What a wild time!!! The suspense from the get go had me hooked! I could have never guessed where this story was going to go and was on the edge of my seat just waiting for the reveal!
Our FMC is completing her residency in radiology when her past threatens to haunt her, after years of trying to forget and separate herself from her nightmares what will happen when it all goes bang 🫨
Just a really refreshing story too, I thought this was just going to it’s be a cutesy romance story about two doctors but I was wrong in the best way😂🥰
I really enjoyed learning more and more about Tiffany even though I had major doubts about her for quite some time 😅😅 Ethan- the man the myth the legend, big fan of his overall. Love a bit of karate kid in the morning 😂 and he was just such a fun mmc!!
I found this book to be entertaining all the way through. I enjoyed the chemistry between Tiffany and Ethan from the moment they met. Who doesn’t love a good enemies to lovers? My favourite parts were definitely the flashbacks through Tiffany’s life. They were so well written it felt like I was there with her. I appreciated the author showing us the happy times transitioning into something else as she aged. I understood the desperation behind her actions and was rooting for her the whole time. However, I had a hard time taking her decisions in the present seriously as her mistakes were almost hyped up more than what she actually committed. The constant nightmares and years of social isolation seemed a bit extreme. I found some of the romantic interactions between her and Ethan to be a little on the cheesier side. I know they spent a month living together, but they also only knew each other for what seems like at most 2 months. I also found this novel a little too convenient at times. My last critique comes from the epilogue. I did not like the twist as it also felt too convenient and a little icky. Overall I enjoyed this novel and found it to be a quick and easy read. It read like a Hallmark movie with an edge. There was never a point I felt the story was dragging. I would definitely read more work from this author in the future.
Dr. Tiffany is known as the ice queen until she trains new hire Dr. Ethan. They are forced to share quarters and must flee her past.
An enemies-to-lovers grumpy-sunshine suspense/romance. The characters are terrific. I like the chemistry between the leads. The plot is terrific and moves along nicely. An interesting read.
Thanks to the publisher for the arc.
Author did a great job with build up as she slowly pulls away the layers of Dr Hart. I think I was as anxious as Ethan to figure out what her bad dreams were about.
Very detailed writing, with images vivid enough you’d think you were right there mingling with the characters.
I didn’t expect all the extra thrills and excitement, but I was definitely pleasantly surprised. Not your average romance.
I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley, and oh my was it cute! I read it in a matter of a few hours.
The chemistry between Tiffany & Ethan was so good. The initial interaction between them was the perfect way to introduce the reverse grumpy sunshine trope. Other tropes featured in this book are forced proximity (a personal favorite of mine), he falls first, work place romance, and "good girl."
Tiffany & Ethan were so well matched. You've got Tiffany, who is solely focused on work & her cat Fred, mainlines coffee like her life depends on it, and has a secret past that causes her to push everyone way. Then you've got Ethan, who is a bit of a gold retriever, starting over in his career, comes from a well-known medical family, and who is all in from the moment he lays eyes on the red-headed firecracker that is Tiffany. And the spice was good, but not over the top. Add in the mystery of Tiffany's past and the suspense surrounding it, and you've got a story that keeps you on edge.
If their chemistry and relationship development aren't enough for you, they spend time at Disney World. As a full-blown Disney adult, my heart was happy.
This book comes out June 17th, 2024 in two versions: a spicy/open door version & a sweet/closed door version. If you're looking for a quick, romantic read, I highly recommend this book.
First thought: OMG that was Amazing! I just binged it in one sitting it’s everything a book should be. This has it all: sexy doctors, banter, great suspense, spice, Disney World, touch her and die, flashbacks for backstory and so much more. If you’re a Grey’s Anatomy fan, this is an automatic Hell Yes! Run and add to your TBR now, Melissa writes only 5⭐️ books.
Tiffany grew up the child of a single mom in Nevada and she learned at a young age how to stand up for herself. But losing her mom at age of 18 to lung cancer made her choose some not optimal life choices to survive. But she made it to the other side and now she’s in her third year of residency as a radiologist and has been invited to present at a conference in Orlando. She has no one standing between her and success or so she thought.
Ethan is transferring residency programs and is starting over in radiology, he is the sexy doctor everyone dreams of. The only problem is he’s a nice guy he brings the sun wherever he goes, and he is now working with the Ice Queen herself Tiffany. They kind of got off on the wrong foot when he ruined her chances at intern of the month, by pointing out her mistake.
Now they have been assigned to work together and sparks will fly! But you know what they say it’s a fine line between hate and love. The only issue is can Ethan melt Tiffany’s defenses or will her walls and past freeze any chance they have.

This book caught me completely off guard! If you're expecting a cliché, stereotypical, run-of-the-mill romance, you won't find it here.
