Thank you NetGalley and Lexi Davis for the opportunity to review this ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts.

This was one spicy little number! It was like watching a dark version of Greys Anatomy with lots of trigger warnings. Jessica is a struggling teacher who goes for her annual check up with West. He’s been crushing on her since high school but she doesn’t remember him. So of course she must be his. The chemistry between the two characters, tension, possessiveness, and emotional depth made it unable to put this book down.

I enjoyed this book, it was a spicy short read in between bigger books. The plot was easy to follow and the spice was spicing!

Whewww what a book. West and Jessica’s dynamic was 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️! I enjoyed learning the back story of each character, as everything is not what it seems, and all of the secrets were revealed at the perfect times. I don’t usually read medical romance, but I’m glad I got accepted for this - I’m looking forward to a continuation! Definitely check this out if you like dark romance.

Just want to say thank you Lexi for letting be an ARC Reader for your book. 🥰

A culmination of all three books from the Deeply Examined Series that came out earlier this year, and it does not disappoint. I absolutely loved this story - it is so well written and I would quite happily read it again and again and again!! I basically ate up the whole story in about day.

Jessica Jones is a patient of Dr Adam West and when he steps into the room, he cannot believe what he sees - his High School Crush!! And then when she doesn't realise who he is, he takes matters into his own hands in which things then spiral for the both of them in different ways, and changes their lives forever.

Although this book is dark at times, with spicy scenes throughout (love the artwork), it goes into some depth about Adam's background and his family history, and once Jessica comes back into his life, he then tries to face his demons and insecurities whilst at the same time trying to help Jessica with her own traumas she is facing.

This book is full of tension, jealousy, suspense and angst and I am here for it. Adam is so morally grey, particularly around his possessiveness of Jessica, and then when he goes a bit too far....oh boy!!

Although Jessica is initially wary of him, she cannot resist him as he brings out a side of her she didn't know she could be, and she likes it and wants more.

It is definitely a 5 star read for me 😉

Cannot wait to see what Lexi has in store for us next 🥰

Deeply Examined Omnibus/Completed Novel: A Dark Medical Romance by Lexi Davis offers a captivating mix of Fifty Shades and Grey's Anatomy ( yes I stole this view from another review, it's bang on!).Jessica and West's story was so captivating that I devoured the entire novel in just one afternoon.
Jessica, a struggling teacher, goes for her annual exam, but it turns into something far beyond what she expected. West, stunned to see his high school crush Jessica in his exam room, takes it as an opportunity to dominate her and test her limits. While the novel ventures into dark themes with an abundance of spicy scenes, Lexi Davis beautifully brings depth to both Jessica and West. Watching them evolve both together and apart adds emotional richness to the story. West's complex family history and personal struggles resurface as Jessica re-enters his life, forcing him to confront his demons while supporting Jessica through her own challenges. Jessica's journey unfolds as she begins to understand the extent of West's influence on her life. At first, she resists, but ultimately realizes she doesn’t want to escape his grasp after all. Their journey concludes with a HEA and wraps up deliciously.

Steammmmmmy. Fast paced. Couldn't put it down. So hot. Obsessed with this book is an understatement. Stalking the author now for sure. 🔥😍

This book was a fast paced story from start to finish. If you are looking to dip a toe into the world of medical kink, this may be a good starting point for you.
The pacing was very quick from the first page and was easily readable in one sitting.
However, the pacing didn't really work, as I felt that it left the characters underdeveloped. Knowing more about them earlier in the story would have warmed me to them more and made certain plot points more engaging. The dialog was missing warmth and personality which could also lead to more connection with the characters.
I also felt that some plot points, which offered ample room for quality content, were glossed over in favor of moving along an already short story.

This book was awesome. Spicy and dark. I was lucky to be on Lexi Davis' ARC team when she was releasing this in 3 parts (the cliffhangers were no joke!) The way everything wrapped up in the end and the explanations (the trauma) made sense and created an awesome conclusion to this spicy, dark medical romance. Can't wait to read the next book in the series!

