Blurb: Diagnosis: career chaos…
Doctor Chloe Henry is a no-nonsense surgeon gunning for a promotion. All that stands in her way is her smug colleague, Doctor Johnathan Carson, who’s beloved by the board for his charm and for simply being a man. When a one-week medical conference promises her a chance to shine, Chloe packs her power suits and determination, ready to crush it—or at least avoid strangling Carson.
Take once a day…
Enter Logan Broderick, aka Doctor Dante Love, TV’s hottest (and most medically inaccurate) neurosurgeon-slash-plastic-surgeon. After yet another scandal involving booze, starlets, and bad decisions, Logan’s sent to the same hotel to lay low. But things go awry when Logan and Chloe literally crash into each other—half-naked—in her bathroom. Cue viral chaos.
Prescription: Romance!
To save face, Logan proposes they fake-date. She’s the real doctor to his fake one; he’s the PR boost she didn’t want. But as bickering turns to banter and sparks fly, Chloe wonders: can Dante Love save her?
Review: Oh, how I love a fake-dating story, especially when it’s done as well as this one! The banter is off-the-scale funny and, as the fake turns real, hot. However, under the froth is warmth and emotional depth that elevates it to 5 stars.
I adored the FMC. Chloe is smart, fierce, and ambitious, yet really sweet and caring. Then MMC Logan is a gorgeous actor who’s truth is very different from what the media likes to portray. They’re determined to paint him as a bad bay, so when paps catch him and Chloe half naked, he proposes the fake relationship.
I half expected an insta-love situation, but was happy to be proven wrong. Dating Dr Love is heart-felt and the burn is slow without being frustrating. I really saw how the characters connected and felt that their love story was epic enough to last forever.
Just the sort of HEA that I love.
