Ice Queen. That’s Dr. Tiffany Hart’s nickname in the hospital, but when she meets red-hot new hire Dr. Ethan Clark she loses her cool. He’s arrogant, annoying, and stupidly handsome.

That’s okay. Frozen from a past filled with danger and betrayal, Tiffany is immune to charming men, even if they remember her favorite coffee and let her pick what to watch on TV.

Dr. Ethan Clark comes from a long line of famous doctors. Wanting to escape his legacy and forge his own path, he’s happy to transfer to Tiffany’s hospital. Especially when he lays eyes on the fiery redhead doctor assigned to train him.

Sure, she looks like she wants to punch him most of the time, but he can’t ignore the sparks between them so he vows to thaw her icy heart.

When Ethan and Tiffany are sent back to his home hospital and then to a medical conference at Disney World, they’re forced to share close quarters. And when Tiffany’s past finally catches up to them, they have to fight for their lives.

Can this prescription for disaster turn into happily ever after?






Como la sinopsis dice Tiffany es una doctora con especialidad en radiología, todos en el hospital la conocen como la reina de hielo porque es muy estoica, no socializa con sus compañeros, no tiene amigos y sólo está centrada en su trabajo. Para ella esa era una buena vida, después de todo lo que paso en su adolescencia lo único que quiere es tranquilidad y lo tiene hasta que llega un nuevo colega, Ethan, quien le hará que vuelva a latir su corazón y que tenga que enfrentarse a sus viejos fantasmas.

Me gusto la historia, pero siento que le falta algo en los capítulos del presente.

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

4 ⭐️ 3 🌶️ for Paging Dr. Hart by Dr. Melissa Dymond

Tiffany likes to keep to herself everyone she cares for just ends up leaving anyways but when Ethan a transfer to her hospital comes she cant seem to escape him. As feelings start to develop, Tiffany's past reappears. Will her and Ethan's new relationship be able to withstand her dark past?

This was a fun read, Ethan's golden retriever vibe helps soothe Tiffany's ice Queen persona and allows her to come out of her shell. The twist of her past coming out was well done. it kept you guessing what was really going to happen.
a definite read if you enjoy romance novels with some suspense.

I was immediately captivated by this ARC from NetGalley and Victory Editing. The story follows Dr. Tiffany Hart, a radiology resident with a complex past, who struggles to let others in. When she partners with the new resident, Dr. Ethan Clarke, we see their relationship unfold amidst Taylor Swift song references and dual timelines. Tiffany's character is beautifully flawed yet endearing, with a kind heart, while Ethan may come off as presumptuous at times. Despite my deep investment in the story, the unresolved mysteries and unanswered questions by the end left me slightly unsatisfied, craving more depth and closure.

I adored Paging Dr. Hart. It's just as it says it is, a medical romance with suspense.
Tiffany Hart is a promising radiology resident. She is angry when she is introduced to a first year resident who she felt undermind her presentation, Ethan. Ethan is gorgeous and charming. Slowly, Tiffany's past is revealed and she starts to wonder - can she get past her hang ups and fall in love with Ethan? Can he fall in love with her in spite of her past?

I work at a hospital and I absolutely loved the fact that this was written by a doctor. The book was accurate medically and you could tell a highly intelligent person wrote it. I loved reading that intertwined with the romance, spice, and humor. As Tiffany's past is slowly revealed, the reader finds themselves rooting for her.

Very good book. Definitely will be checking out more by this author.

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 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).

I went into this book thinking it would be a charming rom-com, and it far surpassed any of my expectations! The underlying tone of mystery and suspense that ran throughout the story gave it a delightful twist, and I especially enjoyed the alternating past/present POV’s that gave helped bind the story together and showed just how much Tiffany had changed over the years, and it felt as though I was growing up and feeling as she did. Ethan represented the very best of MMC’s, supporting Tiffany and being her rock, despite the ups and downs that come with their relationship.

Some tropes I thought were done really well were: reverse grumpy/ sunshine, close proximity, he fell first, and a delightful slow-burn romance.

I also really appreciate that the author chose to write two alternating books, one that was ‘spicy’ (open door romance) and one that was ‘sweet’ (closed door romance) so that everyone could feel included in reading this amazing book.
I can say for certain that I will be reading more of this series in the future!