Thank you to Netgalley and Lexi Davis for the eARC.

I love this book, is the kind of book that you need to finish because you can't take off your hand !!

The book is quite spicy but in the last part of the book it focused more deeply on them, and that emotional depth made me fall even more in love.

There were moments that made me laugh and others that shattered my heart 💔, but through it all, I was completely hooked. I enjoyed it so much that I’m already planning a full re-read of the entire book!

Let's talk about the character, I personally loved Dr. West, he is so deep let's forget about the money and the way he looked ( I personally think is so freaky handsome) but the way she thought and wrote him he is so deep but I can't say tooo much because I really would love you to read it because is beautiful.

3.5⭐️

When he buys her a bed to tie her up in AND has his very own library WITH A LADDER.

I thought this book was great. Good writing, fast paced and easy to digest. I read it in one sitting and enjoyed it a lot.
It is in fact dark and very spicy but sometimes that’s just what you need as a source of entertainment.

I’d love to read what Lexi Davis writes next💘

This was like a Fifty Shades of Grey meets medical Dr. Greys Anatomy romance. If you like darker romances than this is the book for you. I thought both characters had great chemistry.i really enjoyed the protective aspect as well. It was a well written engaging story that had me flipping the pages well into the night to see what would happen next.

Deeply Examined is incredibly good!! This is the perfect blend of Fifty Shades and Grey's Anatomy. Jessica is a struggling teacher who goes for her annual exam and it's nothing like she expected. Dr. West is mysterious and has all the Christian Grey vibes and it makes me so excited!

Dr. Adam West has one small secret though he knew Jessica from high school. He immediately is protective of Jessica when Lexi gives us an edge of our seat level of suspense and he rescues her.

Any other story we might be yelling at Jessica to stay away or maybe slow down and be careful. Yet for some reason we don't want her to stop. Adam is a red flag villianish guy and we all know Jessica should really stay away from him, but his past keeps those walls up. Like all walls though they can be knocked down with enough force and Jessica is definitely that force.

Sweet tender moments and special gifts soften me up to Adam and love how Jessica and Adam grow together and individually, but unfortunately a secret comes out destroying everything they worked on.

Does it break everything they worked so hard on or are we told cupcake shattering everything? 🧁

This book is so good and left me wanting more! I love a good medical doctor romance especially when spicy time starts in the gyn0 exam room. Jessica was the prom queen in high school and object of every boy's desire. But she doesn't recognize Dr. West when he walks into the exam room for her annual appointment. But he certainly recognizes her. He had a huge crush on her in high school and still does. He's changed a bit in ten years. He's super hunky now and Jessica definitely won't forget him this time!
Dr. West is definitely the anti-hero but he really comes through for Jessica when she is being terrorized by a drunk neighbor. He comes to her rescue and even demands that she leave her apartment and stay in his luxurious home. West is such a complex character and he is certainly hiding something dark about himself from Jessica. Will she be able to break through his frosty exterior and find the marshmallow softie that hides inside? The s3xual tension between them is palpable. And West's control is only hanging on by a thread.
In the latter part of the book, you learn about West's sad childhood and his hard won fight to become successful despite his past circumstances. It also helps you (kind of) understand why he st@lks Jessica and is so obsessive about her. When Jessica discovers a tidbit of information that West is hiding, to say she's not thrilled is an understatement! But where does that leave West when he looks to Jessica for his redemption and salvation? Will they work out their differences in love languages and communication and find their way to a happily ever after? I adored West despite his unconventional ways of showing love. And the spicy scenes were awesome. I hope to read more about this couple in a future book.

🌶️5/5 Spice
🔥Slow Burn
❤️ Smut with a plot
✨Dual POV

Woah, all right this book was S-T-E-A-M-Y in absolute capital letters in the best way possible. There is SMUT and then there is SMUT with a plot and this was defiantly the latter.

