Thanks to NetGalley and Bella Books for the galley of this one.

It’s finally happening! My print reading slump is finally starting to fade. I finished this one up earlier in the week, and wow. What a steamy one to jump back in with.

All Elizabeth Samuels has to do to inherit 41 million dollars from her grandfather’s will is finish her medical residency and become a doctor at his family practice, but it’s everything “Sam” doesn’t want. If she quits the residency, the money will go to an anti-LGBTQ+ charity and Sam will be on her own. Terri Anderson has been burned by relationships with residents before, and despite her attraction to Sam, she’s determined to keep things professional. When the two become closer, and Sam wants to quit, Terri must help Sam to make a tough decision with a lot of money, and perhaps both of their futures on the line.

I really enjoyed this one. I do believe it’s my first Clevenger novel, an I held out for the audiobook, because Abby Craden. Who wouldn’t? Craden is my favorite narrator, and honestly I’d listen to her read the phone book. This one isn’t for the Hallmark crowd, for sure. It’s hot. There are some light BDSM elements, and I don’t necessarily recommend reading or listening while you’re doing work. It makes it hard to focus, but you know, in the best possible way.

I really loved Sam and her willingness to stand by her convictions. I identified with Terri’s background, and I wouldn’t be able to let someone I care about (or even someone I didn’t) walk away from 41 million dollars. I liked their relationship. The tension was good and even once it was broken, I was still invested in the story and wanted them to develop and grow together. It was a fun work distraction, and if you’re looking for some steamy sex, well look no further, my friend.

The best part is I’m so behind on my galleys, that this one is available now, so if sounds like your cup of tea, you can grab a copy RIGHT. NOW.
