Paging Dr. Hart is such a fun and interesting read. It will keep you hooked. Tiffany Hart is the main female character in this book, and there are two timelines throughout the story. The present, where she is working as a radiology resident in Ohio, and then the other timeline is in the past when she was living in Las Vegas as a teenager. And the male main character, Ethan, is such a good guy. I loved the main characters so much, and I loved watching their relationship continue to grow.

The past timeline includes a lot of suspense, and I loved how it was all able to connect with the present timeline. I have never read anything like this before, where there is romance and suspense, but it was so good.

The only part that I didn’t like was that some things were confusing. Like how did Ethan just appear at the Starlight out of the blue? I don’t think there would’ve been enough time to figure out where she went and book a flight and get to her in time. And another thing was that although I liked how the epilogue brought in more suspense, I think it’s strange that Rafe would’ve gone all the way there just for that. That is something that they could’ve talked about at the Starlight.

I cannot wait to read future books by Dr. Melissa Dymond, especially the ones that will be a part of this series. I think there is a lot of potential for some great stories within this world.

I highly recommend reading this book! It is to be published on 6/17/24 (which is tomorrow as I’m writing this) so please go read this!

Thank you Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for providing me with this eARC in exchange for an honest review!

Tiffany has worked against many odds
to lead herself to the position in radiology that she now holds. She was in a stabile position in life. That is until Ethan arrived at the hospital distrusting her daily life! Ethan was coming into the radiology program with medical reality on his side. Tiffany would be forced to train Ethan even though she could not stand his golden spoon vibes. When they were forced to share an apartment for work would they be able to get along? And would Tiffany's troubled past come back to haunt her?

“You’re no ice queen. You’re pure fire.”

Oh my goodness, this book had my heart racing! Dr. Dymond knows how to write not only a phenomenal medical romance but add a bit of suspense and this book was absolutely amazing. I’ve loved her work since Holiday Star was written, and I’m so thankful to have been given an ARC of her newest book by NetGalley.

You NEED to add Paging Dr Hart to your TBR. Dr. Dymond was incredibly thoughtful of her readers needs and created two different versions — one clean/closed door and the other steamy and spicy.

The plot itself will have you on the edge of your seat. Your heart will break for Tiffany but you will cheer her on as you watch her grow up and slowly soften toward the ever patient Ethan. If you love romantic suspense and have an obsession with Greys Anatomy, this book is for you!

🌿 forced proximity
🌿 closed door romantic suspense
🌿 he falls first
🌿 reverse grumpy x sunshine
🌿 rivals to more
🌿 slow burn

Paging Dr. Hart was hyped as a medical romance with suspense yet the cover presents as a rom-com. Although I’m usually quick to pick up a thriller/suspense or a rom-com as my preferred genre, this book was a miss for me. The dual timeline with flashbacks to the past, held my attention much better than the present-day storyline with its pages of travel guide style description of Disney World and corny nicknames like Tiffy. I did like how the author offered bonus content on her website with different character POV of events. But in all honesty, I wanted to like this book more than I actually liked this book.

*I received an advance reader copy of this book from NetGalley. This is my honest review.

Tiffany Hart is let's say, a very serious doctor. She's worked hard to achieve her goals and forget her past at the cost of not having any kind of relationships, but everything might change when she meets Dr. Ethan Clark. She might open up to people again, but will her past come back to hunt her down?
A lot of fun to read, it has romance, some drama and a bit of mistery. This is a book you will definetely enjoy and have a great time reading it.

Paging Dr Hart - Dr Melissa Dymond

Rating - ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Spice - 🌶️🌶️

I am a big romance fan so this book sounded right up might street.

I loved the enemies to lovers, forced proximity vibes this book was giving off as well as the banter between the two main characters and the mystery element. The medical side of the book was really cool and incredibly accurate - especially as I spend a lot of time in the medical setting (and have had a lot of experience in radiology as a patient)

I did enjoy this book, however I felt a bit lost in terms of the plot at points, it seemed a bit fast in places and I felt as if the language used at some points (I.e past chapters during childhood) felt a bit mature for the characters ages. I also felt like the use of ‘U and UR’ during the text messages seemed a bit out of place.

I did however really enjoy the characters - especially the golden retriever energy Ethan is giving off.

One thing I did not like was the QR code in the middle of the book - I feel like that would have been better placed at the end of the book.

I would recommend this book if you’re looking for a lighthearted romance and an easy read.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to read and review this book. Thank you NetGalley!

Sweet hospital-scene romance. Back story offers compassionate look at a girl orphaned just on the cusp of adulthood in Vegas. Medical dialog sometimes a little stilted (because surely a doctor wouldn’t need to spell out to another doctor what peristaltic movement is… so the explanation lands up breaking the fourth wall for the reader because you’re aware she put that detail in *for you*, dear reader.) but I enjoyed it. Ethan is a total cinnamon roll - too good to be true.

The storyline itself is probably really good, but the way it is written and the childish behaviour… I cannot read past that.
How is she angry with him if he doesn’t text/call after their time living together in that hospital…
If she wants to speak to him, she can text or call first. It’s childish which I just didn’t expect.
Sad to say I DNF’ed at 40%

4.5 /5

I absolutely loved this book. It was my first medical romance so I didn’t know what to expect. It had everything I like in a romance book, spice, swoon, dark past, laughs and tears and insta love (at least from Ethan’s part).

