Short but hot

This was a very short story packed with lots of good stuff. Both the main characters were dealing with past relationships that had left the emotionally scarred. This story had some seriously good steam, with a hero who talked the talk and walked the walk.

I did take one star away for the couple of eye rolls I did regarding how quickly this couple connected and committed to each other.

These Entangled Brazen books surely do pack a punch. I will definitely be reading more of them.

For a short read it was very hot and very entertaining.

Full review to come.

Playing Doctor is slightly different than the other romance novellas I've been reading lately. It still follows that same tried and true format of two people not looking for love who hook up, and then end up finding love anyway. But it's usually just sex followed by a happily ever after. Beth and Gabe actually have meaningful conversations between bouts of sex, and then discuss possible problems their relationship could face and come up with potential solutions. Basically, the characters seem much more mature and believable. They both work in the medical field, and meet at a wedding when another guest collapses. From there they head back to Beth's room to act upon their attraction (several times) and get to know each other before heading back to their regularly scheduled lives.

I kind of loved Gabe. He gives this epic, sexy speech before he follows Beth to her room, and damn! That man knows how to talk. They pretty much do everything, all over the hotel room, and do some emotional bonding in the Jacuzzi tub. Then sadly, they part ways. But Gabe isn't ready to let her go and finds a way for them to be together. They'll face some hurdles since what they're doing tends to be frowned upon, but I think they'll be fine. Playing Doctor also doesn't have any declarations of love, which was great, since Beth and Gabe had only known each other for a night. It ends with them starting what looks like a promising relationship.
