Being a doctor is Glover Israel’s passion. He tends to his patients like they are his children and takes pride in providing excellent care. He doesn’t have a good reputation among hospital staff, because he requires the same level of service from them toward his patients as well. Having to financially take care of his paraplegic father leaves little time for much of anything outside of work. The only things he can seem to find time for are carnal pleasures. He’s not looking for a relationship or anything close to love. So, he makes his rounds through potential candidates at will . . . until he literally bumps into Delaney Boutté.
Loving the wrong man can be hard to overcome emotionally. Delaney Boutté learns that lesson the hard way. When her relationship starts to fizzle and she finds out about her boyfriend’s philandering ways, she chooses to get even. Doctor Glover Israel seems to be the perfect candidate, since he has the reputation of being the womanizer of St. Ambrose Memorial Hospital. She knows he’s attracted to her, and physically, she’s attracted to him too, but she knows her heart isn’t ready for anything more than the carnal pleasures he’s known for indulging in.
Through their interactions at the hospital, the two quickly realize that there is more to their attraction than the physical aspect of it. Glover has nothing to lose by going for it, but Delaney feels her heart can’t withstand any more disappointment or heartbreak. Can the man that has avoided his feelings for so long convince the woman of his dreams that he’s ready for something real, or will she leave him to the proverbial streets from whence he came?
Starting with poetry, writing has always been a constant in Monica's life. The interest began in her teenage years, being in love for the first time. Her love for writing has only progressed. Song lyrics and poetry led to short stories, then one day in her down time, a short story became a 56k word novel. It has been non-stop since then. Being a wife and mother, has only added to the joys of Monica's life. Attaining a BS in Sociology, helping her better understand people and their behaviors, has only helped her become a better writer, understanding characters and their complex personalities. Romance of all types has been her passion, and she plans to continue honing her skills in that genre.
Delaney was thriving in her career at the hospital. However, her personal life was taking a hit. She had an inkling that her boyfriend was stepping out but wasn't quite sure. She did know one thing, if he was cheating, she was gone! Well, her women's intuition was spot on, and while preparing her exit, she would enjoy some get back! 😜
Dr. Glover Israel was the best of the best. Although his temperament with the staff may not show as such, he cared deeply for his patients. Also, a ladies' man, who had a reputation that would make most sane women run the other way. When he bumps into Delaney, instantly feels her energy, making him want this woman and not understand why! No woman had ever made him feel the need to chase, so he knew this one was special.
Their coupling was fast, but you could feel the love brewing. Just a tad of drama, and a sweet love story. I loved Glover's dad. He was a riot. 🤣 Good read. 👍🏿👍🏿
Let me just put it out here in the first sentence. This series is going to be 🔥. I am officially two books in and anticipating the next book. Somehow, you ladies have managed to write about educated thugs. I can tell that Dr. Glover could change a man life if he stepped to his loved ones sideways. I am absolutely here for it all. I am fully invested in this medical series because I have been in healthcare for years.
I love how Dr. Glover can go from being free as a bird but in the same breath, ready to settle down. It truly takes finding your person to change your life. Dr. Glover and Destiny had a couple of exes who didn't know how to let go. Those exes were just stepping stones to their forever. They both learned what they didn't want in a partner. Dr. Glover fell quick and hard for Destiny. That poor donut he was eating didn't have a chance. They deserved each other because both needed to be properly loved. Dr. Glover had his plate full from his father's health, but he was determined to take care of him. His work ethic was top notched with all the rounds he did. Destiny gave him a small chase, and he was running right behind her. They got their happily ever after with both families in tow, that is what makes it worthwhile. Plus, Dr. Glover's father attitude changed about his will to live. It was a win-win situation for all parties involved.
Ladies and gents, this is the one and only Monica Walters. We know she doesn't disappoint and always execute the assignment. Therefore, grab your copy today.
P.S. Since Leandria is back home and working at the private practice, is her person going to find her. I would say she could hook up with one of Dr. Glover's boys, but he didn't have any. Umm, it just a thought 🤔 I would love to read about her falling in love.
