Doctor Dearest by R.S. Grey
Synopsis
Natalie
Dr. Easton is part man, part myth.
He’s a formidable surgeon. Highly respected in his field.
He also happens to be an ex-collegiate quarterback with a classically handsome face.
Are you catching on yet?
He’s horrible.
Beautiful.
A walking Ralph Lauren ad.
He’s also so off limits he should come with a warning label: This way lies heartache.
Not only is he an attending at the hospital where I’m training, he’s also my brother’s best friend. If you’ve lost count, that’s two reasons why I plan on putting this ridiculous crush behind me. Besides, it’s definitely not mutual.
Dr. Easton has never once paid me special attention. No tempting smirks. Not even one subtle innuendo. To him, I’m just another resident—all but invisible.
Connor
For the last five years, I’ve mentored Natalie in the OR, stayed in line, and kept my hands to myself, but it’s been agonizing.
Natalie is trouble in scrubs. A walking temptation I’ve been forced to ignore.
For so long, I’ve wanted her in silence. By the time fate finally gets around to throwing me a bone, my patience has run out.
Natalie’s brother is leaving town, and he wants me to watch over her while he’s gone.
He has no idea how I feel about her.
Neither does she.
But she will.
Haven’t you heard good things come to those who wait, Natalie?
Well… I’ve done my waiting.
I know I’ve said this before, but here it is again:
R. S. Grey is the rom-com queen!
This time, we’re met with two doctors who are both exceptional in their field. Natalie is a new fellow in a burn unit in Boston. She spent her residency under Dr. Connor Easton, whose knowledge and work ethic Natalie has always admired--along with his looks. Besides being a work colleague, Connor is also Natalie’s brother’s best friend, which means he has never given her the time of day. In fact, it’s worse. He nearly goes out of his way NOT to give her any attention.
Natalie has just celebrated the end of her residency--which Connor surprised her by attending the ceremony--when her brother has to leave town for a few months. She lives in the guest house in his backyard. It just so happens that Connor needs a place to stay while there are renovations done on his place.
As Natalie and Connor are forced into close quarters, their patience and self-control are tested. With her brother out of the picture for a while, they both quickly find that there is an undeniable chemistry between them. Unfortunately, around every turn there happens to be some sort of misunderstanding.
Unlike R.S. Grey’s books I’ve read in the past, this one was surprisingly emotional, and I ate up every word, devouring this book in less than twenty-four hours. Needless to say, she’s done it once again by giving me yet another set of characters to love, and another book to cherish.
If you’re looking for a new rom-com to devour, I highly suggest picking up DOCTOR DEAREST immediately!
