Grey’s Anatomy vibes (the early years) but all my tears are from joy and not all my favorite characters dying?! Yes please! I absolutely adored this book! I can’t wait to have a hard copy on my shelf!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!!!

I simply adored this book! The banter between the main characters was top-tier, and the slowww burn romance was perfectly executed. One standout aspect is that the author is an actual doctor who went through residency, which adds a layer of authenticity and nuance that you don’t often get in medical romances. While I personally wasn’t a fan of how long the rumor storyline dragged out before being resolved, it didn’t take away from how much I enjoyed the book overall. The chemistry between the main characters was so cute, and I couldn’t get enough of them!

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC!

This book was just so so freaking good!

The characters, the vibe, the hospital gossip, everything was so good, I loved it enough, that im probably gonna re-read it on it's release date!

This is a nemesis to lover, with forced proximity, slow burn and workplace romance and there are so many feisty moments that made me scream and kick my feet. Grace and Julian build such an amazing relationship and their characters are complex and grow so well in time. My heart aches for Grace and all that she went through. Julian's sweetness and how attentive he was patch my heart (and Grace's) right back up.

I felt so many emotions and literally couldn't put the book down! The representation of women in STEM was good and realistic! It was so accurate, all the detail made me addicted to the universe and lowky made me want to become a resident, even though I wouldn't be able to handle the ASCOM ringing all the time. Another big point is the fact that there is an ACCURATE and AMAZING representation of mental health, which is very important to me.

You all need to read this as soon as it comes out!

If you are looking for a book after a Grey's anatomy hangover, with the perfect enemy to lovers and best characters, this is for you !

I loved the medical setting and once I started I was hooked. Greys anatomy romance vibes? Yes please!

I love romance books and as soon as I saw this based in a medical setting I knew I wanted to read it. It starts off with a rumor and a conflict between the two main characters that sort of misses the mark to me. The rumor around Grace and Julian judging her for it just didn’t seem to be enough to make them enemies in my opinion. Once they both realized they were wrong about the other person you’d think they could put aside their differences and be civil but they continue to have juvenile reactions and I found Julian to be very judgy. I did enjoy the banter and I liked the friend group. I did not like the formatting for this book. The pacing was hard to follow at times without clear chapters. In the kindle version there were often large breaks between sentences and a lot of typos. It was very distracting and made it difficult to read. I hope before publication this is remedied. Overall, I did enjoy the book. I can definitely see the potential and I think for a debut it can only get better from here.

Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for the opportunity to read this one.

I loved this book. I loved Julian, I loved Grace, I loved seeing their journey. This is a romance set during the stressful time of doctor residency for these two OBGYN interns/residents. I loved all the medical talk and hospital lingo even if I didn’t understand it all. I do work in a hospital but I am not a doctor. It helped add to the conflict of the story with the added pressure of working non-stop in a stressful/high-stakes environment. Julian is such a sweetie/cinnamon roll, and Grace is relatable when you have past emotional baggage that just won’t let you be. Their dynamic is so fun to watch, and I speed through this book, not wanting to put it down.

Do yourself a favor and add this book to your TBR. Fun fact: the author is a doctor which gives it added authenticity.

Thank you Deidra Duncan, NetGalley, and Harlequin Trade Publishing/Canary Street Press for an advanced digital copy of this book.

The story was interesting but kind of scattered. I liked the characters a lot but it felt like this book wasn’t sure what it wanted to be. I would love to read thins with more editing and direction.

Thank you Harlequin Trade Publishing and NetGalley for letting me read a free copy of this book in exchange for a review.

This was very much like an “enemies” to lovers Greys Anatomy. The main character Julian reminds me a little bit of Alex Karev because I didn’t like him in the beginning but in the middle I start to like him and then at the end he drove me absolutely insane. I liked Grace and I understand why she was so hesitant to love him but I could have done without the 3rd act it was kinda out there for me and it made me just speed read until the end. Julian was also kinda whiny during the last like 80 pages and it killed me.

I requested this because it felt very greys anatomy coded and this did not disapoint, chemistry and story were off the charts

Love Sick was a unique and engaging story. I enjoyed the dynamic between the two leads even if I found their initial interaction lacking. I found the writing style interesting with the alternating POVs however this did cause quite a bit of confusion when it came to when and where I in the book. There were times I was unsure of whose POV I was in because it had been so long. Overall, I thought it was a good read and definitely looked to handle some tough topics.

