This is a very suspenseful story and I loved it ~ I absolutely adore this author's writing and the underlying tension(s). My mind was constantly trying to workout who the villain(s) is and what exactly happened.
Both protagonists were extremely lovable and I loved their dynamic ~ and the spice was spicy, hehe!
When everything got revealed, I gasped out loud and honestly? I can’t wait for another book from the author.

Science meets workplace romance friends to lovers. Absolutely loved it! Perfect for my research breaks!

This book was nothing like I expected it to be and I absolutely loved it!!

Both main characters were very likeable and I thoroughly enjoyed the time jumps to get a better understanding of Tiffany and her past. I loved what an oooey gooey cinnamon roll Ethan was and how he really softened Tiffany’s rougher edges!

This book was a great read with the right amount of sweet, spice and suspense!

4 stars.

This story is well done - it provides romance and mystery while keeping the reader asking “where is this going?”

I feel like I accidentally learned a lot about Disney World, though.

The cover of this book is so cute and light hearted, however the book is not. I was supposed by the plot, well mildly surprised since the description says suspense. Most romance books that say they are suspense never deliver and Im usually disappointed and can guess everything that's happening. I hadn't the slightest clue with this book what was going. It was well written and kept me guessing! Can't wait to see what the author has planned next

I absolutely love this! The spice, and the dynamic of the characters are developed well and enough to keep you wanting more. The female MC is a very realistic career driven woman (if you have ever met one you know). I like how relatable she is and she is not overgeneralized. The male MC however is kinda cliche, but the author still allows him to have feelings instead of a strong "alpha* male. The flashback backs and time period switches are very clear and concise which I loved. Normally they are messy and confusing to read but in this case it was pretty good. However, I would edit out the fluff in the next one.

4.5 ⭐️

It took me a little while to get fully invested in this one, but it eventually sucked me in and I couldn’t put it down! It was the perfect balance of romance with suspense. It had a good balance of heartwarming moments, excitement, and heavier content (such as grief and unresolved childhood trauma). I really enjoyed the dual timeline that allowed us to learn about Tiffany’s troubled past! Admittedly, I was a bit more interested by the past timeline than the present timeline, but when the past started catching up with the present, I was captivated. The author had a really engaging writing style and the pacing was well-done! There were some twists and betrayals I didn’t see coming.

I thought the romance was sweet and the characters were flawed and relatable in some ways (Ethan with his people pleasing and fear of failure, Tiffany with her reluctance to lean on others due to being burned in the past, her desire to prove herself and make something of herself, etc.). The MCs gave off black cat and golden retriever vibes. They had good banter and chemistry! I usually enjoy a he falls first (and harder) trope; however, in this case, it felt a little too instalovey on his side which resulted in there being less tension in the slow-burn than I tend to prefer. The MMC is a total sweetheart and is literally the definition of a man written by a woman (a few cheesy romantic lines included haha, but hey, he’s still swoon-worthy). Green flags all around. (Though, I hated that he called her Tiffy, especially during spice scenes…haha, I’m sorry but that’s just not a cute nickname).

The end left a few things open and unanswered; however, this is because she is setting it up to be the first book in a series of interconnected standalones. Well, I’m now hooked and will definitely be keeping my eyes out for the next book! 👀

This book is available in two versions: Sweet (non-explicit, just kisses) and Spicy (mild explicit language, open-door) so readers can enjoy it at their own comfort level! I personally read the Spicy version and wanted to note that I felt the spice was well-balanced with the romance and plot. There were only about 2 or 3 open-door scenes so didn’t feel overly spicy and I didn’t think the spice distracted from the story at all!

Thank you to Dr. Melissa Dymond, Netgalley, and Victory Editing for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

This book seriously gave off Grey’s Anatomy vibes and I am obsessed I love that show and to have read it in a book is amazing! I loved the dual and the future/past timelines. It brought the book together and was able to learn and understand all of Tiffany’s insecurities. I love the dynamic between characters. It was just a refreshing fun adventure in a book!