A huge thank you to Netgalley and Melissa Dymond for an ARC in return for my honest review, which can be found on Goodreads 💕

This book was so cute one of my favorites from Melissa Dymond. I am not usually a big fan of flashbacks but I love the way that these were written. I love the way they span over multiple chapters in a row. It sounds weird but I usually have an issue because I want to know that is happening in one timeline over the other. I didn’t feel that way with this book I could not stop reading. The illustrations were the best touch. Love love love!!!

Different and tough to put down!
~~~~~~~~
Sometimes you run across a book that surprises you. I honestly wasn’t expecting too much, just another romance in a different setting.

But this author surprised me with her storytelling through alternating chapters of today and the past which culminate at the end for an exciting suspense-filled love story.

Dymond has created two amazing characters that just jump off the page. Not only from the physical descriptions but also their personalities. You can almost feel their very being through the images that she paints with her words.

The author gives us their vulnerability, their fears, their mistakes, and their regrets. But she also shares their tenacity and strength, as well as their love and kindness. Hot and spicy with some suspense too! This book truly has so much going for it.

I’ve never heard of this author before as she is a pretty new author. But I’m certainly going to continue to read her stories.

Paging Dr. Hart kept calling me back to keep on reading. I read late into the night and did not want to stop! That surely is a sign of a wonderful storyteller. I can’t wait to read more from her.

Thank you to netgalley and Dr Melissa Dymond for providing me with the ARC

I enjoyed this medical romantic suspense book. Tiffany overcame all the odds to get to where she is in her life. I loved the chapters that gave us the view into her past and seeing it from that view. Ethan is the quintessential golden retriever MMC and was the sunshine to her grumpy. Despite that he had some depth to his character as well.

The author blended the past timeline brilliantly with Tiffany’s current life and each view into her past left me wanting more. I was disappointed not to have the chapter closed on who Tiffany’s father was.

Overall of you enjoy some mystery with your romance definitely give this book a chance

------------------------------------------------Book Review ---------------------------------------------

📎 I would like to thank the author to give me an opportunity to be an arc reader for the book. Thank you @melissadymondauthor , @victoryeditingngc and @netgalley

📎. The book has got everything you want for a cozy read ; slow burn , one bed , enemies to lovers , grumpy X sunshine (reverse), suspense ,dual timeline, dark past, EVERYTHING!!! ALSO, there are hidden Taylor Swift song hints !! Had so much fun finding those .

📎Fav quote : The decisions of your family that were made for you , decisions that you had no control over, can be a burden . It can force you into a mold that might not fit.

📎The story starts as Dr. Tiffany starts to give a presentation , she's thinking about the resident of the month award , when a young man from the audience corrects about something related to her presentation , there goes her award in vain... Anyways the story moves forward and Dr. Ethan starts to work in the same hospital as her (he falls first and harder). They slowly get to know each other , develop feelings for each other but they don't disclose it to each other . Both of them have something from their pasts , regrets , mistakes , dark things . Ethan discloses his past regrets, to her but she doesn't.

📎Is it because she doesn't trust him ? Or is she afraid that she will be left alone again? Is it because she can't forgive herself for whatever she did ? Will he accept her the way she is ? Will they fight to be together in the end? Will they love each other even after so much of hurt ?

Hope you love the book , cuz I did too ! Happy reading 🤎

Dr. Melissa Dymond's Paging Dr. Hart is a whirlwind of romance, suspense, and medical drama. The story centers around the clashing personalities of Dr. Tiffany Hart, the 'Ice Queen,' and Dr. Ethan Clark, a charming and ambitious newcomer. Dymond expertly sets the stage for a fiery romance. Tiffany, emotionally guarded after a traumatic past, is initially resistant to Ethan's persistent charm. His unwavering determination to thaw her icy exterior creates a delightful tension that keeps the reader hooked. Their banter is sharp and witty, and their interactions are full of sizzling chemistry. The plot is fast-paced and unpredictable. The story seamlessly blends the complexities of the medical world with thrilling suspense, culminating in a heart-stopping climax that forces Tiffany and Ethan to confront their pasts and fight for their lives. While the romance is undoubtedly the heart of the story, Dymond also delves into the challenges and triumphs of the medical profession. The portrayal of the hospital setting feels authentic, and the portrayal of the characters' dedication to their patients adds an emotional depth to the narrative. Overall, this book is a fun and engaging read. The story's strong romance, compelling suspense, and well-developed characters make it a worthwhile read for fans of medical romance and thriller novels.

