Publisher's summary

A lesbian medical romance about the powerful breakthroughs we can't always see.

Nadia Keating has barely started her cardiothoracic fellowship training, but she already has the archetype nailed - she's direct, uncompromising, and suffering from a God complex.

Before she can focus on her impressive research, deeply closeted Nadia has a personal project: getting her inconvenient attraction to women out of her system. She picks a stranger online for a one-night stand.

Ashley Rylan, the chief of Nadia's department, is her polar opposite - sweet, agreeable, and soft-spoken - and the stranger Nadia unwittingly chooses.

The two women's meeting is a hostile disaster, and they would love nothing more than to never see each other again. However, their paths keep colliding as Nadia embarks on an ambitious experiment that could lead to a historic medical breakthrough.

Despite warring egos and the secrets they keep, their connection is powerful and growing. Maybe having sex would help them get over their distraction at work? Or would that just ruin everything?

Contains mature themes.

Entertaining

Nadia , while a talented surgeon is irredeemably obnoxious w/o a like able personal quality.
Ashley is Chief of Cardio-thoracic surgery yet is more often than not has the backbone of a wet sponge.

Yet somehow, okay, let’s be real, Abby makes it an enjoyable listen.

Historical references

For such a strict view of right and wrong the sexual encounter in the office seem very off putting but the overall story was very good

Mature and Sexy

I really enjoyed this. I love how intelligent it is. The narration flowed well and was flirty. The sex/ tease scenes were captivating. And the story made sense, mostly. Thank you

Entertaining - somewhat irritating.

One can only take inner dialogs of God complex characters without rolling one's eyes. And let's be real, no one would let a subordinate speak to others the way Keating gets away with. Overall, okay. Maybe a part two to flesh the BGs.

Fun

Fun, light - hearted, enjiyed the dichotomy of the characters and their development. It was worth the credits and the narrator did this book justice as I've come to expect with her readings 🙂

Incredible

I can't say enough about this book. For her first book, Faith Prize hit it out of the park. Having been in the medical feild for 40 years, I can attest to its accuracy. Then to top it off with Abby Craden narrating, you won't want to miss this debut novel.

The incredible Abby Craden bought this story to life

It’s very clear that Prize did quite a bit of research when creating this story. There was evidently lots of dedication. With that being said, some of the transitions were slightly choppy, there wasn’t enough description of what the main characters truly looked like, and the character development of the two main characters felt slightly stilted. IMO The author just continue to dug in deep on their “ personality traits” verses, allowing the characters to still be true to themselves and evolve. She used situations such as willingness to give up something one loved and I’ll take charge attitude in intimate moments to display a change in the characters’ Ideologies. This is great, but it means nothing when the characters themselves don’t show any evolution in the way they interact and the story still progresses with the same types of situations after these turning points.

If this was the offer first book, it was a decent read. I don’t regret reading it at all, and I feel like the author has really great potential. I would be open to reading from the author again and seeing how they develop their personal writing style .
