What a cute story! I loved the dynamic between Tiffany and Ethan. I was surprised by the second half of the book because it took a different turn (but not in a bad way) - I thought this would be only a romance but it definitely had some spins!

4 stars!

Thank you Netgalley for the advanced reader copy!

I couldn’t put this down!!

I loved the dual timeline and how it highlighted the stark differences in Tiffany’s past and present life. I loved Ethan and his unwavering patience and kindness with Tiffany. And I loved watching these two fall in love!!

A sincere thank you to the publisher for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley! All opinions are honest and my own.

5+ ⭐️
What a great book. You’re hooked into the story from the beginning. When there are flashbacks to different parts of Tiffany’s life, you really want to know what’s going to happen. I was glued to the book and couldn’t wait to find out everything. I really, really enjoyed reading this story, it has some depths and raw feelings but it’s so beautifully written.
So Ethan is a real charmer: he’s sweet, caring, athletic and smart. He’s the one to break down the walls around Tiffany’s heart and he’s so protective. Tiffany is a smart cookie who had to grow up faster than a normal kid but with a great moral compass.
I’m so looking forward to the next stories because I have some questions and I’m glad Melissa voiced them and told us the answers will come in the next books.
So I can only say one thing: enjoy this story!

I received an advance review copy by Netgalley for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I loved the mystery of Tiffany's past intertwined with her love story with Ethan. It made the book more intriguing and it was a unique plot I haven't read before, which is difficult to find when you read 4-5 books a month!

The mystery and history of Tiffany's past gave her character a lot of depth, while the author was sure to give the MMC some history and depth as well.

I was definitely rooting for them to get and stay together!

A really enjoyable read and I can't wait to find out what happens in the next book in the series!

Had a blast reading this! The cover got me interested, and when I read the description of the book – I knew I had to read it.

Normally, I’m not a fan of recurring flashbacks to the past, but in this one it was great! Kept up with the suspense and I could not let this one down for a minute without wondering what would come next. Slow burn, some spice (but good spice) and a great pace in the story. Totally recommended read from me!

This was such a great read! I loved both of the main characters, Tiffany and Ethan's, backstories. I think that it really showed growth and depth to the characters. I always love a good workplace dislike to lovers story line so this was a great read! I can't wait to find the physical version next time I'm at the book store!

My first NetGalley read and it was so good! This story follows Dr. Tiffany Hart, a rule following radiology resident who takes her job very seriously and hasn’t made time for love or friends in a long time. When she meets Ethan Clark, a first year resident joining her hospital, she doesn’t like him at first. But Ethan’s open, positive stance toward her opens her up like a flower. Soon, the two of them undeniably connect and grow stronger every day. But is their blossoming relationship strong enough for the secrets from Tiffany’s past that haunt her future?

This book was amazing. I loved Ethan so much! He must have been the most green-flagged book boyfriend I’ve ever met. There was just no bad bone in his body! And then at the same time he has a black belt in karate and kicks some serious ass?! Where can I sign up for my own Ethan?

The story of Tiffany’s past was heartbreaking. I can’t imagine what she had to go through in her younger years and it was very hard to see it haunt her, just when she was getting happy. Luckily she had Ethan by her side!

Oh, and did you know that this book has a sweet and a spicy version? In that way you can choose whatever suits you best 🩵

This book is coming out tomorrow, thank you so much for letting me read it in advance @melissadymondauthor 💙🩵💙

iffany is training to be a radiologist. In a presentation, she is corrected by a man in the audience. Dr Washburn, her boss, asks her to interview someone for a first-year radiology position. Tiffany, finds to her irritation that it is the same guy who questioned her in the presentation - Ethan Clark. He is from Cleveland, and his parents are doctors. Their professional interaction kicks off on the wrong foot. Ethan is very good looking, talkative and charming; and he finds Tiffany’s aloof attitude (a few refer to her as “ice queen” behind her back) to be fascinating. Tiffany receives some text and images from an unknown number alluding to her past, which she finds disturbing.

Tiffany has had a difficult childhood & teen years in Vegas. After a painful struggle, her mother passed away, and she has no close family left. A neighbour, Mr Chen, supported her. Shelly was a friend during that time and along with another man Rafe, they plan a scheme to make money which Tiffany regrets later.