I love this story. When you meet the right person for you, everything that happened before them don't matter. Dr. Glover owned who he was and his past because he was working and living his single life, telling women upfront what it is. He tells the truth no matter what it looks or sounds like. And when him and Delaney literally bump into each other, his whole life changed, well theirs. She faced some heartache and heartbreak, but she beats her ex at his own game and then levels up in the best way for her. She was running from her future based on her current situation and how she was raised. But I'm so glad that she realized the downward spiral she was on before accepting help. I love Dr. Glover's relationship with his dad, who kept me laughing. Doc definitely gets it from his dad. LOL And his new life gave his father hope and something to live for. I didn't like Delaney's parents at first but I'm glad that they were able to repair their relationships. They went round and round but they finally got on the same level and was blessed more than they thought was possible. I enjoyed this story and definitely recommend.
Not Dr. Glover Israel out here being pegged as a serial humper, only to get taken out the game by overhearing a woman having a sweet convo with a patient. Whew...plot twist I didn’t see coming, but it made for a good time!
At first glance, it’s giving: heart of gold wrapped in a bed-hopping problem. But as you keep reading? You start to see Glover’s layers and maybe he’s not just the dude chasing a good time.
Enter Delaney Boutte', who has plenty going on already. She is not trying to be another one of Dr. Israel’s “rounds.” But when her live-in boyfriend starts moving funny (and then slips up), it’s like the universe said: “Let’s bump her right into something better.” And that Dr. Bump? Might just be exactly what she needed to launch her single-girl era.
I was cracking UP watching Mr. “I don’t want a relationship” go full “you’re mine now” after one encounter. Like sir… relax. 😅 But it wasn’t just Delaney’s body, though don’t get it twisted, that did not disappoint. It was her spirit that pulled him in. And he had no choice but to answer that call.
These two keep bumping into each other, and it becomes clear: this might be bigger than just convenience or timing. Fate was plotting hard.
One of my favorite parts? Watching how Glover cared for his father. All the sacrifices he made didn’t turn him bitter he did it from a place of love. That kind of character development? Chef’s kiss.
Delaney’s sweet nature showed in how she treated her patients, and it made sense why she stood out to Glover so fast.
✨ If you’re into flawed but redeemable men, career-driven women with heart, and workplace romance that balances real-life mess with grown love... Give it a read. You’ll enjoy it.
(3.5⭐️) This was a cute and very fast moving love story. Glover was a self proclaimed man wh—e that didn’t want anything serious…until he found Ms. Delaney. And baby, when he found her, he refused to come up off her!! For me he came off just a little too strong for my liking considering she had just gotten out of a long term relationship & was nursing a broken heart but I guess their attraction was too strong. Despite that, I did like that he was clear in his intentions for her but was he was patient & understanding with her even though he had a very brief moment where his ego tried to take over. Aside from Delaney healing from her ex, and learning to not be so hyper independent, she also had some family stuff to address and it was nice to see that play out for her. I just wish that Glover was able to lay hands on Delaney’s ex. He got off too easy 🙄
I'm rating this book as a 4 only for 1 reason...The characters didn't give me the energy that the book was trying to portray them to have. It was almost like a false identity. I didn't know who I was getting. Monica wrote a damn good book so this was hard. I could tell that Dr. Isreal knew what he wanted and went after it. She didn't give as hard of a time as she tried. She gave in pretty easily if you ask me. Out of the entire book I fell in love with Gideon (Dad). He gave the book something that it was missing.
This book was everything! Dr. Glover Israel was the man in all ways, while he had a reputation for “sleeping around” he was also a man who knew what he wanted and how to treat his woman. The love he had for his father was just so sweet.
Delaney didn’t make it easy for Glover, she had her heartbroken by her slimy ex but once they both fell it was nothing but pure bliss and love. Definitely recommend.
4.5 ⭐️ Glover & Delaney, beautiful couple! They were definitely made for each other! The way Glover treated Delaney was 👩🏾🍳 💋 😘! This was a quick little one ☝🏾 two, but so worth the read!
