The first novel in a sparkling and sexy new contemporary romance series about four best friends looking for love in all the right places—and the one woman who discovers that it takes more than an impeccable bedside manner to make dreams come true…
Lauren Hastings is finally ready to enter the real world. At twenty-six, she’s about to get her master’s in psychology, and she’s well on her way to beginning the career of her dreams—until she suffers public humiliation and has to endure something she thought she’d never have to deal with again: a part-time job.
A gig at Trinity Hospital isn’t exactly Lauren’s definition of a good time, but Dr. Scott Jacobs quickly changes her mind. He’s straight-up gorgeous, and he always gets what he wants. And that includes Lauren. It’s an ideal arrangement for both of them. No strings. Just fun—at least at first.
But feelings quickly begin to run deeper than either Lauren or Scott is willing to admit, causing issues neither of them want to confront. After all, who wants to risk the perfect relationship on something as terrifying, as messy, and as unpredictable as love?
Lauren Hastings is out having a good time when she gets arrested. Something happened that she couldn’t ignore and she handled herself the best she could. She’s part of a group of close friends that love to have fun when they are together. She’s also sassy, smart, and beautiful. I loved her banter and the way she carried herself throughout the book. Lauren is very passionate and goes after what she wants. In order to pay off the damage done to the bar she got arrested from, she takes a part time job at the medical practice her mom works at.
Dr. Scott Jacobs has his own practice that he inherited from his dad. His intelligence put him on the fast track to becoming a young doctor, but in the office he’s very professional. Outside, he doesn’t want to settle down. He wants to have fun with no commitment. When he meets Lauren he knows he just has to have her. Scott is sexy and can get any woman he wants.
When these two come together it’s seriously hot. But can two people just have fun with no strings? What if what they have develops into more?
I loved the build-up to the end. The way they meshed, the way they joked with one another, it all flowed really well. I felt a connection with the characters and loved getting both POVs. I was very happy with the way the story ended. I’m looking forward to book two. – Reviewed by Michelle Dare