I liked the backstories for both Tiffany and Ethan. The characters are well developed. The later part of the story is predictable and a couple of threads are quite needlessly left open.

This is a nice light read for the most part, which I enjoyed.

My rating: 4.25 / 5.

Thanks to Netgalley, Victory Editing and the author for a free electronic review copy.

“I promise,”he says. That smile again, this time unfurling slowly. “I’ll grow on you.”

I loved the writing style of chapters split by timeline, we get glimpses as Tiffany, the FMC’s past catches up to her present.

Ethan, oh my, oh my! He’s the sweetest golden retriever MC who stuck with the grumpy FMC until the very end! I’d love to meet him in person! 😅

Overall, I loved the not so typical medical workplace romance. Highly recommend it! If you liked Grey’s Anatomy TV series, Twisted series by Ana Huang you’ll love Paging Dr.Hart! ❤️

This book has it all, medicine, romance, and mystery!
It’s rare to find a book where the medical aspects are so accurate!

This book was such a fun read, the pace flowed and the story kept me thinking about the book anytime I wasn’t reading it. Tiffany and Ethan have a rough start but slowly over time they become colleagues, friends and maybe more.

The Author did a great job keeping the present connected to the past, and slowly giving us clues into who may be stalking Dr. Hart. It played out perfectly and I was so focused on the flowing romance that I forgot about the danger, and so did Tiffany.

Ethan was so kind and so understanding, no wonder he melted the “Ice Queen” exterior! The romance, the spice, all of it was *chefs kiss*. I think there are many things to love about this book, and I would definitely recommend to a friend!

Thank you to Dr. Melissa Dymond for this incredible book, one of the few 5 ⭐️’s I’ve given this year!

Also big thank you to Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op along with NetGalley for my ebook copy of “Paging Dr. Hart”.

I received an advance review copy of this ebook for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Pleasantly surprised!!! Totally thought I was going to read ‘another’ medical romance however, it turned to be suspenseful when trying to figure out the main characters dark past.

Loved how the story visits both Vegas and Florida ( my two favorite vacation destinations)

Will definitely check out the rest of the series!

Thanks for allowing me to read an ARC!

3.5 ⭐️

I liked the premise of this story, but it took me a bit to get into. But once I did, I did enjoy it.

I liked that the story was dual timeline instead of just a flashback. I think it kept the book interesting. I liked the plot and the characters, it all felt extremely well though out, but there were times when the dialogue had felt a little immature. Mostly in the beginning when Tiffany didn't like Ethan. I do wish that the suspense had been played on a little bit more. I felt like after Tiffany blocked the number that element kinda...went away until the conference.

I definitely plan on reading more by Melissa and checking out more of this series as it comes out.

Thank you NetGalley and Victory Editing for providing me an ARC copy of the book for my honest opinion.

Dr Tiffany Hart is on the path to becoming a doctor, currently in a residency program for radiology and has goals of receiving the resident of the month award. To her peers, she is aloof, studious, and known as the “ice queen”. She is forced to train a new transfer into her program, Ethan Clark a friendly, charming, attractive year 2 internal medicine resident who comes from a family legacy of doctors. What initially starts off as tumultuous relationship, slowly becomes friendly. The book is written in alternating timelines with her present day MD training and her past as a troubled youth living in Las Vegas trying to make ends meet with her single parent mother who becomes sick.

Quick, cute read. I love alternating timelines and the author does a great job with this respect. This book is good for those that love enemies to lovers, forced proximity, coworkers,
doctor tropes with mild spicy/open door romance and HEA with a bit of a cliffhanger.

3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5

**potential spoilers below**

I like the backstory on Tiffany but felt towards the end it was a little much, trying to be Oceans 11 plot. Then the section where her Las Vegas past connects with her present day self with Rafe blackmailing and abducting her, it was just not believable. I felt like the main doctor storyline was predictable and unrealistic that Ethan liked Tiffany from the beginning, she was kinda awful to him initially. I overall enjoyed the book but did not feel connected with the characters.

