, and things start
getting very interesting. 😌
As we are seeing how their relationship evolves, we find out that Tiffany’s past is kind of mysterious, and it is coming back.
What to expect in this book:
-Reversed grumpy/sunshine relationship.
-Medical setting
-MMC with green flags
-Sassy FMC
-Perfect mystery vibes
-(Kind of) enemies to lovers
-Throwback scenes
-Disney scenes
I adored this book so much, it hooked me up from the first ten pages and I couldn’t put it down. The medical setting was so much fun to read, so if you like Grey’s Anatomy or Scrubs, you’ll love this book.
The throwback and present scenes have a perfect balance that kept the book very entertaining. The way of writing is so fresh, and at the same time, it felt like I had read
something by this author before and I love that feeling.
The mystery of it, differentiates the book from other romances because there is an added part of the story that gets your attention too.
I loved how both main characters have flaws but start growing up as they start getting to know each other. Ethan is so patient with Tiffany, and never pressures her to open up when she is not ready, but lets her know he isn’t going anywhere and he is there to support her. On the other
hand, we understand the way Tiffany acts because of all the hardships she has endured in her life. But we can see how, eventually, she realizes she can have a different one, full of love, friendship and happiness.
So, prepare yourself for JUNE 17th when it comes out and go buy it. (Check for Trigger Warnings)

Review below:
My thanks to NetGalley, Dr. Dymond, and Victory Editing for this ARC (publishing June 17, 2024).
This story was very different from what I was anticipating but such a lovely surprise.
Dr. Tiffany Hart shares her first person account as a dual timeline perspective unfolding on a crash course collision of past and present. Beginning with her current day work stressors and a not so meet cute, her past becomes more crystalline with each chapter to create a fully realized protagonist. The complications she faced in her life create wonderful points of tension and self discovery that allow for extremely compelling messages and moments of growth. And, on top of all that, there is an incredibly sweet romance with communication, respect, and growth *swoon*.
Full disclosure, this book caught my eye because I am a complete sucker for medical romance stories. I love that this book was written by an Osteopath, and I love the multimedia integration that the author, Dr. Dymond, included; from art to a Swiftie game to QR codes for bonus content, this book did a great job of being immersive beyond the typical confines of a novel.
I guess the only area of this book that felt like loose ends to me concerned the characters that weren’t at one point or another romantically tied to the main character; past crushes, fake dates, and of course her MMC counterpart were pretty well fleshed out and given realized character arcs. However, that same treatment wasn’t provided for Tiffany’s friendships. This treatment was confusing because one of those characters, beyond just the friendship the character and Tiffany had, was pretty significant.
I recommend this book if you are looking for a romance where the MMC is a simp out of the gates, and there are zero doubts about the trajectory of the relationship. I mostly recommend this book if you want some surprising character building that highlights other themes in the book perhaps more than the romance does. Or, if you are three weeks into Dedicated and medicine is rotting your brain and is seeping into your “for fun” reads (IYKYK…okay, maybe that’s just me). I do recommend this story though!