I’m glad Laney got her happiness. And Glover too. He was stressing me out between his job and dad. Laney had me stressed with her boyfriend. I wanted to fight everybody for bothering them.
The good doctor set his sights and played no games. This was such a sexy and loving story showing how love can conquer all. As usual, Miss Monica did not disappoint.
I absolutely loved this love story. It brought so many emotions to head for me. Their love came on abruptly, happened quickly, but was meant to be. I enjoyed every read
Didn’t love this book but also didn’t hate it . I feel like it’s missing something. One thing I can say is that Gideon made this book definitely kept us laughing 😭… every bet he won and got what he asked for lol. Glover knew what he wanted and despite his reputation wasn’t going to stop until he got it. Once our girl got a taste she was not gon let up on that man lol. Glad that she was able to repair the relationship with her parents and they took accountability on their part.
When a man knows what he wants and will stop at nothing to get it… You know you are in for a wild and sexy ride! Glover locked on to Delaney and it was all over. Monica Walters took us through the ups and downs of these two and my heart felt for both of them, because they battled so much just for a slice of happiness.
I will admit that I agreed with the title given to Glover at the beginning of this book because my man was for the streets. However, when he saw Delaney for the first time he was gone. Delaney was such a sweet character and even though she had a rough go of it she pushed through until she couldn’t, and guess who was there to catch her when she fell? You guessed it…Big Glover 😆 These two had chemistry from their first meeting and it was explosive; so explosive I found myself wondering when they had time to work because babbbby back shots were a daily requirement😏
This read was somewhat tame to others I’ve read by this author. Yes, we encountered the drama/bitter exes🙄 but they took a back seat to the love blooming, acceptance of one another, and Mr. Gideon Israel because that man is a whole fool. I would love to see more of him and his bets in the future. All in all, this is another five-star read because we all know Monica Walters never misses. This book is in a series collaboration with other great authors so I can’t wait to dive into the other books!
This book put an ache in my heart and a reopened a hole in my soul!!!…I was Delaney with 2 children, constantly trying to make things work without others help!!!…Struggling in silence is a real thing and because you were raised to not need anyone or hearing that you are strong enough to get through it!!!… This book was so beautifully written and tugged at your heart strings!!!…There was so much to take away from this book and appreciate if you were given the love and affection from your parents!!!… I was so happy that Delaney allowed Glover to help her and he had the where with all to spk to her in way that she was willing to trust & allow someone to help her!!!…I felt that tumble she took in that parking garage and sometimes a fall and good cry is what you need!!!… I loved Glover’s father and was so happy that he found purpose while accepting that his son still loved him and didn’t blame him for having to take care of him!!!… Jaunte’ irked my nerves!!!…He messed up his relationship and then had the nerve to be in his feelings and stalking Delaney as if she did him wrong!!!… Charleigh was a walking thorn and I was glad her cover was blown because she was doing too much!!!…
Delaney and Glover's chemistry was amazing throughout this entire book. They both came into each other's lives when it was necessary. With Glover caring for his dad and struggling with dealing with his condition, and Delaney having to pick herself up after her ex made a fool of her. Their attraction to each other was to be just the physical but hearts want what they want. Glover was taken with Laney before he got a taste of her that only amplified it. I really loved that he was persistent in his pursuit of Laney and that it came from a genuine place. I understood why Delaney was so overly cautious as to not get hurt again, and that was causing her some turmoil, but I also loved that she finally accepted Glovers help and saw that if she continued to do what she was doing it was going to get worst. Gover'd dad was def much needed comedic relief, but I also loved that Delaney and Glovers happiness finally gave him a reason to want to keep living. THE 2 EXES CAN GO TO HELL😏. Laney parents finally trying to do better was good to see as well. I just really loved this book. The Chemistry was so raw and real, but i wouldn't expect less from Ms. Walters!!💜
Loved it! Dr Glover Israel went full throttle after Delaney. He was definitely intentional in his pursuit of her, which was not based single handedly on sex. She had the full package of substance needed to nourish a relationship.
