About the Book
DR. DYLAN WEST is a highly motivated medical resident who is determined to secure a coveted spot in a new, exclusive medical fellowship that specializes in LGBTQ+ medicine. She strives to win every award and honor to make her application stand out. When she doesn’t win the Intern of the Year award, given to the most promising first year resident, she quickly develops a chip on her shoulder. The award went to another resident, DR. QUINCY PARKER III. To Dylan, it appears that Quinn oozes privilege and wealth, making everything come easily to him. Even though Dylan lost the Intern of the Year award to him, she plans to win the honor of chief resident and boost her chances of securing a fellowship spot.
Quinn Parker is a third-generation doctor but somehow still disappoints his parents with his pedestrian goal of becoming a cardiologist. A more elite and lucrative specialty would have been preferred. The competition for a spot in cardiology is fierce, and Quinn knows that securing the chief resident role will make his application for cardiology fellowship more desirable.
They are both shocked when they are asked to plan the annual wellness retreat…together. Will they be able to set aside their differences long enough to complete the task? Surprisingly yes, and with plenty of spice along the way. But what will happen at the end of the year, when only one can be chief resident?
My Review
I really enjoyed this book. It contains so many of the tropes I love: enemies to lovers, witty banter, cinnamon roll MMC, forced proximity, he falls first, and dual POV just to name a few. It is self described as a slow burn, but for me it felt like a fast paced slow burn without it going to insta love. I know that sounds really weird, but the slow burn was SO good. The authors also skipped a lot of the time they spent apart due to their careers, so that you can tell that time had passed, but didn’t bore us with the details. I appreciated that so much.
I love medical dramas/romances, so this book was perfect for me! I enjoyed Dylan – she stood her ground at first, she didn’t want to be swayed, but she had no problem admitting when she was wrong and apologizing. Quinn, oh Quinn. While some of his dialogue regarding his feelings felt a little immature at times, I appreciated the sentiment. I love when a guy falls first and does anything to get the girl. The feelings between these two were palpable.
While Quinn wants to go into cardiology, Dylan wants to help those in the LGBTQIA+ community. I really enjoyed that aspect of the book and wish we got a little more about her sister. But maybe her sister can get her own book!
There are some spicy scenes in here as well, so if you like that, then this book is for you!
This is a must read for romance lovers.
