Doctor Heartless
by J. Saman
Love romances with doctors as the central characters and this series has so many…
Doctor Heartless is the second chance story of history teacher Ellery Wilde and Dr Landon Fritz.
Warning: Characters from previous books in the series appear in this one.
Synopsis:
Elle is stuck in an unhappy marriage, and she has had enough of feeling like a dead person. The story starts six months after the prologue, with Dr Landon Fritz looking to score a date. He’s thirty-three, already loved and lost, and not looking for anything meaningful. He has a thirteen-year-old daughter, Stella, who is the light of his life.
Review:
Narrated from the first person dual perspective, Doctor Heartless is Landon and Elle’s story, the former often being mistaken for his playboy twin and the latter trying to move on with her life. Set in Boston, we have already been introduced to the Abbot-Fritz family in the previous books, who are one of the richest and most influential families in Boston.
Ellery Wilde is twenty-seven and needs to live life on her own terms after her recent divorce. Starting off in a new town is not easy, especially when she has to teach the new class “sex education” apart from US and World history. More so, when she realises the guy she slept with is the parent of one of her students!
Stella, Landon’s daughter, is a sweetheart, who just wants to have a meaningful connection with their new neighbour, especially because she had the same with the old one, her nanny. It was wonderful to see Stella and Elle bond over shared interests and funny to see Landon being jealous about why Elle isn’t there for him like that.
Reading about Elle and Landon’s home’s positioning reminded me of this Bollywood song Mere saamne waali khidki mein… The number of coincidences in this book was one too many but they made the story all the better with how they were linked.
As usual, this series and the Abbot-Fritz family at its heart make you wish that it were your own. But it says something that even with a loving and supportive family, you have to fight your own demons and that is what plagues Landon, his past and his unwillingness to move on with life since his wife’s death years ago.
But, once Landon becomes accepting of his reality, and starts letting in Elle, Doctor Heartless is full of heart and sexy and goes all out for his lady love.
The story concludes with a perfect epilogue. And there’s an introduction to Luca Fritz and Raven Fairchild, the protagonists of the next in the series, Doctor Playboy.
P.S. I want to share the following lines from the Author’s Note at the end.
Thank you to Grey’s Promo for an e-ARC of the book.

My reasons, my life, my choices are my own, and I’ll be damned if I let anyone here make me feel bad about them.

When I first started this series, I knew Landon’s was going to be a heartbreaking story. Grief and guilt are funny things. They’re clingy and needy and wreak havoc. A lot of this story I felt was about healing and forgiveness. Not just for ourselves, but for others.
