Doctor Dearest by R.S. Grey
4.0
Reviewed on: Ashes Books & Bobs.
R.S. Grey has a formula nailed down for her books and I AM HERE FOR IT. With each book, I'm nervous it will be the one that might not work for me and that, thankfully, just doesn't happen. There's something about her writing that immediately captures me from the first page and keeps me coming back for more. I'm continually amazed by her ability to tell these seemingly simple romances that feel like the well-worn ROM-COM DVDs we can't help but adore.
I especially loved being able to see the research R.S. Grey did on burn doctors for Doctor Dearest. I was able to learn numerous things I didn't know, all while enjoying a swoon-worthy Romance. Normally workplace romances are quite surface level, without much information woven into the story about the characters' careers, but this book allowed me to sink into it as if I had knowledge about their professions, too. I enjoyed the atmosphere the research crafted!
I can't help but love a brother's-best-friend romance as well. These stories create the angsty, forbidden dynamic that makes for fun reading. I couldn't wait to see how things might unfold between Natalie and Conner, and who might let their feelings be known first. The push and pull between these two was absolutely delicious.
This was very nearly a five-star read for me. My only complaints revolved around Natalie getting a little nutty at the end of the story and the characters' inability to declare their love for one another. I struggle with characters keeping their feelings under lock and key because it makes the relationship feel like a glorified friendship. I want to feel the love too!
As always, this was the perfect in-between read, with plenty of sweet moments and good feelings. I'm excited to see what R.S. Grey has next for us - I guarantee I'll be ready to read whatever it might be!