Delaney once realizing that she was worth more than that no good ex put her through, had to get herself together before she had a full-blown mental breakdown. Once she got over her stubbornness to accepting help, she was able to move on to trusting her decisions in men. Eventually, opening her heart to real love.
Glover and Delaney's feelings and relationship moved quickly. When you know, you know. I loved his dad, Gideon! I was so glad that his perspective on life took a positive change. I admired how Glover took care of his father, in spite of the financial setback it may have caused him. He didn't mind because his dad was the only living parent that he had.
Mr Gideon claimed Delaney early on in his meeting her as the one for his son. Together, both Glover and Delaney helped his dad enjoy & extend an improved quality of life weekly (outside of nursing facility) with his new extended family.
This book is the perfect unwind after a long day, a sweet and steamy insta-love story that proves sometimes the best medicine is desire especially when a fine doctor is involved.
Glover, whew, baby was GONE over Delaney who was trying to figure her next steps in life and was swooped off her feet. Glover flatlined and only she could resuscitate him. The moment he claimed that puddy, bruh was lost, done for and every other doctor-chasing hot box might as well have been wheeled straight to the hospital morgue, because they were D.E.A.D.
The story gives you a mix of a little drama, tender moments, family healing, self empowerment and an ex who just can’t accept “it’s over” as gospel, but what did it first me was the way Glover shows up as a true romantic, showering Delaney with the kind of love affection and passion she’d been missing that had me swooning.
Get into this one, because the heat is only rising as more fine doctors are on the way in this multi-author collab, and baby I know it’s about to get even hotter.
If Monica doesn’t do anything else, she’s going to give us an instalove story that will have you rooting for the main characters to get their happily ever after and this story was no exception.
I liked Glover and Delaney together. They were a good match. I also liked that Delaney didn’t allow his rumored rep completely keep her from giving him a chance and that she realized she was hurting herself more trying to stay away from him because she was operating from a place of hurt. She allowed Glover’s actions and words to speak for themselves. I liked that Glover was so open emotionally with Delaney and understood his transparency with his feelings and intentions would win her over faster than being closed off.
While I really liked this couple, my favorite character might have been Glover’s dad. He kept me smiling and chuckling when he was giving Glover the blues or making bets with Glover to get food he was missing out on.
I love this book within the series. The hospital was the place of connection. Glovers and Delancy were able to see each in raw form to better understand who each other was.
Glovers and Delancy passion for each was amazing. I like how Glovers put his all into his work and family. He did lack a personal life until God placed Delancy in his path way.
I love how Monica allowed Delancy to go through ups and downs. Then, allow her to find true love. She learned through what she was taught. Depression is hard to deal with. Delancy was able to recognize that she was going through. Some people don't even acknowledge it.
Family hurts, loves, and recovering, growing, exploring forgiveness were the most important of the journey in this book. When you understand how your family structures develop who you are as an adult, you can either help or hurt you. I am so glad Glovers and Delancy were able to bring healing to the families. This resolution allowed them to become a family and grow.
I titled it Love Rounds because theses two didn't hesitate to get it in whenever, wherever. This love story is not without drama but Monica rids that quickly and without mess. It really revolves around one man’s persistence to have the other half of his heart to make him whole. Yes, he can have any woman he wants at anytime which has caused a certain reputation. He put in that work and when God said, girl stop running, He caused her to fall to her knees and recognize what was in front of her and for just her…hallelujah! Wanna know m favorite person? Mr. Gideon Israel…he was the spunk and fortune teller throughout. Loved that man and all he stood for. He never complained about his health, just missed his wife a lot. Glad he decided to hang around and meet the grands because he had me worried. Loved everything about this book. Refreshing again and brought me back to basics of why I love black romance. Great job Monica!!