Jessica, our MMC, is strong, independent, caring and kind. She is a school teacher that has lost both of her parents early on in her life and the book starts off with a bang when she is just getting a routine annual examine when, Dr.Adam West walks in. The tension in the air during this scene is so palpable you can literally cut through it with a knife. Dr.Adam West, is handsome and smart. Little does Jessica know, he used to be obsessed with her in high school.He was a senior while she was a freshman, so she never knew him then. He always watched her from a distance. She was the popular sweet cheerleader and he was the nerd who was heavily bullied. After, realizing who is in his examine room, he conducts his examination a little more throughly than he should. Leaving them both hanging for more. However, West has rules — he never gets attached, never more than one sexual encounter and defiantly no dating. So why does he suddenly find himself giving Jessica his number and breaking every rule/boundary there is when it comes to doctor/patient relations?!

Let me start off by saying, I literally devoured this book in like 5 hours. I stayed up all night reading this because I was hanging on every single word, and every scene left me craving more with that tension in the air. This book was SMUT at it’s finest, but with a plot. Which I know I’ve said like 5 times already, but yes please! It’s so rare to find smut that has something going on besides, well smut. SO we love a good smut with a plot. The slow burn in this book is absolutely killer. It is just so well written — the pacing that gives us that good slow burn is absolutely spot on. There is time jumps in this book, which, I sometimes feel like don’t work well because they aren’t executed properly in most books. However, this just added to that level of slow burn and unlike most time jumps in novels, it felt like a smooth transition and I didn’t feel like I had just missed 25 chapters in between.

This book has so much character development in both West and Jessica. West obviously more than Jessica as his layers were more of an onion. Every single scene left me page turning. We learn more and more about West’s history and why he is the way he is and what really makes him tick. It’s character development in it’s finest, when you realize that the roles have reversed from the past —West once bullied, and not so attractive then, is now the popular, rich, sexy doctor. While Jess, may still be hot, but she’s a teacher who is poor and doesn’t have any family. She slowly starts to realize that West has embedded himself in every aspect of her life and there’s no escaping. Thing’s couldn’t be going better until she realizes that he’s been holding on to secrets.


Overall, yes or no to should you read this book? UM Abso-freaking-lutely. If you are a dark romance girly like myself, this will be a fast, on your edge, book for you. It also got me out of a little reading rut I was in! I’m excited to see if we will get a Parker and Monica book after that little tease on the end!

I was not sure what to expect from this book as it has trigger warnings with it. With being familiar around hospital settings, I wondered it I should but I choose to at least give it a go. Jessica does not realise how much her life will change when she goes for her annual check up at the doctors. Dr West cannot believe Jessica is standing before him. You can feel the attraction between the both of them especially when Dr West starts doing his examination. Now I did find this bit a little cringe but it works for how the story develops I think. Things develop between the two of them and things get deep (excuse the pun) when Jessica moves in with him. She starts to find out more about him than she could ever imagine. But is this what she wants for the rest of her life? I feel as though this book was way more than just sex, it was about how obsession and desire can obscure what is really going on in someone's head. I thought it was a good and powerful read.

I must say I really enjoyed it. I was so juicy and so interesting.
I’m not going to lie but I was low key enjoying the office visits, definitely a random way to meet a man but it’s was spicy!
Now the way it just let me wide mouth. I want more.
I know this could be a good story, it’s so more to unbox.
I loved it. 😍
This was an easy read. Definitely had some spice to it.
I just love the sexual tension between the FMC and MMC.
This story is giving fifty shades of West vibes!
The obsession West has for Jessica is wild! And I’m all here for it.

I enjoyed reading Dr. Adam West and Jessica Jones full story. It was a wild ride. Search for trigger warnings.

You change everything. Make me break all my rules.

