4.5 stars This is one of the spiciest books I have read. However, I still enjoyed it!! It was an interesting, unique, and spicy take on “Beauty and the Beast”. The only thing is I am not a huge fan of West. I just don’t quite trust him. I got an arc but my opinion is unbiased.

I enjoyed this book! The character/ relationship development was great! It was a new trope for me that I enjoyed diving into! I wish there was more scenes in “the room”. Overall a great and fast paced read!

When Jessica finally goes to her annual physical exam appointment, the last thing she expects is dark haired, gorgeous Dr. West.

This book had me hooked from literally the first word! 😂😂I loved how quickly we got a slight back story from Adam, that made me want to read on! As the book progress we get to see Adam/ West struggles and trauma, I just wanted to hug him tight 😭 one of the spicy scenes was a wowza moment! I blushed so hard 😂❤️ I loved seeing Jess come out of her shell I loved watching her grow into this confident woman and an actual boss! ❤️ this was the first medical romance book I have read and it’s opened my eyes into a whole new world I didn’t think I would enjoy! Yes this book has dark themes however I didn’t find it that dark compared to some books I have read previously ❤️

A code I need to crack.”

This book is spicy! I love the medical aspect of it. The chemistry between the two characters built up nicely. It was a quick read for me. I definitely didn’t want to put it down.

I loved this so much I devoured it so quickly once I started reading I couldn’t stop. I was enamored by the patient doctor relationship. It was really well written and I can see myself reading reading more from this author in the future.

I will admit that I found the beginning of the book a little strange and bordering on unpleasant. But I love a man possessed so I kept reading. I am glad I continued. The book was really good. A little dark and exciting kinks, I liked the characters and their story. The book was easy to read and the story had a nice flowe. I will definitely read more by this author.

Someone else described this as 50 shades meets Greys Anatomy & it’s exactly that. It’s smutty & fast paced Adam’s character development was really good, because at first I was 100% but I did enjoy how done bad he was for Jess. I did feel like pacing was off a little for me, it’s only a 350 book so thats expected but I feel like another 100 pages would have allowed the plot/romance to develop more.

I am intrigued on Parker & Monica!

Thank you Netgalley & Lexi Davis for sending me an arc copy in exchange for a honest review

Think Grey’s Anatomy meets Fifty Shades. 😏🥵

Deeply Examined — even though it was a slow burn I found that I didn’t want to put it down!!

It’s dark, spicy, has a lot of plot and character development. What more could you want?!

Jessica the FMC is an all warm and sunshine teacher and Adam the MMC is the brooding ambitious doctor with a hidden secret.

Going into Deeply Examined I had high hopes, but it fell a bit flat for me.
The plot itself was interesting and had some good twists, however, there was a low budget-esque feel to it that I couldn't move past.
If you are looking for a basic, quick, smutty read this would fill that spot for sure.

Wow! What a spicy little read! Thank you to Netgalley for the e-arc. This was the perfect palate cleanser between the bigger books I have been reading lately. The characters, the plot, and the spice were amazing!

I ate this book. I read it in less than a day. It was my first time reading a dark romance in a medical setting. Dr. Adam West and teacher Jessica Jones come from a common background, but their lives take two different turns. Their past is explored in the book, and it also explains some of their behaviors.

What started as a routine check up turned into an almost instant romance full of passion and obsession. I didn’t know what to expect about the spicy scenes in that setting but I really liked them. The book combines story, spice, cute moments, and character development.

I didn’t agree with some of the behaviors of West and how he kept things from Jessica. West goes through somewhat “extreme”lengths to protect and keep Jessica. The decision that Jessica makes in the end gave both what they wanted and it fits like they fit with one another.
 
I also liked how the author explored their pasts, how not everything isn’t as it seems when you are in high school, and how they grew throughout the book.
 
I am really intrigued to see where the author takes the story of 2 of the secondary characters. And that unexpected epilogue really surprised me.

Thank you Lexi Davis and Hayling Bookstorm Ltd for the ARC Copy. All opinions are my own.

A dark steamy medical romance that started off intense with plot, romance, and character development sprinkled throughout.

