Right Name, Wrong Man
What’s a girl to do when she whispers another man’s name in her fiancé’s arms? When forbidden dreams about the sexy French Dr. Yves Malroux assail her at every turn, Mary-Beth puts her wedding plans on hold. The man would probably not even remember the plump nerd she was three years ago, before she lost her illusions faster than her pounds. Regardless, to be able to marry her fiancé without any reservations, Mary-Beth needs to confront her past, and flies to France for a summer training program in surgery with Yves. But Yves never forgets an organ he removed from a patient or a woman he dated. And he never forgot the pretty student of Harvard Medical School who has turned into a stunning beauty, and now seems in serious need of coaching about spicing her serious life with some fun and passion. While too many questions still swirled in her mind, her jealous fiancé summons her back home. Will Mary-Beth let her heart decide who’s her right man? Will Yves break his no-strings-attached rule to offer love and commitment? * * * * “Mona Risk writes heroes with heart, heroines with spunk, in stories and settings that are simply unforgettable.” Roxanne St. Claire, NY Best Selling author. “Mona Risk knows how to pull a reader into the minds of her well-crafted characters.

Chubby medical student, Mary Beth, falls in love with handsome French surgeon, Yves; they have a one night stand, he goes back to France, her heart is broken. Fast forward 3 years – she has lost the excess weight, is engaged to the chief of surgery and realizes she still loves her French surgeon. Mary Beth accepts a summer surgical residence at Yves’ hospital hoping she will realize she does not love him. Needless to say, things do not go as she planned. Although the outcome was predictable I enjoyed this book – the getting to the HEA was a fun read.

What an easy book to read, The story flowed as we learn about why, after a night of love-making, Dr Mary-Beth whispers another man's name to her fiancé. The other man is a famous French physician who offers residencies in his French hospital that includes occupancy at his beautiful chateau, Marancourt. Seeing as how their one unforgettable night years before has haunted Mary-Beth, she decides that to move forward she needs to step back. Her ambitious, older fiancé is all for her getting this wonderful experience and pushes her to accept the appointment." What's three month in the big scheme when you will reap such benefits?" The biggest benefit would be to delete Yves from her memories and be able to move on with her life. Except that the moment she sees him again, she remembers why she fell for him years before. Now she needs to learn why he left her flat, no letters, no calls, nothing….why he broke her heart.
Yves had treated her the same as he did all the others he'd romanced, but she'd stayed in his mind. Too bad he doesn't recognize the slim beauty now from the chubby idolizing girl in his past. Treat yourself to a wonderful, well-written story.

Right Name, Wrong Man started with Mary-Beth calling her intended by the wrong name at the height of passion. Three years earlier she fell for a famous visiting doctor from France but he left her after one very special night and not only broke her heart but her spirit too.
Now three years later she is engaged to a man old enough to be her father and with her subconscious revelation she starts to question her current situation and plan to marry safe dependable and controlling Steve. This sets up the story line for this novel, as Mary-Beth takes a three month training under Dr. Yves Malroux, the man she loved three year earlier.
The story includes lots of training as a surgeon, staying at Yves's chateau, making friends in the community, starting a help group of overweight patients, breaking off an engagement, getting to know Yves again and an accident.
The romance is full of humor, deals with serious health issues and ends happily with a twist at the end too. I enjoyed the mix-up of Yves for Steve and how it kept creeping back into the story.

This is a fun and quick read that I picked up as part of a box set. I've always loved medical romances, so a box set all about Doctors? I'm totally in!
This is actually one of my favourites from the set. The story is sweet and the characters are easy to relate to. The story is fairly unoriginal, but this type of comfortable story was just what I needed at the time. Normally, I'm not really into second chance romance, but this story is just the perfect amount of comfort and sweetness. I couldn't help but root for Yves and Mary-Beth.
The characters were fleshed out well enough to make the story easy to follow, but I would have enjoyed to read a little more about our hero and heroine's personality outside of their medical personalities. There was some, but not quite enough to make them as easy to relate to as I would have liked.
Note: I read this as part as the Doctor's Ordered box set, but reviewing each book seperately.

A very enjoyable read. Though medical romances are not my most favored sub-genre I enjoyed this one. It was a heartwarming story-the separation and then meeting up again of the lovers not a conflagration- more of a slow burn. Mona Risk takes the reader into the environment of the hero, Yves the French Count. What more could Mary-beth want? She progresses her career, and her love life, in the French countryside. Mary-Beth might have whispered the wrong name to her former lover but she knew who she really wanted! And I can't blame her. (I'm not sure I liked Dr. Galt though Mona portrayed him very well!)

Be safe or take a chance? We'e all come to this particular crossroads before. Right Name, Wrong Man takes us on a journey through surgeries, clinics, wineries, French chateaus, and Paris. MaryBeth questions whether duty and obligation are enough for her; sexy Yves wonders if he can truly love again. Emotionally satisfying and great scenery to boot.

Love how this story unfolds! Mary-Beth tries to convince herself she wants a 'reliable, steady man' only to come face to face with the man she truly loves. I enjoyed the angst on both sides; Yves has been scarred by his past AND the relationship history in his ancestors. And LOVED Hubert the butler's side story! Very well done, Mona!

Great sexy premise but the sexual interactions between the two characters were a bit 'old-school romance novel' for me. Still, those who like an obscenely rich, gorgeous French surgeon as a hero will be well pleased!

Its not that I didn't like this, I just didn't love it. It was ok. The characters were ok. I didn't feel a connection to either of them. In fact my favorite character would have to be Hubert, the butler.

I'm not a huge reader of category romance and this is definitely a category romance. It has a Harlequin feel, especially with the foreign locale. It was a quick and enjoyable read.

Sweet, romantic book. This was a great way to pass the evenings while my husband was out of town for a couple nights! Made me crave his return all the more--if that was possible!
