Dr. Tiffany Hart’s Ice Queen facade hides a dark past. Dr. Ethan Clark is running from his family legacy and trying to form his own path. When Tiffany is assigned to train Ethan, sparks fly and the pair get closer and closer.

Rating 4/5 ⭐️s - Rom com with a touch of suspense. I loved being in with Tiffany and Ethan during their various trips. (Can I go to Disney World for a conference? How about Tiffany’s hometown - I love that place!) It made me miss traveling so much. Watching these two get closer was endearing.

Spice Rating 3/5 🌶️s - A couple of open door spicy scenes. Felt a bit tame but I can appreciate it. If you’re not into spice, there’s a sweet version which is pretty cool.

Thank you Dr. Melissa Dymond and NetGalley for this fantastic medical romance.

Tropes:
* Forced Proximity
* Reversed Grumpy x Sunshine

This cutesy cover really fooled me!
I read this authors previous book the holiday star and wasn’t sure what to expect with this one.
This book has it all - a little suspense,spice and romance.

Dr. Tiffany Hart aka Ice Queen aka Tiffy💕 grew up with a single mom in near the Vegas strip .Her mom ends up having lung cancer which makes Tiffany do something’s that haunt her. (Also amazing these books go towards lung cancer!!!) Ethan Clarke a new radiology resident grew up the odd ball out with 2 doctors parents and a super smart brother. He comes from another hospital in Cleveland to switch specialties to get out from under the shadow of his family.

Tiffany and Ethan grow close and the chemistry is there from the start. Ethan just gets her and doesn’t push her to rush into anything. The visit is Disney was so sweet. Ethan shocked me when he came to her rescue too!! I didn’t know he had it in him.

Shout out to Netgalley and Victory Editing for allowing me to review this book.

Paging Dr. Hart was definitely not what I expected! I went into this book blind because the cover intrigued me. I was hoping for a little bit of hospital drama like one of my favorite sitcoms and it delivered. We meet Tiffany Hart who seems to have it all together. She’s efficient and knowledgeable. She’s working hard to be the top resident. She doesn’t have time for friendships let alone relationships. A new resident comes in and embarrasses her from the moment they meet.

But this novel isn’t all romance… Tiffany has a darker side that she’s tried to shut away. In her past she did what she had to do. She needed to survive and do anything to help her mother. As she finally begins to build a relationship she worries that her past will scare him away. She won’t tell him… that is until her past shows up confronting her.

I enjoyed learning about Tiffany and her story. It led me to question are some bad deeds acceptable for good intentions? Good people make bad choices but it doesn’t have to define them. I loved seeing true depth to the characters and their motives. It wasn’t the typical romance novel. I loved that the main character had a back story as well as a chance as redemption. If you enjoy work place relationships, forced proximity, one bed and enemies to lovers this is your book for the summer! Paging Dr. Hart releases 7/31/24. Thank you NetGalley and Dr. Melissa Dymond for allowing me this advanced read.

Thank you NetGalley and the author for this ARC.

3.5 ⭐️

I went into this book expecting Grey’s Anatomy with a main romance line, but the plot ended up a total unexpected surprise. There is a back and forth timeline between the FMC’s past (Vegas! Guns! Diamonds!) and her present life as a radiology intern.

I really enjoyed the medical side of this and it’s no surprise the author is a doctor. It was fun to slip into the world of being a resident and trust the facts would all be correct thanks to her expertise!

The past timeline and Vegas twists were really unexpected, and almost felt like they could have been a separate book. It was a lot to take in but also kept you turning the pages. And prepare yourself for a cliffhanger of sorts at the end in this realm!

The romance was great and spicy, and the MMC was definitely a McDreamy.

Note: I was a bit confused by the artwork throughout the book and some large titles (FRIENDSHIP) but assumed those would work themselves out in the final version? I just wasn’t sure if they were where they were supposed to be

3.5!
Dr. Tiffany Hart has a dark past that she’s tried hard to forget, but when she finally decides to let Ethan in, a fellow resident student, her past comes back to find her.

