Grumpy, unavailable doctor comes head to head with independent, unavailable, much younger nurse, both with plenty of baggage and sizzling attraction they want to ignore. Secrets and miscommunication as they fight the heat, and even interference by the bratva. Lots of spice, and you may want to slap Sam, but a quick read.

Oh My God this is amaaaaaazing, at first I was a little standosffish with the male main character cause of his past and all that but then as I got to know him and also got more interested in the story I realized how much I liked it and got to understand him more too. It’s also a spicy 🌶️ one so yeah i definitely recommend it!

Highly enjoyable read following two damaged individuals who need to learn how to navigate through their issues for love. Action packed and steamy!!

(Gripping, Steamy, and Unforgettable!)

Night Shift by Evie James and Craig Richards is an addictive, sizzling workplace romance with a perfect balance of suspense, steam, and emotional depth. From the very first page, I was hooked!

Atticus Thorin, a brooding, burned-out ER doctor nearing 40, has built walls around his heart. Enter Samantha Sheridan, a fiery, quick-witted nurse who challenges him from the moment they meet. The chemistry between these two is undeniable, and the tension is off the charts. But when Samantha’s past comes back to haunt her, Atticus’s protective instincts are triggered, forcing him to confront his own demons. Samantha is a force to be reckoned with—strong, independent, and unafraid to call out Atticus on his icy demeanor.

The romance is a slow burn, but the emotional payoff is huge. Atticus’s transformation from a cold, emotionally detached doctor to a man willing to break down his walls for Samantha is both heartbreaking and beautiful. The suspense keeps you on the edge of your seat, and the steamy chemistry between Atticus and Samantha will leave you breathless.

With a grumpy/sunshine dynamic, an age-gap romance, and plenty of heart-pounding moments, Night Shift is a must-read for fans of dark, emotional, and suspenseful romances. I couldn’t put it down and can’t wait for more in this series!

Hot hot hot! I love a good medical romance, and Night Shift delivers. Atticus and Samantha both desperately need therapy, but until such a day comes as they get it, their relationship rests on Atticus' need to control everything around him and Samantha's need to refuse to trust a living soul. However, they come out of it on top (and bottom) with spicy scenes and a love story to make readers swoon.

Like omg what those two people have been through I felt like I was with them in this book .fantastic read from start to finish a definite must download you will not be disappointed

What a great read, what nurse doesn’t like a great medical romance with suspense and some serious doctor loving. The mafia aspect made it even more intriguing. Can’t wait for the next one!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you for allowing me to review

Loved reading the amazing and awesome romance story. Atticus, the ER doctor, is known for only one night stands, but Samantha, an ER nurse, is someone Atticus would like to spend more time with. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, and a must read riveting love story.

Night Shift is an enticing medical romance that intertwines suspense with a dash of mafia intrigue. At its core is Atticus Thorin, a brooding senior ER doctor nearing 40 and grappling with burnout. His reputation for being an icy authoritarian doesn't deter the spirited young nurse, Samantha Sheridan, who brings a fiery wit to the department. Their initial clash leads to a magnetic connection, igniting both tension and desire. As Atticus attempts to maintain the unbreakable walls around his scarred heart, Samantha's sassy demeanor challenges his emotional detachment.

The stakes rise when Samantha's safety is jeopardized by the man who should have protected her, pulling Atticus into a deep-seated need to rescue her from the looming danger. This unexpected twist reveals layers of both characters, who are haunted by their pasts—Samantha by her father's sins and Atticus by his emotional scars. This age-gap romance captures the journey of healing and trust. Atticus and Samantha's relationship is fraught with challenges as they learn to lower their defenses and embrace vulnerability. The chemistry between them is palpable, enhanced by steamy encounters that will leave readers breathless. The medical backdrop is more than just a setting; it's a vital component of the narrative. It's an enjoyable escape into a world where love blossoms amidst chaos, making it a perfect pick for fans of spicy, age-gap romances. Highly recommended for those curious about the unexpected blend of medical and mafia themes!

