Thank you to Netgalley and Melissa Dymond for the advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review of this novel.

Outwardly, Paging Dr. Hart is a fun romance between two radiology residents with some forced proximity and a cinnamon roll MC. However, Dr. Tiffany Hart is much more complicated than her ice-cold demeanor leads on —told through a single POV and dual timeline the plot swaps between Dr. Tiffany Hart’s childhood and the present day. This quick read kept me entertained and hooked enough to stay up late to finish.

When Dr.Ethan Clark becomes the newest resident in her program, Tiffany is forced to bring him to speed. However, she finds his handsome face challenging impeding her goal of impressing her residency director. I always get nervous reading books about physicians but Melissa Dymond, a physician herself captured hospital life quite well. You do not need to be in medicine to follow along with this story, and I didn’t notice any particularly confusing medical jargon. 

Dymond shapes Tiffany wonderfully and with great detail. Through the events of Tiffany’s childhood, all her idiosyncrasies are clear, and the reader gets a clear insight into who Tiffany is. I loved the contrast to Ethan and learning their different paths to medicine. This authenticity and helped make both of these characters come to life. Their conversations are playful, and their chemistry is palpable. I read the open-door version, but there is a modified closed-door one as well. 

The ending caught me off guard, with a convoluted plot climax that I did not see coming, and it felt rushed once things came together. I don’t want to spoil things, but the events seemed over the top, and I had trouble buying the storyline. The author describes this book as romance with suspense, which is accurate. If you liked the combination in the Knockemout series by Lucy Score, you would probably enjoy this novel as well.  

 Overall, I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it (especially to all those dreaming of workplace romance).