I really liked the idea of this book. I love me a medical drama and mystery! It was a fun and fast read. It kept me turning the pages to find out what happened in Tiffy’s past. In the book there are two timelines being told, and I liked the insight. However, I had a bit of a hard time connecting the past and present Tiffany- they almost seemed like a different person. I would’ve loved to have seen a little more character depth- but overall it was a fun read!!

Do not let the cover of this book fool you! It was seriously such a surprise to me the turn this story took and I am here for it! 🙌 If you are expecting an easy Scrubs-esque rom-com, then you are in for a surprise. Take that and mix it with a dark past, add some thrill, mystery and crime bosses and you’ll get this gem! It’s such a unique story and I love it!

This is not your average romance at all. Tiffany has a dark history back in Las Vegas where she grew up. Now a respected Radiology resident- she’s tried very hard to leave her past behind, but it’s beginning to catch up to her when she starts receiving cryptic messages from an unknown sender. Ethan is a man trying to distance himself from his family’s legacy to prove that he can be successful on his own. Together, they break down one another’s walls and find the love they never thought they deserved.

I read the spicy version, but the author has a clean version for those that prefer it that way. Let me tell you, though, while this was a Slow Slow Slowwwww Burn, when it finally caught Fire… WOW! 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️ 🥵 🥵

I’ve never read a book by this author before but I absolutely loved it! Thank you so much for the ARC! I loved this story, it was extremely well written. Will definitely be on the lookout for more books by this author!

I really enjoyed this book it had so many twists and turns it kept me on my toes but at the same time made me fall for the characters. I can’t wait for the next one!

This is a very suspenseful story and I loved it ~ I absolutely adore this author's writing and the underlying tension(s). My mind was constantly trying to workout who the villain(s) is and what exactly happened.
Both protagonists were extremely lovable and I loved their dynamic ~ and the spice was spicy, hehe!
When everything got revealed, I gasped out loud and honestly? I can’t wait for another book from the author.

Science meets workplace romance friends to lovers. Absolutely loved it! Perfect for my research breaks!

This book was nothing like I expected it to be and I absolutely loved it!!

Both main characters were very likeable and I thoroughly enjoyed the time jumps to get a better understanding of Tiffany and her past. I loved what an oooey gooey cinnamon roll Ethan was and how he really softened Tiffany’s rougher edges!

This book was a great read with the right amount of sweet, spice and suspense!

4 stars.

This story is well done - it provides romance and mystery while keeping the reader asking “where is this going?”

I feel like I accidentally learned a lot about Disney World, though.

The cover of this book is so cute and light hearted, however the book is not. I was supposed by the plot, well mildly surprised since the description says suspense. Most romance books that say they are suspense never deliver and Im usually disappointed and can guess everything that's happening. I hadn't the slightest clue with this book what was going. It was well written and kept me guessing! Can't wait to see what the author has planned next

I absolutely love this! The spice, and the dynamic of the characters are developed well and enough to keep you wanting more. The female MC is a very realistic career driven woman (if you have ever met one you know). I like how relatable she is and she is not overgeneralized. The male MC however is kinda cliche, but the author still allows him to have feelings instead of a strong "alpha* male. The flashback backs and time period switches are very clear and concise which I loved. Normally they are messy and confusing to read but in this case it was pretty good. However, I would edit out the fluff in the next one.

4.5 ⭐️

It took me a little while to get fully invested in this one, but it eventually sucked me in and I couldn’t put it down! It was the perfect balance of romance with suspense. It had a good balance of heartwarming moments, excitement, and heavier content (such as grief and unresolved childhood trauma). I really enjoyed the dual timeline that allowed us to learn about Tiffany’s troubled past! Admittedly, I was a bit more interested by the past timeline than the present timeline, but when the past started catching up with the present, I was captivated. The author had a really engaging writing style and the pacing was well-done! There were some twists and betrayals I didn’t see coming.

I thought the romance was sweet and the characters were flawed and relatable in some ways (Ethan with his people pleasing and fear of failure, Tiffany with her reluctance to lean on others due to being burned in the past, her desire to prove herself and make something of herself, etc.). The MCs gave off black cat and golden retriever vibes. They had good banter and chemistry! I usually enjoy a he falls first (and harder) trope; however, in this case, it felt a little too instalovey on his side which resulted in there being less tension in the slow-burn than I tend to prefer. The MMC is a total sweetheart and is literally the definition of a man written by a woman (a few cheesy romantic lines included haha, but hey, he’s still swoon-worthy). Green flags all around. (Though, I hated that he called her Tiffy, especially during spice scenes…haha, I’m sorry but that’s just not a cute nickname).