I love how the timeline was written, bringing us back and forth in Tiffany’s story from her being a young child to where she is now, but also leaving us with suspense about things until towards the end. Which is why I’ve flown through this book: I needed to know!

I’m hooked on Dr. Melissa Dymond’s writing and I will keep reading books from her! Also I didn’t know it was such a long process going through medical school to become a doctor!

This book had everything going for it, interesting dual timeline, with some moments of suspense. Ethan is such a green flag especially navigating Tiffany’s past. A nice slow burn that kept me turning the page for more! I would’ve given this 5 stars but felt like I wanted a little
Bit more out of the ending but was excited to learn she plans of revisiting this world and Tiffany’s past/upbringing.

2 star read for me - liked didn't love. It was interesting to hear about Tiffany's past and to see how she soften as time when on with Ethan. The Disney/conference part was fun to see Ethan and Tiffany in their element. .Overall, the plot was fine but the story ended up not being for me.

Always thankful to read a book before it's published so thank you to Victory Editing and NetGalley for the ARC!

I loved that even though it was slow burn, there was still so much tension. There was also spice, but not too much! The quotes I pulled from this book are so perfect, I love Tiffany and Ethan so much.
I absolutely loved the two timelines going on with Tiffany’s present and her past. It added so much to the story and made it so interesting!

Tiffany is a radiologist who is asked to interview a new resident. This resident makes a bad first when Tiffany is presenting. Ethan is a resident who wants to escape to new hospital. This both is a dual pov from young Tiffany to current day Tiffany. As well as being a forced proximity romance. This book had some moments of suspense. It was nice to read a different type of romance to my normal book choices.

Dr. Ethan Clark is on a mission to thaw the icy exterior of his fellow radiology resident, Dr. Tiffany Hart. He’s a people-pleaser to the core and just wants her to feel safe and she has a secret, mysterious past preventing her from falling for him. Their story is told in dual-point-of-view with a timeline of present and past and is way more than a workplace, medical rom-com…I was pleasantly surprised by the added suspense and intrigue to the plot line when Tiffany’s past collides with her present. (Also, there is fantastic dialogue/banter between the two main characters…”You’re no ice-Queen, you’re pure fire” is just so perfect!) I appreciate that the author offers two versions of this book: a closed-door and slow-burn with some spice.
4.25 stars

I was pleasantly surprised by this book, and I’ve come to realise I like suspense in my romance stories.

If you like a slow burn with forced proximity, reverse grumpy/sunshine and dual timelines this book is for you.

The build up between Tiffany and Ethan is gradual as they are forced to spend time together due to their work commitments. It’s during these times they learn about each other’s fears and vulnerabilities.

Both characters were well developed, and I enjoyed the dual timeline between the present and Tiffany’s past. As I got closer to the end of the book I wanted to stay longer in the past as the suspense was killing me to find out what happened.

The book does end on a satisfying note but does have a few loose ends which I believe will be explored in future books.

Overall, this is a sweet story, with a golden retriever MMC (who also has a black belt in karate) who proves to the MFC that it’s okay to trust and let people in.

Thank you to Netgalley and Victory Editing for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

This is my 2nd book of Melissa's that I have read. I loved the idea of having a story based around the life of medical Drs and having the medical lingo in the book 100% accurate. However I found it extremely hard to get into the story. The connection between the FMC, Tiffy and the MMC Ethan really seemed forced. That spark that readers are looking for between the pages within the characters is missing. I read the open door/spicy version of the book but the spi e level is probably only a 2/5 and would not be considered a spicy book to me. Overall I gave this a 3 star because the story was ok but the characters connections feel flat for me.
Thanks you NetGalley for the eARC.

I was so excited to read this book because I work with resident physicians for a living and it didn't disappoint. I love the characters and the plot. The story flowed well even though at times I felt it was a tad too long.
I would definitely read more by this author.

This review is of the spicy/open-door version of Paging Dr. Hart. I loved it! It was so well written and it flowed along so smoothly. I loved the language and vocabulary used, new terms and expressions for things I hadn’t seen before with none of the cliched terms or sentiments being used. A few times I laughed at the sheer sass of Tiffany and her cutting wit. I firmly believe in Ethan’s hypothesis of the second dessert stomach and have always known that was the case! The name of a second feline in the book is a nickname my husband and I have used for each other for years, also replacing the ‘anni’ in anniversary with that name so I laughed out loud at that! The unknown/mystery element of it was sprinkled throughout, with the only clues being glimpses of Tiffany’s past alongside the present, slowly letting us into the fold of her past. Superbly written, great storyline and characters - I really enjoyed it. Now I’m going back through to look for 10 things to win a prize! Binge-worthy read, couldn’t wait to get the kids to bed so I could keep reading!

Holy moly, I love this book!!!! Thank you so much for this arc NetGalley!!

The suspense, the romance, the way he falls so hard first. I am obsessed

Read if you love
🌷 dual timeline
🌷 he falls first & hard
🌷 forced proximity
🌷 both doctors
🌷 suspense/mystery
🌷 no third act breakup

Romance, suspense, education nerd, Disney…I was hooked from the start! Tiffany’s character was hard not to relate to, to sympathize with. And Evan, how could you not fall in love with Evan. From the moment he was introduced I couldn’t help but root for him and the hopeful love connection with Tiffany.

This book leaves you wanting to know more of the story and I cannot wait for Dymond to write the next one.
