This fake relationship story was not at all what I expected. The books I read with this trope involves the characters trying to convince family and friends that they are together. In this situation, the aim of the fake relationship was for image boosting, hoping to achieve a dream. Drama and angst were absent from this story.
Penny and Benedict made a great team professionally and personally. Benedict suffered a lot in the past, and this colored his perception of love. So it was fun seeing him falling hard for Penny. Although burnt in the past, Penny never gave up on finding her happily ever after. She hopes to find it in Benedict’s arms.
The romance which developed between the couple filled me with hope. I knew Benedict would eventually see what staring him in the face, that love is not an emotion to fear but one to embrace. Now, it was easy to sympathize with Benedict for his tragic past, but his lie of omission didn’t make him extra brownie points. He had ample opportunity to tell Penny the truth. Besides, the revelation of the truth made him appear a hypocrite.
The story provided an inside look into the operations of the NICU. It highlighted the pain parents suffer watching their child undergoing treatment in the unit and the joy when they pull through. The story ended on a beautiful note. Honestly, I couldn’t ask for a better ending. It was perfect for this couple.
Readers who enjoy the fake relationship trope and medical romance should add A Nurse to Claim His Heart to their reading list.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