The end left a few things open and unanswered; however, this is because she is setting it up to be the first book in a series of interconnected standalones. Well, I’m now hooked and will definitely be keeping my eyes out for the next book! 👀

This book is available in two versions: Sweet (non-explicit, just kisses) and Spicy (mild explicit language, open-door) so readers can enjoy it at their own comfort level! I personally read the Spicy version and wanted to note that I felt the spice was well-balanced with the romance and plot. There were only about 2 or 3 open-door scenes so didn’t feel overly spicy and I didn’t think the spice distracted from the story at all!

Thank you to Dr. Melissa Dymond, Netgalley, and Victory Editing for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

This book seriously gave off Grey’s Anatomy vibes and I am obsessed I love that show and to have read it in a book is amazing! I loved the dual and the future/past timelines. It brought the book together and was able to learn and understand all of Tiffany’s insecurities. I love the dynamic between characters. It was just a refreshing fun adventure in a book!

“It’s like I’m always telling you. You’re stuck with me.”
There are green flags... Then there is Ethan Clark!!! He is definitely the biggest green flag to ever exist!!! There are tropes that are regular in any romance book... But instead of executing those in the same old way, I loved how the author spun them in a refreshing way... Even the grumpy/Sunshine trope, because here the usual sunshine is the grumpy one!
There are so many things I loved about this book... (a) The story.... It's so refreshing to read a medical drama, a romance, that too with a suspense!! I have to tell you @melissadymond you are a genius! (b) The characters... Both Tiffany and Ethan were so likable. Tiffany having her dark past, and Ethan being the epitome of support, the story stood strong in their shoulders. (c) The writing... There isn't a bit in the book where I didn't like reading it at all. It is so smooth that the story just flows on and on. I'm so happy to be given that eARC, because this is hands down the best romance I read recently! Thank you so much, and eagerly waiting for the upcoming stories from Dr. Hart world! And I definitely need a physical copy of this one!!

And if these tropes excite you,
🔵 Medical Romance
🔵 Grumpy/Sunshine (reverse)
🔵 Dual Timeline
🔵 Workplace Romance
🔵 Forced proximity
🔵 Rivals to Lovers
🔵 He falls first
🔵 Slow Burn
You will definitely love this book!

Thank you NetGalley, and Victory Editing for sending me this ARC.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this audio.

Did someone say Greys Anatomy! lol when I read the blurb I thought of Greys. I was a bit disappointed that it started off pretty slow. It took me. A while to get into thjs but about 30% in it picked up and was pretty fast paced. I really liked it. I a glad I kept reading!

This book fit perfectly in my Grey’s Anatomy mood I was having! I was not expecting the thrilling heist/suspense elements to be so intriguing. Overall I wished there was more medical drama and better pacing with the flashbacks, after 50% I was finally hooked. I’d recommend this to someone who likes reading character driven plot, as Tiffany’s journey is such a beautiful transformation.

Thank you Netgally for the eARC!

It felt like I was running out of time so I badly needed some good quality reads in the shortest amount of time — and this title came up.

It was an easy and quick read, just as I wanted. Being fond of Grey’s Anatomy made me think as if this is a book version of a couple in the series. Kind of like Dr. Pierce and the guy intern (sorry! I forgot the naaaame!)

The “dark past” of Dr. Hart was not exactly what I pictured. The comeback of a person from her past felt forced and the same goes for the resolution afterwards. It also felt like the male lead was somewhat built up for somebody who once was part of Dr. Hart’s past but then turned out he’s not (and he’s an entirely different person).

The illustrations on the book was the real ✨bomb✨. There were definitely a lot of swoon-worthy lines but they seemed cliché— but they are reaction worthy. Some of mine include: ‘What the—?’, ‘Huh-‘, and ‘Really?’

It’s good for a quick read with a little spice medical-themed romance.
