Doctor Dearest

If you’re ever having a bad day or you’re in a dreaded reading slump, take my advice and just pick up a book by RS Grey.

I guarantee you’ll have a smile on your face in no time.  She just knows how to write heartwarming stories with loads of witty banter, quirky characters, and swoony sweetness.  

Doctor Dearest has the added benefit of well-researched hospital scenes, a brother’s best friend trope, and a bit of unrequited/star-crossed lovers thrown in the mix.

Doctor Dearest Summary

Natalie was raised by the “you don’t need a man” mantra, so she has never had a real long-term relationship.  She’s been married to medicine for most of her adult life and she’s darn good at it, but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t had her eye on someone. 

Connor is an attending at the hospital in the burn unit with Natalie and because of that and the fact that he is her brother’s best friend, they have been tiptoeing around one another for years. Neither wants to let the other know their true feelings. 

Connor seems like too much of a good thing and completely unattainable for Natalie.  For all of her smarts, though, she sure has a stubborn streak and has some deep-seated trust issues.

Brother’s Best Friend Doctor Romance 

When Natalie and Connor finally get together, that’s where the magic happens.  Connor’s inner monologue and dialogue with Natalie is funny, yes, but it is also wise, insightful, and downright swoon-worthy. 

There is plenty of drama, back and forth feelings, and heartwarming scenes to keep you satisfied and turning the pages until the end.

Doctor Dearest isn’t quite as light and fluffy’ as Grey’s previous works, like say her last release, His Royal Highness (I mean, these are burn unit doctors, after all).  There is a bit of somberness and a heavier feeling to this one, so don’t expect to laugh through every chapter. 

Fans of Grey’s Anatomy will like the hospital patients, the doctor drama, and the McDreamy feeling to Connor, the doctor who is good at everything he does. 

I’m really curious to see what Grey comes up with next, but I know I’ll be right here waiting for when it arrives!