This book had a really good start and it made me so excited to see where it went. Please check trigger warnings before you read. This is definitely a case of half insta lust and half almost pining I guess? The backstory between the two characters is interesting and I was super curious as to what would happen there, as well! Part II of the book is where the pacing really picked up, and it had me in a chokehold! Adam and Jessica’s different points of views in this were so much fun. The dynamics in this one were more familiar and seeing Jessica in West’s world was interesting.
This book had fantastic wrap-up! With that very specific thing finally happening, I was waiting very impatiently to see Jessica’s reaction and how the dynamic between her and West would progress from there. I especially enjoyed the way the author portrayed the third act breakup here and the reason for it, and it was fun getting to see more of Jess’s friends and her coworkers/students, as well as more Parker at the end! As a teacher myself, those scenes about the kiddos and their backgrounds really got me. The spice was spicing, the romance was romancing, West was West-ing and you know what? It was the perfect ending. Well done!

This book is a complete saga of epic proportions that will not only leave you satisfied but thoroughly gaga and emotionally spent, it’s so real feel . The edginess of their backstory and the way the dominance is created is both clever and engaging . Being so Immersed into their submissive,sensual and sexually explicit world and their fully rounded storyline is heavenly ,sublime and these beautifully crafted characters with backgrounds so vulnerable and deep.She’s called in for her yearly examination ,just routine ,though she isn’t looking forward to being seen ,in fact she has tried avoiding before ,even losing sleep. He cannot believe who just walked through his door. At first he wants to make miss popular pay but then has a think some more ,he’s taken an oath, anyway ,he’s giving her a thorough examination and she doesn’t turn him away. He cannot believe he’s getting to know her so well ,and how her inner core does swell too. Legs open wide stirrups attached ,there’s nowhere to go , nowhere to hide as he goes inside and examines , but she’s assured. It’s part of the treatment no alarm ,but ooh he does balm giving her an inner calm. But when she goes back ,for something that was remiss , was not on Dr. West’s list the last time she went, so no harm meant, there’s NO turning her away , because this time he’s in his element . He visits her tiny closet of a home too…..soon becomes her only friend ,when he saves her from her neighbour ,a fiend once her friend who wouldn’t let her say no in the end. He even tried breaking down her door! She moves in with the doctor for her own protection and he moves her. She is all submissive and horny as heck . But boy does she eventually have him at her beck …This Dominant is hers and she’s his to own. Moan and be punished,them’s the rules .Stay mum ,not a hum nor a murmur or else . He’s not revealed as much of himself to any other ,he’s shown her his depths and the scars . She sees stars with his expertise . He does tease her with the touch she loves so much. He’s into her ,thinks she’s great and she’s into him ,teaches him a thing or two too thanks to M . There are so many layers to these characters. Forced proximity with a safe word. Bet you can’t guess what it is…I digress ,where was I? Oh yes. Dark desire ,no holds barred heat .So hot and steamy and deliciously ramped up with the safe word she chooses, well it’s a real treat, oh so sweet and this comes topped with cream ,which when looked at it ,it’s really quite apt and fitting the bill. There’s desire that is on fire , lust and a thrill. Then there’s trust and obey he does say at will. There’s a vulnerability that shows through from both of them . Dr. Ward is getting more involved than he wanted to in the beginning. With this oh so many layered story I was ooh and argh and aah and ooh heat ,repeat ! I’m grinning. It’s got depths with the layers of these players. Told succinctly by Lexi Davis . An astoundingly brilliant storyline. The telling outstanding. A good time read of sex and need with a brilliantly beautiful story underneath.

Trust me when I say this book pulled me into the world of dark romance like nothing else. From the very first page, I was completely hooked. Adam and Jessica are such an intriguing pair—his mysterious, dark past and her love for who he really is make for a chemistry that’s absolutely electric. What I loved most was how Adam slowly opened up to Jessica, revealing the layers of his troubled history. It made their connection feel so raw and real.

This book isn’t just about the spice (though there’s plenty of that), it’s also a masterclass in storytelling, it has a great plot. The plot is so compelling, with twists and depth that keep you turning pages long after you should’ve gone to bed. And the author’s writing style? It’s perfection—rich, captivating, and impossible to put down. I honestly couldn’t get enough. If you love dark romance, this book is an absolute must-read. I’m already eagerly waiting for more from Lexi Davis—she’s a talent you don’t want to miss!
