'Doctor Dearest,' by RS Grey, is a standalone contemporary romance.
❤Cassie's Review❤
This author is well known for her rom coms, and while you still have the quirky, awkward, and hilarious inner monologue of the heroine, I would consider this book more of a contemporary romance. Believe me, there's definitely some laugh out loud moments, but there's also some very serious emotional ones too.
I loved how most of this book revolved around the hospital, and most importantly it felt like the author went into amazing detail regarding the procedures her characters were preforming.
Conner was definitely swoon worthy, definitely gives off a McDreamy vibe. Total book boyfriend material!
As always, RS Grey writes an amazing book, and I'm already looking forward to the next one she writes!
❤Ashley's Review❤
“Love isn’t simple. That’s a lie. Love is a fight. Love is a plight of the human condition. You either choose to suffer it, to feel it like a cancer inside you, or you give up and you walk away unscathed.”
‘Doctor Dearest’ is a bit of a departure from the brand of romantic comedy we’ve come to expect from R.S. Grey. While it’s not her typical fare, it’s a well-written, entertaining contemporary romance.
The story is about Natalie and her brother’s best friend, Connor, who are surgeons at the same hospital in Boston. They’ve harbored secret crushes on one another for years, and now they’re temporary roommates. Connor is done hiding his feelings, but can Natalie overcome her insecurities and give him more than one night?
This story was not what I expected, but I enjoyed it.

Favorite medical show? Funniest? Most realistic?
Cassie: Funniest - Scrubs, Most realistic - Good Doctor
Ashley: Favorite - Scrubs (I hear a lot of the scenarios are more realistic that we'd like to believe, too.)
❤Blurb❤
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 throws 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.
