Paging Dr. Hart - Spicy by Melissa Dymond
5.0
I was hooked to the book from the first chapter. This book had a bit of everything. I really liked the dual timeline here where we get to see how Tiffany grew up and what were the situations and circumstances that led to her keeping her guard up all the time. And given her past - her struggles, losses and betrayals, it makes sense for her to not let people in so she doesn't get hurt again. It helped us understand her character better.
The suspense aspect was really well done and I was so eager to find out what truly happened in the past that's come back to haunt her in the present. What was she running away from and why does she need to hide it from Ethan? I kept trying to figure out what could've happened and who could've done what the whole time. That plot slowly unravels over the years of the past chapters.
Tiffany has definitely been through a lot in life and seen a lot of hardships in life but she has worked her ass off to get out of the life she had and to work towards the life she wanted to lead. But her past is also the reason why she doesn't let anyone in. The character development was good, where we see Tiffany's inner conflicts about wanting to feel connections again but also holding herself back from being hurt again and how she slowly comes to terms with her past, the loss, grief, guilt, betrayal, in order to stop trying to sabotage her own happiness.
Absolutely loved Ethan and how patient, understanding and thoughtful he was. How he paid attention to everything Tiffany did and memorized her likes and dislikes. He put up with her when she lashed out at him in order to keep him at a distance but he was unperturbed and relentless in trying to win her over and communicated what he wanted clearly. He never stopped trying with Tiffany and he didn't hide how he felt about her either. We get a good understanding of Ethan's character as well. His past, his upbringing, his insecurities and his dreams. He was the greenest flag.
Their relationship went from terrible first meeting to slowly getting used to being around each other to friendship to more. Ethan slowly but surely wore Tiffany down and made her bring down her walls.
This had a perfect balance of romance and suspense and I absolutely loved it.
Loved the TS references throughout the book. I also like that the author made two versions, one with the spicy scenes and one with a closed door version so everyone can enjoy this story at their own comfort.
I did have a few questions towards the ending but I guess that will be covered more in the next books in the series as the author mentions that it will be a series of interconnected standalones. I am eager to know who the next books will be about. Also waiting to see if there will be a book for a certain character that I don't know if I hate or love yet.