Oh my goodness, the sassy side of our FMC is ridiculously amazing. I'm new to Evie James and Craig Richards' books, so I was going in blind for my first book for them and I'll tell you that I have zero regrets.

I'm a lover of character chemistry and to see a doctor who seems to be very rightfully stuck up and unable to communicate properly to the nurses surrounding him barraged by the sweet and sassy side of a brand new nurse to his hospital makes me *completely* content. I hate to say it like this, but it sounds, for all intents and purposes, as if he went through something deep before she got there and of course, that makes for a poor first impression when all he wants to do is shut people around him out and simply deal with the patients. (Not a bad thing for a doctor to focus, clearly, as they are saving lives. But it's also leaving his completely passing him by in the meantime, being so closed off.)

This is not your average "boy meets girl, they fall for each other and live happily ever after" type of romance. You will find darkness. You will find trauma (and I'm not just talking about emergency room scenarios). You will find laughter and tears, and each emotion in between if I'm being honest.

Grumpy man meets his match in the sweet, sassy younger woman, filling two tropes in one for me while the whole mafia ordeal fills a third, driving home my full love of this one and the prayer that there will be more of this story to come!

This was a spicy, romantic story with action and a bit of thrill mixed in. Atticus is a hardened ER doctor who doesn't do relationships. Samantha is a newly hired ER nurse with a touch of sass and a desire for a real home and friends and family. When they two meet the chemistry is off the charts. Life throws a lot of obstacles in their path to happiness in the form of Russian Mafias. When Sam's life is in danger, Atticus realizes what she means to him, but will he be too late? Overall, a great book. I loved Atticus' brothers, and the staff at the hospital. I thought Sam was a bit immature at times, but thought she handled herself well at the end. Great read for those looking for action with a side of steam.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Good book, I enjoyed the spice in it. I love the medical aspect of Night Shift, it added that extra layer to the story.

This book was different for me. I love mafia but the medical aspect was new. I loved both the MMC/FMC and the rawness of this book. Evie definitely hit the harder topics and really did it well.

Loved the book! I absolutely love the entire MAFIA romance/head over heels. The spicy sense of Danger and obsessive don’t touch what’s mine attitude made me fall in love.

The Night Shift by Evie James and Craig Richards is a chilling mystery that takes place in a haunted hospital. The story follows a group of night shift nurses who start experiencing strange and terrifying occurrences. The authors have a knack for building suspense and creating a truly spooky atmosphere. The hospital setting is both eerie and realistic, and the characters are well-developed and believable. I found myself constantly second-guessing everyone and everything, which made for a truly thrilling reading experience. If you're a fan of horror and mystery, I highly recommend The Night Shift. It's a perfect read for a spooky night in.

Night Shift by Evie James, Craig Richads is a perfect book for medical romance reader.

I’ll definitely need to read the next book about Thorin’s brother which are Braxton and Conan.

This was my first really “medical romance” and I liked it. It also was sort of romantic suspense mixed with mafia (not a straight up mafia book) so that made it an interesting read too.
Atticus is the grumpy older doctor in the emergency department and Samantha is the new, young nurse. She doesn’t put up with his grumpiness and dishes out replies to all his snark. But they are two broken people in need of each other to heal and find love.
You also meet his two brothers in this book and according to the end notes they have books as well.

Paging Dr Hottie! Dr Atticus Thorin, the senior ER doctor is about to meet his match in this medical romantic thriller!

Samantha is looking for a fresh start as she moved to a new city and started her nursing job on the night shift. She meets grumpy (and smoking hot) Dr Thorin during a shift and get ready for some banter and equally hot brothers!

This also has a mafia aspect, which I don’t read a lot of but dabble. These were a great mix that kept the read interesting and on the edge of the seat in anticipation!

I enjoyed Atticus and Sam’s banter and their journey opening up to one another. I also liked the info to the brothers and can’t wait to dive into their stories!

Thank you to author, Evie James, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book. I received an epub and am leaving my review voluntarily.