Thank you for the arc, I absolutely loved this book so much 🥰 all of the characters were well written even the side characters. I really enjoyed seeing the difference between past Tiffany and present Tiffany and how Ethan chipped away at her walls. The only thing I would say I wasn’t massively keen on is I would have liked Tiffany to have been reunited with her Dad and her discover who he is but never less I still would 100% recommend

“If heartbreak can kill you, then I’m going to die.”

Tiffany Hart is battle-fatigued. For years she’s fought people; pushed them away so she wouldn’t have to experience the pain of loss. She’s weary from doing everything herself and stressed at work. Just when she’s at the point of questioning whether it’s a strength or a weakness to need another person, Ethan Clark walks into her life.

Tiffany is a third-year radiology resident at Mercy Hospital. She can see the light at the end of the tunnel; only two more years left in her 10-year medical education.

Ethan Clark, Chief resident at Highview Hospital in Clevland, is in his second year of internal medicine and he’s applying for a radiology residency position at Mercy Hospital.

Their first meeting creates sparks. Not the good kind.

When they discover they need to work together it pushes both of them out of their comfort zone and into growth. Will Tiffany’s secret past be the road bump in their relationship? Will she learn the value of opening up to another person?

I loved that when push came to shove, Tiffany’s future actions were influenced by her mom’s advice to give a little of herself in order to experience love. She remembers her mom saying that love is about sacrifice and that if we truly love someone, we’ll give away parts of ourselves to keep that person happy and safe. I wasn't sure if Tiffany could offer up her past to keep Ethan safe or not. This was a great mystery and a compelling read.

Loved the exploration of:
💜Needing forgiveness; from others and from self
💜Learning to live a life of acceptance
💜the importance of finding someone who will fight for you
💜the notion that success comes from inside yourself
💜the damage we do by keeping secrets from those we love

Which is truly the braver thing? To force people away? Or to pull them close? Let Melissa Dymond’s great story give you something to consider. If nothing else, she’ll leave you on the edge of your seat as she’s planned answers to some of the bigger questions raised in this book in the books to follow.

The author has provided a list of triggers at the start of the book. She’s also published this book in two versions: sweet and spicy.

This romantic suspense is one you'll want to investigate for yourself!

I was gifted this copy by Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op and was under no obligation to provide a review.

This ins just excellent. The childhood years, the teenage years and the present day are all beautifully woven together for one smooth story. Enough is teased from the past to make the present that much brighter. The hospital is the perfect back drop for the romance between Tiffany and Ethan and their stories are well explained and exposed. There is enough drama to make this special, but still a few surprises that kept me hanging on till the very last line.

I enjoyed this one but I didn’t *love* as much as I expected. I had a really hard time suspending disbelief on the lack of consequences for “the event” that occurred in the past. Other little details too (like booking a plane ticket at the very last second and somehow getting a window seat despite the plane being full enough that someone was in the middle seat. No one chooses a middle when there are other options).

This delight is wrapped up in all of my favorite tropes, and I loved it. Any book about hot doctors and the one-bed trope is already a winner in my book. This is a slow burner, but once it catches, things get hot fast! I'm not a big fan of dual timelines, but this was done well and I really enjoyed it. Highly recommend it!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advanced digital reader's copy (ARC) in exchange for an honest review!

This is the story of Dr. Tiffany Hart, who ends up interning with Ethan. She is closed off to the world, and only focused on her work. Ethan is a total puppy dog who is adored by everyone
They get off to a rocky start, but end up having to room together while in Cleveland, where they grow close.

Like most recent books, this goes between past and present. I enjoyed learning about Tiffany's past and why she is so closed off. She grows up in Las Vegas and was raised by a single mother who falls ill. The author really makes you feel for Tiffany growing up on the wrong side of the tracks. I enjoyed her relationship with her neighbor, Mr. Chen.

The last half of the book is exciting, where her past catches up with her, through an old high school crush, Rafe.

The author has two versions of the book, one with love scenes and one without if you're more comfortable with that.

You would like this book if you like rom coms with some suspense.