Paging Dr. Hart by Dr. Melissa Dymond - Arc recieved by NetGalley

I am writing this review based soley on my own opinions.

I got about 20% into this book and did not fully complete it because I could not personally relate to the characters.

Tiffany is a Dr who has a mysterious past and is being reminded by a mysterious sender via text messaging.

Ethan is, essentially, the human version of a golden retriever. He is sweet and charming.

While I loved the banter, I kept getting side tracked with the back story and that's not usually a type of books I go for. I was also confused by the way there are two different versions of this book: spicy and closed door. Not sure which one I recieved, but however the text was still well written and cohesive.

The over premise was great, and I believe anyone who is a medical professional, or just enjoys medical romances, would enjoy this book!

The book follows Dr Tiffany Hart a third year radiology resident who is focused on being the best radiologist out there. She’s got her head in the game and only obsessed with work that she has no time for fun, friends or love. At this moment, enters Dr Ethan Clark, a new resident (hot, kinda cocky but also really nice) that she’s gotta train. Now not only does this foils her plans in the form of a competition, but there’s also some unknown number sending her texts about her past that she so desperately wants to get away from. Is it all just animosity or will Tiffany warm up to Ethan? Who’s blackmailing her? Why does she keep having recurring nightmares of her past?

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a slow start but after a few chapters in it grabbed my attention, I think I finished the book in 3 days. It was very intriguing especially because it had a lot of serious topics like death of a parent due to cancer, troubled childhood, trauma and etc.

There were certain parts of Tiffany that I could relate to. I could empathise with her character and the writer has shown her character development very well. It’s nice to see how she tuned over a new leaf and is doing something meaningful as her career. Ethan is also a very sweet guy. He truly is a giant golden retriever. There’s just so much love and compassion that he exudes for Tiffany. I especially enjoyed the cute banter between the two in their initial conversations.

This could have been a heavy book but I’m glad the writer wrote it in such a delicate manner that it didn’t hit me too hard or got me too emotional. This is not just a regular rom-com because there’s an element of thriller in it as well. Overall I would say this is a very enjoyable read. After reading that epilogue, I’ve become very curious to know more of Tiffany and her parents story. I get the feeling it would be very interesting indeed.

Paging Dr. Hart by Melissa Dymond - Spicy Version
4.5 Stars
2.5 Spice
If you're a fan of Lucy Score's "Knockemout" series or the drama of "Grey's Anatomy," you'll find "Paging Dr. Hart" by Melissa Dymond an engaging read.

While I usually don't prefer alternating timelines, Melissa Dymond masterfully handles this narrative technique. The transitions between past and present were so compelling that I found myself deeply invested in both timelines, unable to put the book down.

The protagonist, Tiffany, also known as the “Ice Queen,” faces significant struggles in her upbringing that profoundly shape her present-day persona. Similarly, Ethan’s past gradually unfolds, revealing layers of his character and making him more relatable and complex as the story progresses. By the end, I was fully committed to both characters and their journeys.

The supporting characters are equally captivating, drawing readers further into the story. I eagerly anticipate the next installments in the Dr. Hart series. Melissa, please continue exploring this world!

Dymond's writing is reminiscent of Lucy Score's—witty and accessible—yet she adds a depth that keeps readers enthralled. Her storytelling grips you, making it hard to stop reading until the early hours of the morning.

Overall, I rate this book 4.5 stars. The blend of suspense and romance was truly enjoyable. Thank you, NetGalley, for the opportunity to read and review this book. I am now a dedicated fan of Dr. Hart and Melissa Dymond!

My initial thoughts: I’m a sucker for enemies to lovers trope. The main FMC has a lot more depth to her background than I expected. It’s like a bit of romance and a bit of low key suspense.

