Never Date a Doctor: A Standalone Workplace Romance (Life Lessons) Kindle Edition

Some lessons are more fun when learned the hard way...

What's the first rule of nurse's club? That's right: Never date a doctor. Which Sasha Suvorin has no intention of doing anyway, since she's a nurse at Rutherford Hospital by day and working on her master's degree by night. Who has time for dating, much less dating someone you work with? Bad idea much?

That is, until the sexy British Dr. Caleb Thompson starts at her hospital. It also doesn't help that he's exactly her type with his dark hair, blue eyes, and rockin' bod. Or that he's not your typical arrogant and bossy surgeon. But Sasha isn't so easily convinced, and she soon discovers Dr. Hottie has a past that puts a stop to whatever she might have been feeling before anything ever starts between them.

Unfortunately, working together means facing temptation. Every. Single. Day. Is Sasha strong enough to resist what might just be the perfect man? And if she gives in, will Cal's past stay in the past? Sasha may be used to playing it safe, but life has a way of teaching its lessons ... one way or another.

Super Fun, Very Sexy!
5 Stars
Super Fun, Very Sexy!
This super fun and very sexy read from Melanie A. Smith kept me cozy by the fire while I waited out winter weather. Her flow and style has all the ease and intelligence Smith is known for - read her Safeguarded Heart series, like now! In the first standalone novel of Smith's Life Lessons steamy contemporary medical romance series, Cal Thompson, the hottest of all hot doctors, steals Sasha's heart but our heroine keeps her head. I love that Sasha knows her worth and refuses to give in to catty workplace gossip, even when the scheming of her co-workers takes a serious turn. Trust me, you'll be rooting for Cal and Sasha from word one of this standalone steamy contemporary medical romance!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantasy fulfillment at its best!

Never Date a Doctor is fantasy fulfillment at its best. It's my imagination come to life. With Cal and Sasha, Ms. Smith brings ALL THE STEAM, rooted in respect and trust and romance, and stemming from a fleeting connection that grows deeper. This book is a spark of a moment turned into a story.

This contemporary romance is a quick, fun read. Cal is dreamy and not just because of his body and English accent. Sasha is a heroine women can root for. There are real issues here, handled deftly and without dragging down an uplifting story.

Want to know the real life lesson? It's not 'never date a doctor.' It is *Buy every book Melanie A. Smith writes.*

I really enjoyed this book. I always love doctor/nurse romances for some reason and this was no exception. It was funny, it was sweet and definitely steamy. It had the perfect amount of drama but overall a really sweet “fated by the stars” romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars And she does it again!

I’ve read every single one of Melanie’s books and her story telling just gets better and better. Dipping her toes in all of these different sub genres leaves me in awe. I devoured Never Date a Doctor. And I was legitimately angry when it ended because I wasn’t ready to leave this world of swoony, steamy, sabotaging doctors and nurses! Um, yes please! Straight up Grey's Anatomy vibes and I was here for it.

I loved Cal. He was the perfect mix of sweet and cocky. And holy Brit hotness. But Sasha stole the show for me. I have a huge girl crush on her (and Becca). She was fiery, smart, confident. I want to be her bestie. Move over Becca! She knew herself and her worth. She was kind of everything.

The chemistry between Cal and Sasha was instant and palpable. And they were just so cute and hot AF. I melted into a puddle many times. But it wouldn’t be a Melanie A. Smith novel without a few twists and turns that had me gripping my Kindle. But that beautiful HEA was worth the jaw-clenching for a few chapters.

Such a dang good read. I am forever a fan.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good book, but lacking depth
Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2020
This book, while good, I felt was a bit lacking. If I could give half star ratings, I would’ve scored this a 3.5. I felt like the characters were not as strong as they could’ve been, the story was not as broad as it could’ve been, and it just felt like I read a book that skimmed the surface. I think the book was good, the premise was ripe, but the execution was lacking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well, it's official. I will read ANYTHING this woman writes!

This was so fun, smart, hilarious, and fast paced. Once I started it I couldn't put it down!

Something I've found a lot of romance authors forget to include in their stories is the reason WHY the hero is so in love with the heroine. They pass over that little spark that makes it all click for the reader in their rush to get to the juicy parts, but that's never an issue for me with Melanie's books. It's never an issue because I love the heroines too. They are smart, REAL women with relatable flaws, and I just adore them. The way Sasha rose to face her adversaries in this book had me pumping my fist and possible shouting, "You go girl!"

And don't get me wrong, Dr. Thompson wasn't bad either. ;)

This is the type of book, in my humble opinion at least, that absolutely qualifies the Romance genre as true literature. It's an honest portrayal of the female experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Read
Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2020
Dr. Caleb Thompson has just joined Rutherford Hospital specializing cardiac surgery. On his first day of work in the hospital clinic he meets Sasha Suvorin one of the nurses, and she is studying for her master's degree. They both feel like they have met before, but they do not how that is possible as Cal is from England. The attraction between the two of them was both instant and strong.

Jules, Sasha's supervisor always cautioned her people not to date doctors
as it was only asking for trouble. Sasha tried to live by that rule, and she did not have time for a social life with work plus school too. Then a rumor hit the clinic that Dr. Thompson was engaged. No one knew what was going on, but Sasha found out that he had been at an earlier date until it had been broken off recently.

Then another twist was thrown into the mix, when Sasha was fired for stealing drugs and then tested positive for drugs. She could not come on hospital property, contact anyone from work or finish her classes. Who was setting Sasha up and why?

This was quite the page turner. You never knew what was going to happen next. It will capture your interest in the beginning and hold it all the way through.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet twist of fate
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2020

This is a love story with a sweet twist of fate, a villain worth despising, and a heroine that learns some life lessons… see what I did there? Melanie A. Smith is an admired indie author for so many reasons, but one reason in particular is that she’s weaves a tight story that hits every mark. I found this one particularly delightful to read. I was grateful that it wasn’t too deep into the medical angle, which can be a trigger for me. It had just enough with a focus on the love story. Well done, Melanie! I’m happy to have this one of my shelf.

To be honest, this is not a very good read. The characters were underdeveloped and there really is no depth to the plot. It felt like this book was written in a rush and it really falls short of even mediocre.

“I may have been the type to rise above it all before, but this time the bitch has gone too far.”
————————————————————————-
When they are talking about insta love in romance books, I definitely think Melanie does a great job at displaying that. This novel was good paced, easy to follow, and had a great storyline. I don’t get to read doctor romances often, but this one is fits the Doctor trope well!❤️
————————————————————————-
The characters were well-developed. Sasha was a nurse, working towards her nurse practitioner degree when Caleb, the new hot surgeon starts working at the same hospital. A lot of the secondary characters played a large part in this novel as well. It was a great development in the end between character and plot.
————————————————————————-
For a 185 page novel, there was a great use of desire and conflict. Every novel needs these two concepts and Melanie portrays both really well. However, I found the first 150 were a slow development towards a dramatic twist which was unexpected, but welcomed!❤️
————————————————————————-
* I would rate this novel a 4📚
* Steam level: 4🔥
