A cute romantic suspense book for sure! Thankyou to the Author, the publisher and Netgalley for providing this wonderful ARC! Full RTC coming soon.

This book really took me by surprise with how much I like it.

As I said before in my other reviews, I like when books give u different timelines because you get to know and understand better why a character is the way that he is in the present.

The flashbacks of Tiffany’s past were what got me hooked and I did not expect to be this entertained.

If you like reverse grumpy/sunshine, with meaningful topics, some suspense and mistery and characters that are well developed and mature you should definitely read this.

P.S.: another thing that I find interesting about this is that the author and publisher offers 2 versions of this book (the open door/ closed door spice) so everybody gets to enjoy what option they like the most!

P.S. 2: as I fan of Grey's Anatomy, i really liked the medical part.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I feel like the first half of this book was incredible, but it kept adding aspects that I felt like should have been saved for a different story. It felt like everything needed to be rushed to get the entirety of the story aspects in.

This book really surprised me. I honestly wasn’t expecting too much from it- the title had me thinking it would be a pretty typical cheesy romcom. This book had so much more depth, development, and vulnerability than I imagined!

I really love romances that are dual POV. I feel like they really allow me to get to know the characters; their motivations, fears, and their relationships. Tiffany was super resilient and determined FMC- very buttoned up and by the book at first. As for Ethan, guys need to take notes from him. He was so patient and thoughtful- and we love a guy who knows how to communicate 👏🏼

Melissa Dymond hooked me from the start with her storytelling through alternating timelines between present day and the past, which culminate at the end for an exciting suspense-filled love story. I can’t wait to read more of her books in the future.

Book : Paging Dr. Hart
Author : @Marissadymondauthor
Genre : Romance
Published : 17 June

I picked up this book because of its cover, and the description mentioned a reverse grumpy and sunshine trope—one of my absolute favorites! 🌞💙

The story follows Ethan and Tiffany. Tiffany struggles with insecurities and is known as the "ice queen" at the hospital ❄️, while Ethan is passionate about radiology and trying to find his place in his family. The heart of the story is how Ethan helps Tiffany believe in love and companionship, and how they both fall in love with each other. 💕📚

The story begins when Ethan enters Tiffany's life at a time when, in her words, she was living a perfect life with her book boyfriends and a cat 🐾. Tiffany is a third-year resident in radiology, and Ethan is a transferred resident in the same hospital. They're forced to work closely together for a month, which allows them to really get to know each other. 🏥✨

As the story unfolds, the author also includes flashbacks to Tiffany's past, revealing how she's grown and what her previous life was like. She's tried to forget her past and start fresh, but what will happen when Ethan finds out about her past? The big question is whether Ethan will accept Tiffany's past and love her the same. And will her past affect her present? 🕰️❤️

I don't want to spoil anything, but there's also a fun involving Disneyland and Las Vegas that adds a unique flair to their journey! 🎢🎰

I loved this novel, though I found the first half a bit slow—maybe even very slow. At first, I struggled with story as it was different for me with some words , but the second half picked up the pace, with most of the content and plot developments happening there. 📚 The author did a great job blending past and present chapters, so even though there are two timelines, it's easy to follow.

I also enjoyed the quotes throughout the story, which were memorable and lovely. The language is simple and easy to understand, though there are some medical terms that were a bit tricky. Overall, it's a cute rom-com with a bit of suspense. 😍🔍

As for the characters, I loved Ethan from the start and gradually grew to like Tiffany as well. The side characters, though not central to the story, were also plain and simple, but with good characterization. I personally loved the story, especially the second half, which really gripped me. 📖💞

This isn’t just a story about Ethan and Tiffany—it’s about how our past doesn’t define our present. We can make mistakes, but if we learn from them and strive to make our lives better, we can. It also shows that love can come into your life at any time and from anywhere—you just have to be ready for it. 🌟 The author provides two perspectives on life: Ethan and Tiffany had very different childhoods—one stable, the other unstable—but both faced their own problems.

Overall, I loved this story and would recommend it to everyone. It’s not your typical medical rom-com; it also has elements of suspense and thriller. 📚💫

I read Holiday Star by this author earlier in the year and I thoroughly enjoyed it so I was happy to see this book come out. This romance has two amazing main characters both with complicated back stories. Tiffany is assigned to show Ethan around when he transfers to her hospital and their initial interactions are not the best and Ethan quickly hopes to solve that problem. They are both doctors with very different and compelling histories. As we learn more about each of them it was wonderful to see their professional and personal growth. Ethan is a perfect match for Tiffany as he breaks down her ice queen persona. I loved the hospital settings and there is also the forced proximity trope in use here. Another intriguing and enjoyable romance to add to your TBR.

I could put this book down. . . I wanted to keep reading and figure out the mystery of Tiffany’s past but I also wanted to watch her open up to Ethan. I loved discovering new things about them both. The story was put together so perfectly. I love how the story has a small simmer and how nothing is rushed between the two characters what made me want to keep reading more and more.

Teenage Tiffany was something else, I love the reason why she did everything she did, and it totally clicked why she was the way she was with Ethan. I can’t express how much I enjoyed reading this story - it was delightful, full of mystery, and had me addicted the entire time. I also really enjoyed the spicy version of this book. 100% recommend 🌶️😎😉

FAVORITE QUOTE: “I’ve fallen apart. Broken into pieces like a plate thrown at a wall.” - Tiffany 💔

weaves together a delightful and heartwarming tale of love, ambition, and the power of human connection set against the backdrop of a bustling hospital. This cozy romance between two dedicated doctors, not only explores their blossoming relationship but also provides insights into the challenges and triumphs of life in the medical field. Will suspenseful secrets from lives they lived before that keeps you curious and reading.
Does start off a little slow.

