Egotistical Jerk
A Hero Club Novel
By: A.K. MacBride, Hero Club
Narrated by: Gregory Salinas, Summer Roberts

AK MacBride is a new author to me and so glad I got to listen to this story of hers! Egotistical Jerk is exactly the right description of Dr Sebastian Ryker. One of the the top diagnostic doctors in the country, Mia picked this hospital to learn from him. But from the first day, he treats her different than all the other doctors, and on thing she knows is she isn't going to take it. From there we get the slow burn romance of these two. But we don't only get witty banter and a passion worth the wait. MacBride weaves in the realism of hospital life. Getting to know patients, and the emotional turmoil it can create is front and center, giving us all the feels. You can feel the ups when its a good day and the unbearable grief of the bad. I love her writing style and can't wait to see what else she has out in audio.

Narrated by Summer Roberts and Gregory Salinas, I knew I was in for a treat. Roberts is fantastic, always in tune with her characters and she portrays Mia exactly as I envision. Salinas masterfully becomes Sebastian, keeping the gruffness up all while having that slow burn beginning to flame. And he also has an amazing English accent for Sebastian's best friend! It's a great listen with an incredible team.