What it’s about: Dr. Tiffany Hart is a radiology resident who has carved her way through life depending on no one to build the current stable one she is living now. When her residency suddenly loses a resident, the replacement intern is hot Dr. Ethan Clark who comes from a long legacy of doctors. The two of them start off on the wrong foot, but then Tiffany is ordered to share an office with Ethan and train him. They get sent to another hospital and a medical conference at Disney World where the close proximity is a recipe for friendship and maybe more? That is…until Tiffany’s unusual past catches up with her. She has tried to bury her past so deep, but it’s starting to haunt her again and this time threatens her hard earned life and reputation as well as whatever new relationship is blooming with Ethan. How will they navigate the line between past and present when one is threatening to destabilize the other?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️

What I thought: I think it’s fairly well written. The FMC has a lot more depth and history in her past, which you learn as you go through the book and plays a large part in the plot. She’s also the grumpy one in this book. The MMC is like vanilla - a little plain, but sweet. His character development is a bit lackluster. The relationship is a slow burn romance where the chemistry is sweet, rather than hot and heavy. 1 main open door scene 🎬 that stuck out to me. (I was honestly more invested in learning about Tiffany’s past throughout and how it collided with her present). Some of my favorite tropes though: enemies to lovers and forced proximity. I surprisingly enjoyed the aspect of suspense mixed with the romance.

Interesting facts: The book is offered in both closed door and open door versions. If you subscribe to the author’s website, you can get free chapters and content from other perspectives. There are 2 more planned books - 1 of which is a prequel featuring Tiffany’s parents which is left as a bit of a cliffhanger.

I must admit, I wasn't expecting to be so thoroughly captivated by this book, but it completely won me over. The author's decision to delve into Tiffany's past was a masterstroke, adding a rich layer of complexity to the story that made her character all the more relatable and endearing.

One of the standout aspects of this book is the refreshing twist on the typical romance trope - the fact that "he falls first" is a welcome change of pace that added a delightful layer of tension and emotional depth to the narrative.

I found myself completely absorbed in the story, neglecting my responsibilities and ignoring the world around me as I devoured page after page, desperate to know what would happen next. The chemistry between Tiffany and Ethan is undeniable, and their romance is expertly woven throughout the story, leaving me feeling all the feels.

I'm thrilled to have gotten this gem of a book, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a captivating book that will keep them up all night, eager to find out what happens next.

Wow, wow, wow! I am OBSESSED. This book has me still thinking about it days later and I’m normally one who forgets all the details and characters of a book as soon as I move on to the next one. (That’s terrible, I know.) But that is NOT the case with this amazing story.

First off, this book is offered in both a spicy and sweet version which I wish more authors would do. I’m sure it is a LOT of work, but I truly appreciate Melissa doing this. It is amazing that everyone can enjoy her books without compromising on their comfort/morals and the fact that she puts in the extra work to make this possible says so much about her as an author and a person.

Now how to write this review without spoiling too much… it’s so hard not to just scream all the details because there is just so much goodness packed into this 300+ page book.

I am absolutely in love with the characters, the relationships, and the storyline. I genuinely did not want it to end. The character building for every👏🏻 single👏🏻 person👏🏻, even the side characters, was incredible. I felt like I personally knew each and every one of them. The backstory included for most of them, especially Tiffany, was *chefs kiss* perfectly done. I loved the dual timeline for her and getting to see her past and how and why she came to be the person that she is. Just like Melissa’s debut novel, this one is also such a unique take on a romance novel. There’s so much more wrapped up in this story. It’s a bit thriller, mystery, suspense, and drama as well with Tiffany’s traumatic past following her into the now and making this a genuinely thrilling adventure. It was just so dang good.

I truly enjoyed watching the relationship between Ethan and Tiffany grow. They compliment and complete each other so perfectly. The laughs, tears, and swoon moments are, I’ll say it again, perfect. Their Disney World trip had me reminiscing on my own childhood trips and feeling like I was right there with them.

I wish I could give this more than 5 stars. Melissa’s storytelling abilities are insane in the best ways and you are truly missing out if you don’t give this one a chance. I’m so thankful to her and NetGalley to have been a part of this ARC team!

This was a really good read! I enjoyed following the dual timelines that highlights Tiffany's life. It had suspense and romance, which made it a more interesting read. Ethan was such a sweetheart and definitely fell in love with Tiff, hard. I am so glad that the author is turning this into a sequel as I want to read more about Tiffany, and find out what happens next between her and Ethan. I would highly recommend this to anybody who enjoys romance. The mystery in the story definitely makes it such a quick read. I wanted more long after I finished the book and quite frankly, I still think about this book!
