Publication date: May 19th 2020
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance
From best-selling author Melanie A. Smith comes the second book in a new series of steamy contemporary medical romance standalone novels about life lessons that break all the rules.
Even when you know better, sometimes it’s simply too tempting…
Hospital work isn’t for the faint of heart. Becca Dillon knows that firsthand, having worked as a medical assistant in the cardiac unit at Rutherford Hospital for longer than she cares to think about. What she does care to think about is having fun, gossip, and … guys. Her favorite of the three. And why stick to one, when you can sample them all?
That’s exactly her plan when a workplace crush on a mysterious bad-boy orderly unexpectedly takes a very steamy turn. But Vincent DeMarco turns out to be nothing like she expected, and before she knows it, she’s falling hard and fast. She wants him in ways she’s never wanted anyone before, but there’s something he’s keeping from her. Something that’s holding him back. And Becca is going to find out what.
Even though she knows that bad boys don’t make good boyfriends, he seems like he might be so much more. Will her quest unlock the truth behind who he really is? Or will it end their relationship for good? Either way, ready or not, Becca’s world is about to change.
MY REVIEW
Somehow, someway the two embark upon something that neither was expecting, and it's looking like there's real happiness in the future for them. But Vincent is hiding something significant, and not only does it have to the power to change everything, but the very fact that he's hiding it could spell the end for their relationship. Will Vincent open up in time to save their relationship?
I love the push and pull between Becca and Vincent and damn...the chemistry is hot! But my favorite part of this book is Becca - she's smart and strong and a sweetheart. Vincent ended up being perfect for her even if he seemed to be the opposite of what she needed on the outside.