I loved the spicy, open door version of this novel! The author also writes a version of this book that is more clean. I’m sure that one is great too! An ice queen doctor meets an arrogant doctor, and it is a great enemies to lovers romance! Not only is there forced proximity, but the forced proximity takes place at Disney world!!

Paging Dr. Hart is the second book I have read by Melissa Dymond and I enjoyed it just as much as the first. She writes two versions, one clean and one spicey, so all readers can feel comfortable with her work. I love that her FMCs are intelligent, independent women. Paging Dr. Hart is a grumpy/ sunshine (she is the grumpy one), workplace romance where he falls first. It is also told on a dual timeline, going from present day to Dr. Tiffany Hart’s upbringing and troublesome past. It all merges together as Tiffany navigates her career, her relationships and someone blackmailing her.

I really enjoyed Paging Dr. Hart. I found both of the main characters very likeable—in fact I think the MMC, Ethan, gets all the green flags!! He's such an adorable guy and I loved his entire character. The FMC, Tiffany is a self-assured person with little character flaws. Everyone was insanely likeable, even the "villains" had me feeling for them! I knocked off one star because I felt like I was left with a lot of questions, which the author said will be answered in additional novels. But I would've loved to get the answers now personally instead of in another book. Overall, I loved it!

4🌟!

Paging Dr. Hart was a marvelous book to read. I absolutely loved the characters, they felt so real and human. They were captivating. Tiffany, with her heart of gold, has become one of my favorite Female Leads , and Ethan was the biggest green flag. They were so cute together and gave us a lot of heartwarming moments.

I was hooked from the first page, the only reason why it wasn’ a 5 stars for me was the moments in time chosen to tell the story. Let me explain.

I think that the dual timeline was nice to understand Tiffany’s story correctly, but I couldn’t help but feel that, even beautifully written, most of that part of the story could have been explained in the present with a trigger for those memories or conversations. Instead, it keeps the story going back and forth with no patron and the mix feels like breaking the story in tiny scenes that help to feel the time moving but creates difficulties to experience it at the same time because it’s constantly breaking the pace.

Also, I would have loved to have longer chapters. To read longer chapters that would include the short ones in the narration, I feel that it could have contributed better to the development between characters and of the story instead of developing it through brief scenes that helped with the time moving but kept the pace stopping abruptly.

In conclusion; it was a cute story, with real characters and I look forward to reading more from Dr. Melissa Dymond in the future. She is an amazing writer with a beautiful writing style that is so difficult to find nowadays. I highly recommended it,

Thank you NetGalley for an advanced e-copy, in exchange for an honest review.

This was a super cute and fun read! Love Ethan and Tiffany’s vibe together. Also a big Taylor Swift fan so the lyrics were fun to see! Thank you Netgalley for this ARC.

My first time dipping my toes into medical romance books, but I figure if I love Grey's Anatomy, I'll love this!
Enemies to lovers is always a win in my book and these two really start out as true rivals!
The duel timeline aspect was also fun when reading as it kept me on my toes!

This book kept me on my toes. The love and chemistry between the two characters was unbelievable!! I have read a lot of the medical romances, but this one was a knock out of the ball park!!

This book was a fun read, found the story to be interesting, especially with the added suspense in the book of Tiffany past. I loved the two main characters went from Enemies to Lovers, Ethan saved her and Ethan gave her safe space. Tiffany had a hard life, and I loved how she could overcome her past, better self. We all need to remember no matter how bad things are there is a rainbow, positive outcome.

This book was such a nice and pleasant surprise!
Being part of the health care system can make me extremely picky when reading medical romances (because they are sometimes completly innacurate)! This wasn't the case at all, on this one. It gives so many true concepts and experiences that it was nice to read. 
This, added to the addictive story we have ahead of us makes this book a good gem!

Tiffany is a stong, independent woman that had to toughen up when she was a child, and make several had and wrong choices. Regardless, she made it trough and is in her dream job, being a Radiology resident and she is thriving. When Ethan arrives and starts being a part of her reality as her rival she feels threatened and builds her wall way up high. What she doesn't expect is him being the complete opposite of what she imagined him to be. And she surely dosn't expect that by being the most sweet and caring man, starts to breack those walls, one by one. 
But as the walls crumble down she is afraid that he discovers her secrets and that she might loose him when the truth comes out. 

Since the beguining we have the book in Tiffany's POV, but the dual timeline allows us to really understand what she went through as a child/teenager and gives us insight on why she acts the way she does. It explains her fears and is added to the present story perfectly.

Even though the book has a true ending and an HEA, there are so many questions lingering in the air... I trully want to read the next ones in this world to learn those answers.

✨ 3.5/5 stars ✨

I requested this book because of the medical/doctor background, as I work in the medical field. It also interested me because the location of the story is near where I live, so I connected with that.
This was a fun and romantic read with thriller-ish aspects. There are flashbacks to childhood, of which the present day FMC is trying to bury. She does not want her history of catch up with her, but inevitably it does and she is forced to deal with it. I loved the tension between Tiffany (FMC) and Ethan. I feel like there are some loose ends that were not tied up at the end of the story, but there is an author’s note stating there fill be future books dealing with these plot lines. While there is a happy ending, there are several plot lines that are still unresolved. I also felt that the relationships could be better developed. It was a good read, but I don’t think it was outstanding to me.

Going into a book blindly, I sometimes recommend. I did not know what to expect when I saw the title of this book. At first, I expected it to be cheesy, not going to lie. However, I found myself connecting to the characters, I fell in love instantly with Ethan and Tiffany. They had such amazing chemistry throughout the book.I knew from the first couple chapters that I would be giggling throughout this book and it did not disappoint! 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.

Book Tropes:
