Thank you to netgalley and Dr. Melissa Dymond for this ARC.
I appreciated every aspect of this story. It was deeper than just a romance between two people; there was a very well thought-out subplot. I adored both of the main characters and related to their struggles. Every plot felt so real, including poverty, never reaching your family's expectations, forgiveness, success comes from sacrifice, and grieving the ones you love. Dymond knows how to balance romance and serious suspense. The writing format was so easy to read and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
6 star rating
The only word to describe this book is perfection. Added to my top reads of the year. This book is my new personality.

“Over the years, I’ve learned that trying to use words as comfort at these times turns into an argument. It’s like she believes sympathy is an attack on her sadness. Like it’s a way of saying she has overreacted.”

I’ve seen this book all over Instagram, and it only fueled my curiosity to pick it up. I’m really excited to dive into it because I enjoy doctor romances—though, to be honest, I have no medical knowledge myself. What draws me in is how these stories blend intelligence with the usual heartwarming feelings. However, this book didn’t quite meet my expectations.

Rather than being a true doctor romance, the characters just happened to be doctors. The story focused heavily on the female lead, Tiffany, and her “traumatic” past, while Ethan’s story felt sidelined. I would have loved to see more of his perspective to better understand his character, but I found that lacking in the book.

The book was an easy, laid-back read, touching on romance and the emotional connection between the leads. But I was left wanting more—more depth, more answers. I couldn’t shake the feeling that Ethan had some connection to Tiffany’s past, and I was eagerly awaiting a big climactic moment that never fully materialized. Despite this, I might still check out the other books in the series because I’m curious about her mother’s journey.

I want to thank NetGalley and Victory Editing for providing me with this ARC.


Tiffany is training to be a radiologist. In a presentation, she is corrected by a man in the audience. Dr Washburn, her boss, asks her to interview someone for a first-year radiology position. Tiffany, finds to her irritation that it is the same guy who questioned her in the presentation - Ethan Clark. He is from Cleveland, and his parents are doctors. Their professional interaction kicks off on the wrong foot. Ethan is very good looking, talkative and charming; and he finds Tiffany’s aloof attitude (a few refer to her as “ice queen” behind her back) to be fascinating. Tiffany receives some text and images from an unknown number alluding to her past, which she finds disturbing.

I liked the backstories for both Tiffany and Ethan. The characters are well developed., and I enjoyed the dynamic between them. The later part of the story is predictable and a couple of threads are quite needlessly left open.

The writing style plows well enough and doesn't feel too stagnant at any given time. There were times where the dialogue became kind of out of place with the characters' personalities, but it wasn't very noticeable in the overall feel of the characters.

I very much appreciated the list of triggers at the beginning of the book and feel that this benefits a lot of readers.

Overall, a 3.75 Stars, this is a nice light read for the most part, which I enjoyed.

This book was a great read. I just absolutely adored the characters. I’m definitely a fan of Melissa Damond’s work and look forward to more of her books. The whole reverse grumpy-sunshine with forced proximity was great. Will definitely be adding the physical copy to my shelf!

Dr. Tiffany Heart is known for being upright immune to the charms of men until Dr. Ethan Clark comes into her life. He is able to take down her walls and get her to open up about her past. A suspenseful workplace romance that will make you swoon!

Paging Dr. Hart was a wild ride! The dual timeline kept me guessing, and I loved piecing together Tiffany's past. The twist knocked me on my butt - I definitely didn't see that coming! The romance between Tiffany and Ethan was sweet, but the suspenseful plot really stole the show. It's not your typical medical romance, that's for sure. Thanks to Melissa Dymond for a thrilling read and to NetGalley for the ARC!

Ohh boy. Ethan and Tiffany, where do I even start. I don’t think Ethan can have a red flag tied to him at all. Ethan comes in and changes Tiffany’s world. She went from stressed at work and ready for the light at the end of the tunnel to in love and opening up. Ethan is a sweetheart. I love the small Taylor swift references. This reminds me a little of the show Private Practice.

Melissa you had me hooked. This was a great read. This was my first book form Melissa and I am excited to see what she has for us next.
⁣⁣⁣⁣
I would highly recommend this as your next read!

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC.

I am currently dealing with a lot of medical things in my personal life and for that reason I haven't been reading a lot of medical stories.
But this grumpy/sunshine got me as I love a good grumpy/sunshine story. The relationship between Tiffany and Ethan was good, I enjoyed the development of their rivals to lovers trope.
There were times I was becoming disengaged, but I think that was only a personal thing due to my circumstance.
All in all, This was a good, fun read :)

There was a lot going on in this book. At first I really liked it then the subplots made me lose interest but enjoyed reading it. Thanks for the free copy NetGalley!

Really enjoyed this story and all it's characters and twist and turns. As a retired nurse it brought back lots of laughs a and emotions along the way.

Loved this book! Had the perfect mix of comedy, romance, and suspense. You learned about Tiffany and how she became who she is by glances at the past and the past coming to haunt her. I fell in love with the characters Tiffy and Ethan and can't wait to read more of their stories!

2.5/5 stars

This book had a lot going on. It was very Wattpaddy however I was invested in the main character's relationship. The characters past was a little to unbelievable to me. And the specific ending scene did not make sense to me towards the story other then to set up a sequel. I will say I do want to know more about what they were talking about and liked that mystery more then the plot of the books mystery. It had a lot of great ideas that I wish would have been done a little better. I felt like we harped on the wrong traumatic event. Like she say something traumatic but we were more stuck on her like minor actions and she really did not do much. That all being said I want to know about her father so will probably be on the look out for the book about her parents. Also the random Disney plot was also odd to me. If you are like me and were a Wattpad girly I do recommend cause i def took be back to that time lol. If not, its most likely not for you.

Dr. Tiffany Hart’s Ice Queen facade hides a dark past. Dr. Ethan Clark is running from his family legacy and trying to form his own path. When Tiffany is assigned to train Ethan, sparks fly and the pair get closer and closer.

Rating 4/5 ⭐️s - Rom com with a touch of suspense. I loved being in with Tiffany and Ethan during their various trips. (Can I go to Disney World for a conference? How about Tiffany’s hometown - I love that place!) It made me miss traveling so much. Watching these two get closer was endearing.

Spice Rating 3/5 🌶️s - A couple of open door spicy scenes. Felt a bit tame but I can appreciate it. If you’re not into spice, there’s a sweet version which is pretty cool.

Thank you Dr. Melissa Dymond and NetGalley for this fantastic medical romance.

This cutesy cover really fooled me!
I read this authors previous book the holiday star and wasn’t sure what to expect with this one.
This book has it all - a little suspense,spice and romance.

Dr. Tiffany Hart aka Ice Queen aka Tiffy💕 grew up with a single mom in near the Vegas strip .Her mom ends up having lung cancer which makes Tiffany do something’s that haunt her. (Also amazing these books go towards lung cancer!!!) Ethan Clarke a new radiology resident grew up the odd ball out with 2 doctors parents and a super smart brother. He comes from another hospital in Cleveland to switch specialties to get out from under the shadow of his family.

Tiffany and Ethan grow close and the chemistry is there from the start. Ethan just gets her and doesn’t push her to rush into anything. The visit is Disney was so sweet. Ethan shocked me when he came to her rescue too!! I didn’t know he had it in him.

Shout out to Netgalley and Victory Editing for allowing me to review this book.

Paging Dr. Hart was definitely not what I expected! I went into this book blind because the cover intrigued me. I was hoping for a little bit of hospital drama like one of my favorite sitcoms and it delivered. We meet Tiffany Hart who seems to have it all together. She’s efficient and knowledgeable. She’s working hard to be the top resident. She doesn’t have time for friendships let alone relationships. A new resident comes in and embarrasses her from the moment they meet.

But this novel isn’t all romance… Tiffany has a darker side that she’s tried to shut away. In her past she did what she had to do. She needed to survive and do anything to help her mother. As she finally begins to build a relationship she worries that her past will scare him away. She won’t tell him… that is until her past shows up confronting her.

I enjoyed learning about Tiffany and her story. It led me to question are some bad deeds acceptable for good intentions? Good people make bad choices but it doesn’t have to define them. I loved seeing true depth to the characters and their motives. It wasn’t the typical romance novel. I loved that the main character had a back story as well as a chance as redemption. If you enjoy work place relationships, forced proximity, one bed and enemies to lovers this is your book for the summer! Paging Dr. Hart releases 7/31/24. Thank you NetGalley and Dr. Melissa Dymond for allowing me this advanced read.

Thank you NetGalley and the author for this ARC.

3.5 ⭐️

I went into this book expecting Grey’s Anatomy with a main romance line, but the plot ended up a total unexpected surprise. There is a back and forth timeline between the FMC’s past (Vegas! Guns! Diamonds!) and her present life as a radiology intern.

I really enjoyed the medical side of this and it’s no surprise the author is a doctor. It was fun to slip into the world of being a resident and trust the facts would all be correct thanks to her expertise!

The past timeline and Vegas twists were really unexpected, and almost felt like they could have been a separate book. It was a lot to take in but also kept you turning the pages. And prepare yourself for a cliffhanger of sorts at the end in this realm!

The romance was great and spicy, and the MMC was definitely a McDreamy.

Note: I was a bit confused by the artwork throughout the book and some large titles (FRIENDSHIP) but assumed those would work themselves out in the final version? I just wasn’t sure if they were where they were supposed to be

3.5!
Dr. Tiffany Hart has a dark past that she’s tried hard to forget, but when she finally decides to let Ethan in, a fellow resident student, her past comes back to find her.

I really liked the idea of this book. I love me a medical drama and mystery! It was a fun and fast read. It kept me turning the pages to find out what happened in Tiffy’s past. In the book there are two timelines being told, and I liked the insight. However, I had a bit of a hard time connecting the past and present Tiffany- they almost seemed like a different person. I would’ve loved to have seen a little more character depth- but overall it was a fun read!!

Do not let the cover of this book fool you! It was seriously such a surprise to me the turn this story took and I am here for it! 🙌 If you are expecting an easy Scrubs-esque rom-com, then you are in for a surprise. Take that and mix it with a dark past, add some thrill, mystery and crime bosses and you’ll get this gem! It’s such a unique story and I love it!

This is not your average romance at all. Tiffany has a dark history back in Las Vegas where she grew up. Now a respected Radiology resident- she’s tried very hard to leave her past behind, but it’s beginning to catch up to her when she starts receiving cryptic messages from an unknown sender. Ethan is a man trying to distance himself from his family’s legacy to prove that he can be successful on his own. Together, they break down one another’s walls and find the love they never thought they deserved.

I read the spicy version, but the author has a clean version for those that prefer it that way. Let me tell you, though, while this was a Slow Slow Slowwwww Burn, when it finally caught Fire… WOW! 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️ 🥵 🥵

I’ve never read a book by this author before but I absolutely loved it! Thank you so much for the ARC! I loved this story, it was extremely well written. Will definitely be on the lookout for more books by this author!

I really enjoyed this book it had so many twists and turns it kept me on my toes but at the same time made me fall for the characters. I can’t wait for the next one!