Both characters were well-developed and their backstory was nicely woven into the story (especially Adam's history, which was slowly revealed). Jessica is someone who is just meant to be a teacher with the kind heart and passion she has, and I'm so glad that Adam taught her how to have a voice and be more assertive. Adam was so closed up and stoic before Jessica came back into his life and brought more light/life into him. I loved his reasoning for going into obgyn, especially tied in with the way he revealed the story about his past (which was heartbreaking and I just wanted to give him a huge hug). Loved all their soft and sweet tender moments and I hope to see more of this couple in the next Deeply Desired novel.

4.5

Thank you NetGalley and Lexi Davis for the opportunity to review this ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts.

This was one spicy little number! It was like watching a dark version of Greys Anatomy with lots of trigger warnings. Jessica is a struggling teacher who goes for her annual check up with West. He’s been crushing on her since high school but she doesn’t remember him. So of course she must be his. The chemistry between the two characters, tension, possessiveness, and emotional depth made it unable to put this book down.

I enjoyed this book, it was a spicy short read in between bigger books. The plot was easy to follow and the spice was spicing!

Whewww what a book. West and Jessica’s dynamic was 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️! I enjoyed learning the back story of each character, as everything is not what it seems, and all of the secrets were revealed at the perfect times. I don’t usually read medical romance, but I’m glad I got accepted for this - I’m looking forward to a continuation! Definitely check this out if you like dark romance.

Just want to say thank you Lexi for letting be an ARC Reader for your book. 🥰

A culmination of all three books from the Deeply Examined Series that came out earlier this year, and it does not disappoint. I absolutely loved this story - it is so well written and I would quite happily read it again and again and again!! I basically ate up the whole story in about day.

Jessica Jones is a patient of Dr Adam West and when he steps into the room, he cannot believe what he sees - his High School Crush!! And then when she doesn't realise who he is, he takes matters into his own hands in which things then spiral for the both of them in different ways, and changes their lives forever.

Although this book is dark at times, with spicy scenes throughout (love the artwork), it goes into some depth about Adam's background and his family history, and once Jessica comes back into his life, he then tries to face his demons and insecurities whilst at the same time trying to help Jessica with her own traumas she is facing.

This book is full of tension, jealousy, suspense and angst and I am here for it. Adam is so morally grey, particularly around his possessiveness of Jessica, and then when he goes a bit too far....oh boy!!

Although Jessica is initially wary of him, she cannot resist him as he brings out a side of her she didn't know she could be, and she likes it and wants more.

It is definitely a 5 star read for me 😉

Cannot wait to see what Lexi has in store for us next 🥰

Deeply Examined Omnibus/Completed Novel: A Dark Medical Romance by Lexi Davis offers a captivating mix of Fifty Shades and Grey's Anatomy ( yes I stole this view from another review, it's bang on!).Jessica and West's story was so captivating that I devoured the entire novel in just one afternoon.
Jessica, a struggling teacher, goes for her annual exam, but it turns into something far beyond what she expected. West, stunned to see his high school crush Jessica in his exam room, takes it as an opportunity to dominate her and test her limits. While the novel ventures into dark themes with an abundance of spicy scenes, Lexi Davis beautifully brings depth to both Jessica and West. Watching them evolve both together and apart adds emotional richness to the story. West's complex family history and personal struggles resurface as Jessica re-enters his life, forcing him to confront his demons while supporting Jessica through her own challenges. Jessica's journey unfolds as she begins to understand the extent of West's influence on her life. At first, she resists, but ultimately realizes she doesn’t want to escape his grasp after all. Their journey concludes with a HEA and wraps up deliciously.

Steammmmmmy. Fast paced. Couldn't put it down. So hot. Obsessed with this book is an understatement. Stalking the author now for sure. 🔥😍

This book was a fast paced story from start to finish. If you are looking to dip a toe into the world of medical kink, this may be a good starting point for you.
The pacing was very quick from the first page and was easily readable in one sitting.
However, the pacing didn't really work, as I felt that it left the characters underdeveloped. Knowing more about them earlier in the story would have warmed me to them more and made certain plot points more engaging. The dialog was missing warmth and personality which could also lead to more connection with the characters.
I also felt that some plot points, which offered ample room for quality content, were glossed over in favor of moving along an already short story.

This book was awesome. Spicy and dark. I was lucky to be on Lexi Davis' ARC team when she was releasing this in 3 parts (the cliffhangers were no joke!) The way everything wrapped up in the end and the explanations (the trauma) made sense and created an awesome conclusion to this spicy, dark medical romance. Can't wait to read the next book in the series!

Thank you to Netgalley and Lexi Davis for the eARC.
