Matched with the Doctor

Lunchtime Romcoms #1

by Chrissy George

The last person she expected to see in the doctor’s office was the guy who broke her heart!

Colleen
I knew there was a reason my mother was pushing me to go get a physical – she had a plan to fix me up with my ex-boyfriend, the boy who broke my heart twenty years ago. Ben may be a handsome doctor now, but I don’t know if I can trust him when he says he wants a second chance.

Ben
When I moved back to the small town of Cedar Creek I figured there was a chance I’d run into Colleen, the only woman I’ve ever loved. One look at the curvy beauty and I’m head over heels in love again. I just need to convince her to take a chance on forever – and fortunately I’ve got a whole town of nosy matchmakers to help me.

It was a short and cute story

[R.S.05 · Rating 2 out of 5]

Yeah, unfortunately this wasn’t it for me.

This was a short romcom, described as a sweet and funny closed door romance - which it was.

The plot was ok, but it just wasn’t for me.

I found the storyline and characters boring.

For me personally, I felt no chemistry between our main characters, Colleen and Ben - and that’s crucial in a romcom.

Everything moved really fast, and I just didn’t feel a connection with the characters.

It was a struggle to get through the whole book, but I somehow did it, hoping that it would get better. Unfortunately it did not.

So, that leaves me here, not entirely satisfied with the book and story.

It had potential, but I felt like the execution was lacking.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was the shortest story I’ve ever read! STEM MMC medical doctor and curvy STEM FMC web designer. Second chance romance, closed door, love at first sight, and no third act breakup. I’m not one much to buy into love at first sight and since it was a short story it went too fast. But it was well written, short on details, no spice.

Matched with The Doctor Review

If you love a sweet almost arranged relationship by meddling family members this is the story for you, you’ll have to read and see if this small town helps these two people fall in love maybe all over again.
It’s sweet lighthearted hearted you ever hear of or experienced the right person at the wrong time well this doctor might have too!

But I definitely hate the name of the FMC i.e., COLLEEN

Short, sweet and to the point. The only thing I didn’t like - the second Epilogue. I feel like there could easily be nine books in this series but based on the epilogue, two are already not going to be written. Even if they are written, it feels like a surprise was spoiled.

4.5….Sooo cute. A adorable second chance at love. Ben and Colleen were once important to each other…then he left for college…medical school. Now Ben is back in town and Colleen is on his radar. This is a second chance at love with fun characters and sassy banter.

Super Sweet and clean

Super cute and sweet! It had me laughing in spots and giddy. 100% recommend this book if you need a pallet cleaning book. 💚

[Marla · Rating 3 out of 5]

No está mal, pero es una historia muy corta y basica para mi gusto. Sirve para matar el rato.

[Juanita❣️ · Rating 5 out of 5]

Short and Sweet.

I really enjoyed this super short romance! It was quick and to the point. No conflicts between the main characters which is refreshing.

short, sweet, and to the point.

Cringe

This one had more cringe highlights than love it highlights for me. MMC tone was controlling and more like a stalker than a dream man.

“Are you asking me to marry you because we had a fight and you feel bad about introducing me as your friend?”

Yes. He literally is.

2.6 stars..
Idk just didn’t vibe with me tbh

[Cody Eads · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book was good, but very predictable and too short. It would have been better if the plot had a little more conflict and went on for a little longer.

[Michelle Palmer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cute closed door, hallmark style second chance romance.