I wanted to like this book so bad but unfortunately I just didn’t 😩 the first book I read in this series was Fever and I really enjoyed it so it made me want to finish the series. I DNF’d at about 82%, I tried my hardest to finish but I just couldn’t I liked the idea of the plot but felt like the characters kind of fell a little flat for me. I kinda wish Delaney had a direct line of connection to Glovers father’s health care to create a deeper connection between the two, like being a CNA or something like that for him and that’s how their relationship sprouts into something deeper and more meaningful. It just kinda felt all over the place with some sex thrown in, in my opinion. All is said with much respect to the author and maybe I just need to give a different book in her catalog a try !
Great read and love story! Glover was that man in every way, I love how he t!look care of his father and his patients, but he needed to find a relationship to bring some normalcy to his life! Delaney thought she found love, but Jaunte' was a fraud and didn't deserve her at all! One thing about Delaney she was going to be independent of any help at all cost, however Glover or Dr. Israel saw what he wanted and went for it! Delaney let Glover go several rounds with her.
They were forthcoming to one another, especially about pat relationships or jump off in Dr. Glover case! I enjoyed the family dynamics,Mr. Israel was knowledgeable and hilarious, Glover and Delaney m relationship brought him life! I love the ending and hope to see more!
I mean- when you know, you know! Doc had his fair share of… getting it in! But none of those women had his heart like Delaney! I mean- he claimed her almost immediately! Delaney and her cheating ex- whew! I’m happy she got up out of there, even tho the way he “put her out” was trifling! Like sir, she was leaving anyways! Glover’s story was sad and I was praying that his father did not give up after the mom died. He would have really been torn up! And what’s up with everybody being so stubborn! Mr. Isreal- your son is a whole doctor- why wouldn’t you let him help you pay for insurance! Crazy how pride works! Same with Delaney- just stubborn! All in all, this was a good book, a little spice in there- nothing too crazy! I would recommend!
Chile, poor Delaney was goin through it. She had a hoe ass boyfriend treating her like shit and she left and he had the nerve to be mad at her for catching him. Wild. Anywho Glover, the hospital hoe, done gone and caught feelings. Baby he said he knew from first contact that she was the one and he was gonna prove it and that he did!! Put Jaunte in his place and Put Charleigh in her place and immediately blocked her!
Dawg, when they were having dinner and they said they were waiting for Denver’s daughter, I KNEW it was Charleigh!! Like i just knew! She pissed me off but she was bout to get thrown across that table real quick!
I loved Glovers dad! He was a whole vibe. I was scared for his health for a bit. But he’s great! Funny as hell!
Well, accurately stated Dr. Glover most certainly gets around😏🤭🤦🏾♀️‼️Nonetheless, “Rounds: Love In Scrubs” wasn’t my favorite book released by Monica Walters & I didn’t care much for Delaney & Glover🙄. However, Mr. Gideon Israel (I affectionately referred to him as Papa G “The Goat” of this read). That man was cool 😎 as a cucumber, charismatic, hilarious and the resident snack charmer 🍪🍔🍟🤭‼️And the Grammy goes to….Mr. Gideon‼️ His character definitely earned the title of best supporting actor in a fictional book 📕 🏆. He saved the rating for “Rounds: Love In Scrubs”🤷🏾♀️‼️
I really liked the hospital setting as the back drop to this romance. I loved the dynamic between Glover and his father and how he stopped at nothing to take care of him.
I appreciated the fact that Delaney did not go back to her trifling ex and stood on business with getting him out of her life.
Now, Glover was definitely in these streets and running through these hoes and Charleigh was really trying to get some get back 🙄
Delaney was stubborn at times and getting on my nerves but I know her parents had a lot to do with that so I was happy to see her family come together and heal.
4.5 ⭐️. I was waiting for this one cuz I knew Monica Walters wouldn’t disappoint. The way I loved Dr.Glover Israel. He was tall, dark and arrogant, but when he ran into Delaney he became so sweet and intentional. He knew she was the one for him even when she was being a lil stubborn. Delaney was a wonderful woman but her ex put her through so now she’s tryna pick herself up without falling for Glover. That was a dub cuz Glover came to show up and show out. I enjoyed reading this. I would recommend.