“It’s like I’m always telling you. You’re stuck with me.”
There are green flags... Then there is Ethan Clark!!! He is definitely the biggest green flag to ever exist!!! There are tropes that are regular in any romance book... But instead of executing those in the same old way, I loved how the author spun them in a refreshing way... Even the grumpy/Sunshine trope, because here the usual sunshine is the grumpy one!
There are so many things I loved about this book... (a) The story.... It's so refreshing to read a medical drama, a romance, that too with a suspense!! I have to tell you @melissadymond you are a genius! (b) The characters... Both Tiffany and Ethan were so likable. Tiffany having her dark past, and Ethan being the epitome of support, the story stood strong in their shoulders. (c) The writing... There isn't a bit in the book where I didn't like reading it at all. It is so smooth that the story just flows on and on. I'm so happy to be given that eARC, because this is hands down the best romance I read recently! Thank you so much, and eagerly waiting for the upcoming stories from Dr. Hart world! And I definitely need a physical copy of this one!!

And if these tropes excite you,
🔵 Medical Romance
🔵 Grumpy/Sunshine (reverse)
🔵 Dual Timeline
🔵 Workplace Romance
🔵 Forced proximity
🔵 Rivals to Lovers
🔵 He falls first
🔵 Slow Burn
You will definitely love this book!

Thank you NetGalley, and Victory Editing for sending me this ARC.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this audio.

Did someone say Greys Anatomy! lol when I read the blurb I thought of Greys. I was a bit disappointed that it started off pretty slow. It took me. A while to get into thjs but about 30% in it picked up and was pretty fast paced. I really liked it. I a glad I kept reading!

This book fit perfectly in my Grey’s Anatomy mood I was having! I was not expecting the thrilling heist/suspense elements to be so intriguing. Overall I wished there was more medical drama and better pacing with the flashbacks, after 50% I was finally hooked. I’d recommend this to someone who likes reading character driven plot, as Tiffany’s journey is such a beautiful transformation.

Thank you Netgally for the eARC!

It felt like I was running out of time so I badly needed some good quality reads in the shortest amount of time — and this title came up.

It was an easy and quick read, just as I wanted. Being fond of Grey’s Anatomy made me think as if this is a book version of a couple in the series. Kind of like Dr. Pierce and the guy intern (sorry! I forgot the naaaame!)

The “dark past” of Dr. Hart was not exactly what I pictured. The comeback of a person from her past felt forced and the same goes for the resolution afterwards. It also felt like the male lead was somewhat built up for somebody who once was part of Dr. Hart’s past but then turned out he’s not (and he’s an entirely different person).

The illustrations on the book was the real ✨bomb✨. There were definitely a lot of swoon-worthy lines but they seemed cliché— but they are reaction worthy. Some of mine include: ‘What the—?’, ‘Huh-‘, and ‘Really?’

It’s good for a quick read with a little spice medical-themed romance.

I enjoyed this book even though i had a hard time getting into it. I loved the characters.
The book was fast paced and the last 25% felt rushed. The book ends and you still have lots of questions even though it is said that they will be answered in the next standalones of the series.
I enjoyed Tiffany and Ethan, they were fun to read about.

Genre: Romance (can be spicy or clean)
Rating: 4/5⭐️
Spice: 2/5 🌶️ (there is a closed door option for this book)

Summary: Tiffany built herself up to the resident she is by keeping everyone at a distance. Suddenly, a new resident joins her team and she finds her walls coming down little by little and it’s terrifying.

Thoughts: I enjoyed reading this one so much! I absolutely loved the dual timeline and how pieces of the story were revealed.

There was so much heart to this story and a very dramatic build to the ending, without being overly frustrating.

There were a few scenes that felt a little awkward to me, but overall the characters and storyline had me not wanting to put it down.

A slow burn medical romance with a bit of suspense. It's giving early Grey's Anatomy vibes and I'm here for it.

Paging Dr Hart is a duel pov with two stories that come together at the end featuring our protagonist Tiffany's present and childhood. The suspense comes from Tiffany recieving texts and images from an unknown caller alluding to her past. I was quite intrigued by what this could all mean and it gave a little mystery.

Tiffany is a third year radiologist at Mercy hospital and during her presentation a man in the audience corrects her on a mistake she had made, spoiling her presentation and irritating Tiffany, she ends up finding out that this man is actually applying for a radiology position within Mercy. So of course their first encounter with each other isn't the best.
Ethan is our new book boyfriend, he's charming, sweet, handsome and very patient (pun intented) I really liked the slow burn relationship and they were cute throughout the book. The disney scenes were so adorable.