Here are a few things that took me by surprise:
Firstly, the dynamic between the main characters was a refreshing twist on the typical "grumpy sunshine" trope. Usually, I find myself immediately connecting with the female protagonist and gradually warming up to the male lead.
But with Ethan, it was the opposite—I was drawn to him from the start, while it took some time for me to warm up to Tiffany and see them as the perfect couple. It was an unusual experience, especially since we only get Tiffany's perspective and not Ethan's.
Secondly, I wasn't expecting so much action and suspense in the latter half of the book. The shift in tone and pace caught me off guard, but in a thrilling way.
Thirdly, the book's opening scenes in the hospital didn't prepare me for the vibrant settings later on, like Disney and Vegas. It was a pleasant surprise that added depth to the story.
Fourthly, I anticipated some emotional drama from Tiffany's past, but I didn't expect the external conflicts that arose. The plot took unexpected turns that kept me on the edge of my seat.
Lastly, Tiffany's backstory was far more intricate and compelling than I imagined. Her flashbacks were captivating, almost like a story within a story. There were moments when I found myself more invested in her past than the present-day storyline.
Overall, this book starts as a slow burn, but once it picks up, it's impossible to put down.
I extend my thanks to Netgalley and Victory Editing Group NetGalley
for providing me with a review copy of this book.
A charming rom com with touch of suspense and all the feels.
Admittedly, I was expecting to enjoy Paging Dr Hart, but reading it blew away those expectations. So much more depth and story elements than I was expecting. When we first meet Tiffany Hart, she's buttoned up and locked in in her determination to be successful, but only as we learn her history do we understand why. Asked to interview a potential new resident in radiology, Ethan Clark, her first response is antipathy, especially after he spoils her important presentation. Naturally, their relationship start changing due to the reliable tropes of forced proximity and just one bed. But the story has more than that. Interspersed are chapters of Tiffany was growing up in Las Vegas with a single mom who developed cancer. Now Tiffany is receiving ominous text messages from an unknown sender. How that plays out adds another dimension to the story. In fact, at the end there is a teaser dropped that makes me want to read the next book now.
Rounding my rating up from 4.5 ⭐s.
LOVE 😍LOVE 😍LOVE 😍LOVE 😍LOVE
I cannot stress enough how much I LOVED this book!
Not only do I just LOOOOOOOVE this book but 10% of all proceeds are donated to lung cancer research! How cool is that! Not only do you get to read a great book but you also participate in giving back to a great and important cause!
Now that I’ve stressed how much I lOVE this book let’s get to my review. This book is a cute enemies to lovers, grumpy v. sunshine, but also twisty and suspenseful! If that’s what you’re looking for to read… then look NO further! I promise you this is the one to get you hooked on romances! This book gives off a great Grey’s Anatomy vibe as the main characters are doctors falling in love…talk about McDreamy and Meredith vibes😏 I also have a long healthcare background so that aspect was already intriguing to me prior to reading. I loved that I knew the lingo and verbiage that I hear daily! I couldn’t put this down, I kept telling myself one more chapter! Let’s not forget to mention that this book also contains some spiceeeee🌶️ Not to worry though if that isn’t your cup of tea Dr. Melissa Damond has two versions, one sweet/clean version and for those who like a little more spice and excitement she has a spicy version!
I really enjoyed the playful banter between the two characters from start to finish and I was hooked while they were falling in love! This book will give you a look into the main character’s past/background which will explain why at first she may not be very likable. However, you understand later why she is the way she is and her character growth is incredible from start to finish. The entire time I was reading this book I felt like the story was playing out in my head. The way Dr. Melissa Dymond writes is beautiful, but the imagery she uses really sweeps you away feeling like you’re directly watching this love story unfold! I can’t recommend this book enough, all my colleagues have already heard me talking about this almost on the daily(not an exaggeration). 😂I will definitely be pre ordering the next book when it drops without hesitation!!!! Adding Dr. Melissa Dymond to my list of Authors that I will read every single book that comes out and I hope you do too!
Dr. Melissa Dymond did it again! Holiday Star might have been published first, but seeing where the previously mentioned Dr. Tiffany Hart came from was so great! I loved getting to know Tiffany and Dr. Ethan Clark. This book, just like Melissa's previous release, was so much more than just a romance. It tackles difficult very real topics and really takes the reader on a journey of processing and healing with the MCs.
Absolutely AMAZING! I loved every minute of it, even the hard ones.
TO THE BOOK THAT GOT ME OUT OF MY READING SLUMP!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK!! I was immediately captured by the characters and their daily lives! I kept wanting to know more information on each character! I found it very hard for me to put down this book because of how invested I became with each character! You will find yourself concerned for other characters and feel your heart strings getting tugged on during this rollercoaster of a read!
LOVED LOVED LOVED! Omg this book was great! The second it said enemies to lovers ofc I hoped on it! And "who did this" bro folded! The spice was perfect! One of my favorite books so far! - Ciara Rivera