This was such a cute story!
Sapphire (Grace) starts as an OBGYN intern at a Texas teaching hospital where rumors immediately begin circulating about her. She meets Julian at their intern mixer and right away they have great chemistry, but she overhears him talking about the rumors and their relationship starts out badly. All of the fellow interns become friends, bonding over the hardships of the hospital. Grace and Julian remain enemies with heated will they or won’t they energy.
The author is an OBGYN herself, her own experiences leading to a genuine medical aspect while still being easy to understand as a reader with no medical education. Julian being a Doctor of Osteopathy was such an interesting addition to the story.
This book is a breath of fresh air for the genre. I really enjoyed watching Grace and Julian’s relationship develop and seeing them grow as people and Doctors.
I hope to see more from Deidra Duncan!
Thank you Net Galley for an ARC

4.5 stars! This is easily one of my favorite books I have read this year? Right off the bat the chemistry between our two main characters are palpable…but the way it grows is astonishing. Ugh JULIAN the man that you are. What an amazing way to write a MMC. Truly delightful. And Grace….girl I want to be best friends. Please, I beg.

The banter in this book was on ANOTHER LEVEL. Right up until the very last page. I ate it up!! This book will have a permanent home on my shelf when it comes pub day.

Thank you Netgalley, Deidra Duncan, and Harper Collins for the advanced copy!

Okay this book was a sleeper! I loved the doctor romance and the romance writing is so REAL. if you love an enemy-to-lovers plot and you’re at fan of Katherine Center, then this is the perfect romance for you. It follows a group of 5 OBGYN interns who are going through the stresses of classes, residencies, dating, and drama.

What could say more about a book than the fact that I usually take 3–6 days to read one, but I finished this in a day? 😁
Need I say more?

This was a fantastic story about the realities of life and work in the medical field, the impact of rumors on a career, and the consequences of abusive relationships.

Grace and Julian had amazing chemistry — as enemies, as friends, and as lovers. Their unwavering support for each other completely won me over.

I highly recommend it to all fans of medical dramas like Grey’s Anatomy, The Good Doctor, Chicago Med, and others.

Thank you to NetGalley and Canary Street Press for providing this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

grey’s anatomy meets The Hating Game? say less. I’m in love.

this book was absolute perfection from start to finish and I absolutely ATE it up. the characters were incredible, and I loved their enemies to friends to lovers story. it was incredibly deep, thoughtful, emotional, and yet had me swooning at the same time. also the sexual tension/chemistry was off the charts. such a cool perspective on workplace romance and approached a lot of important topics with grace. 10/10 would recommend!

incredible debut. can’t wait for more!

This OB/GYN enemies-to-lovers rom-com has so much potential, and it is a fast, entertaining read, even though the execution doesn’t exactly hit the mark.

The writing is accessible and full of medical (STEM) and geeky pop culture references, so Ali Hazelwood fans should like it. There’s lots of banter, and ADHD (MMC) and anxiety (FMC) rep, and it shines a light on difficulties faced by medical residents. (Though I think it could push a little harder on that - especially since these are OB/GYN residents in Texas, maybe there should be mention of abortion, but there isn’t any at all. If we’re talking about maternal mortality, maybe that should come up?)

This book feels so grounded and authentic, yet it has all the fun and lightness you hope for from a rom-com! There was great chemistry and banter between the main characters, and the medical side was wildly fascinating and intriguing for someone not in that world (and from what I hear, very accurate for those who are in it!). This was definitely a fun, interesting read that hooks you right off the bat!
Thank you Netgalley and Harlequin Trade | Canary Street Press for the chance to read this in exchange for an honest review.

Very cute story! I really loved the characters and the love story! I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves a cute sweet romance!

I am a sucker for anything doctor and I knew I would enjoy this one. This had PERFECT banter that had me laughing out loud and the chemistry was fantastic.

This felt so real to what being in residency actually feels like. I LOVED the sizzle between Julian and Rose from the very beginning and was THRILLED to see it all come together in the end. So glad that they all got their happy ending!