What I didn't like so much were the "spice" scenes, but that's just my opinion, I always find sex scenes a bit cringe and awkward and tend to blast through them. There were roughly three sex scenes so it's not full of spice just a little sprinkle. (I am aware the author has two versions of this book, one without spice if you are looking for it without) There were also quite a few Taylor Swift references in this book. I think authors need to tone down that kind of stuff. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I get that she's a big artist but its been happening quite a bit in romance novels. I also felt like we could have had more. So many things left unexplored.

I really enjoyed Dr Melissa Dymond's writing and this is the first book of her's that I have read but its not a debut. I look forward to reading more books written by Dymond.

Tropes include:

- He Falls First
- Reverse grumpy x sunshine
- Duel Timeline
- Rivals to Lovers
- Forced Proximity

If you like the sound of any tropes, I highly recommend you pick this book up!

While this book wasn't for me, it definitely could fit for other people. Pick this one up if you enjoy:
* romantic suspense
* the option of open or closed door spice
* dual timeline
* forced proximity

"Are you implying that I'm going to kiss you again, Ethan Clark?" - "God, I hope so"

Firstly, thank you to Netgalley and the author, Dr Melissa Dymond, for giving me the opportunity to read an ARC in exchange for honest feedback.

Paging Dr.Hart was a medical romance with a suspenseful edge and a hint of mystery. I loved the combination of genres, and the parallel storylines, switching between Tiffany in the past and her in the future. I thought it was super effective how we were introduced to present Tiffany, and then bit by bit we were exposed to her past, like her past was revealing itself as time went on. I loved Tiffany herself, a strong FMC with a flawed past, not only falling in love with the MMC but working with him to find and better herself.

Both Ethan and Tiffany had instant chemistry from their first meeting, which panned out nicely through the book. I loved the banter between them at times, followed by all the sweet actions when they were in Cleveland. Although there were a few spicy scenes in the version I read, there is a clean version as well which is a good option for those that aren't interested in spice. I think the romance between the characters was mature and not at all cheesy or giddy, but very realistic in a way.

The mystery aspect was effective, I was confused at times (like in most mystery books I read), but every chapter from Tiffany's past left me wanting to read more. For me personally, I found some aspects of the mystery plot itself to be quite unrealistic and I just couldn't connect to that main complication from her past, which is what lowered my rating.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It was fast paced and easy to read, however it took a few chapters to get started, but I was hooked from that point on. In terms of the doctor aspect, I feel like it was executed very well. The book wasn't too "doctory" but it had clear references and a solid understanding of a hospital setting - probably because the author is a DOCTOR?! (that's honestly so impressive).

Tropes:
🩺Doctor x Doctor
🩺Workplace Romance
🩺Forced Proximity
🩺"Enemies" to Lovers
🩺He Falls First
🩺Starting Over
🩺Secret Past

I am super excited for the rest of the interconnected books, and I cannot wait to read them!

“This white teeth would blind most women, but not me. I became immune to beautiful boys long ago.” — Paging Dr. Hart by Dr. Melissa Dymond

I really enjoyed this story! It had a lot more suspense than I was expecting but it made it very intriguing, especially the past and present aspect. Getting to know who Tiffany was as a young child/teenage and how she came to be the doctor she is now was done very well and constantly had me guessing about what had happened. Multiple times I thought I knew the answer and then kept back tracking as I got more information.

Ethan was such a great MMC and I loved the initial banter between he and Tiffany. I would have loved getting his PoV throughout and having this be a true dual-pov story but understand that would have been tough with the last and present chapters already taking place.

If you want a doctor romance with some intense suspense thrown in, then do not hesitate to download this book! I read the spicy version and loved it but the amazing Dr. Melissa Dymond also has a sweet version to ensure all readers get what they want!

This was my first medical romance book that I have read. Even though I have never worked in the medical field, I still was able to follow what was going on and really enjoyed the book. The characters had me hooked.

This book was absolutely amazing! The suspense and romance didn’t clash…it actually went together perfectly. Which is something I don’t often see in books. I love the way it’s wrote in Tiffany’s past pov and her present. I would definitely recommend. OH! And we can’t forget the spice😉
