She has been approved to do her residency in the pediatric unit at Liberty Care Hospital.
However, things go wrong the very first day.
Her grumpy and very unapproachable supervisor suspends her.
Dante Guma is the ace of Liberty Care Hospital. The youngest professor and head of the pediatric unit. He prefers to work by himself but the hospital has a stipulation that he supervises new residents.
When he meets the new resident, he is very irritated by just her presence at the hospital because the first thing she does is go to his office, encroach on his personal space. That is something all the other residents know not to do.
He is glad for a reason to get rid of her, albeit temporarily. That is until he hears her speak and he is entranced.
Is he just having a sensory meridian response? Or is there more to it?
3.5 Stars Beware triggers for the novel. This was a good read. I would put it in the instalove category. Dante is a man with many oddities because of his childhood abuse. Despite this, he is still a strong man who has learn to laugh and comfort children and protect others. Leah is a kind hearted woman trying to succeed as a doctor and living on her own. She is also a woman who seems to attract the wrong men. This is a story of how a broken man finds his "fairy", the person who brings him comfort with just the sound of her voice. The reader gets flashes of Dante's past, but never the full story. There is mention of an orphanage and schools, but that is it. I wish this story was a little longer so that it could resolve the main conflict Dante was facing and give his full background. I view this more as a hfn than a hea.
I loved his therapist. He was hilarious. I would read another book by this author.
The story of Dante and Leah highlights the importance of finding someone who sees your value and isn't put off by your idiosyncrasies. Although they got off to a rocky start, things quickly changed when Dante realized he found comfort and relief in Leah's voice... Trauma due to child abuse and extreme bullying left Dante with lots of triggers and a need to have complete control over all aspects of his life. Despite his childhood trauma, or maybe because of it, Dante was an accomplished pediatrician and extremely good with children.. Leah becomes his muse. His reason to work at being a better, healthier man... I enjoyed this story and this series. I plan to look into NSN's catalog. I discovered her and this series during BRAE 2025.
This was such a ride. Packed with emotion yet funny at the same time. I think the fact that Dante was funny without intentionally meaning to made it all the more funnier😂.
And doc Faisal please😭😭😭 He's so unhinged, Help!!!! I binged the entire series and they're all emotionally gut wrenching while healing you at the same time?
The series titles is perfect.
I love when I discover an author and I just know that I am going to enjoy all their work.
I liked the plot of the book even though it was a bit predictable. I enjoyed the subtle theme of childhood trauma and how it affects a person's day to day life and how self aware a person has to be to acknowledge it and want to work on it.
I didn't like the flashbacks. That's just my personal preference because it gets confusing for me but it was alright in this book. I would usually opt out of a book because I don't want to keep track of two time periods.
I loved this book! Went in without any expectations or 100% sure what it would be about but Dante's past was so intriguing! I can't wait to read more from this author.
