Dr. Intern by Lexie Woods
medium-paced
4.0
Dr. Intern is the second book in the Midtown Memorial series following the staff/friends at an Atlanta hospital.
Beau is an orthopedic surgery intern and the best friend of Parker, the hero from Dr. Resident. Claire is Parker's sister. In Dr. Resident, we learned that Claire's mother had cancer, which led to her death early on in this book. Claire was her caregiver in the end stages so her mother's death hit her the hardest. Prior to this, Claire and Beau had a one night stand and don't see or realize who the other is until the funeral. Claire is spiraling, and Beau needs a place to stay so Parker asks him to move into the spare room in his old condo to keep an eye on Claire. Of course, this only leads them to dancing around their chemistry until they pick up where their one night stand left off.
This author's books feel like Grey's Anatomy, in that the sex and light drama is fun to read. The friend group is supportive of each other, but also the author uses her background as a nurse to ensure that the hospital setting and the characters' jobs feel realistic. I'm a sucker for an author doing their research!
I will say I wanted to throw my Kindle across the room with the way the book ended because I flipped the page expecting more, but it is clearly a cliffhanger and reintroduction to an old character that we won't learn more about until the next book!
