Remedy: Love In Scrubs

by Shay Davis

Orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Aries Yerba, knows he’s smart, talented, and one of the best orthopedic surgeons not only at St. Ambrose, but in the county. So, when his abilities are questioned in the form of a medical malpractice lawsuit, anger and frustration looms as he is forced to shift his focus from his regular routine, to defending his name. Things may have come at Dr. Yerba fast, and out of the blue, but he knows he’s the best, and refuses to be broken.

Attorney, Skylar Wise, doesn’t particularly care for Dr. Yerba, but her job is to defend malpractice claims to the best of her abilities. And while Dr. Yerba is cocky and self centered, she trusts her research; research that states Dr. Yerba has a perfect record. So, Skylar is more than ready to stand her ground against an ambulance chasing attorney, who's looking for a quick pay day.

A remedy should be simple for these two, but the late nights and long weekends they share ignites a flame that blurs lines, and a steamy connection is instantly made. While the medical malpractice suit started out as their main focus, Aries and Skylar soon realizes they are also the remedy to one another's closed-off hearts as well.

I wish there was more to the story like the rest of the series but a good read no the less!!!

I don't know, man. Very wham, bam, thank you ma'am, now we're in love. Sure, this was a novella but how are y'all in love already? He didn't even remember her from high school. Just seemed like lust and nothing further. There was no indication that he wouldn't pull a Samsonite Man on her like he did to previous women. And the conflict of the story was resolved with the flick of a wrist. It was funny and spicy, but felt incomplete.

[Jenae]

Unfortunately this was very underwhelming for me. Nothing of note, considering romance pining and all, happened until 60 percent in the book. There was no real chemistry between the characters. I’m being told they are feeling each other but I didn’t see it…at all. I also felt like maybe a quick google hell bing search would have been good. Like I get it’s fiction yadah yadah yah but a hospital lawyer can’t just cancel surgeries. Imagine needed life changing surgery and a hospital lawyer just happens to cancel it because of a maybe malpractice suit. 🫩 . There wasn’t really anything romantic that happened the whole case thing took up far too long of the book with no real progression of their relationship to make up for the fact that the book was only 120 pages. It takes 80 pages for a kiss that is oddly placed? Not to mention Skyler having a crush on this man for 20 plus years and they have not interacted since hs?! And he didn’t even remember her? Are you not embarrassed?!

(2.75⭐️) Not too much drama. It was a bit of a slow burn. It took them over half the book to stop fighting their feelings. A slow burn isn’t necessarily a bad thing but when you don’t have that many pages to work with, it lasted a bit longer in my opinion. At any rate, I didn’t really feel anything in their romance. I feel like it was more lust than anything else. I also think the resolution of his malpractice suit was very anticlimactic. Also I wish more was done to kind of play up their missed connection in high school. You’ll enjoy if you like arrogant MMC’s & a boss FMC.

['The Book Queen']

Yes,Yes,yes, it was a sexy read...

[Renada Boddie]

What happened

I enjoyed this until the end. It just ended, it felt like I’m missing a part of the book. We didn’t get an epilogue or any follow up just The End!!!

Crushed No Groove

Sigh 😔, crushed no groove to this installment of “Love in Scrubs” series finale‼️…Well, “Remedy: Love in Scrubs” (3.75 ⭐️’s) was classic Shay Davis. Unfortunately, the hyper sensual, adult activities, non committal, recklessness & irrational behaviors (from two seven figure professionals) all for the principles of ego, variety & a daily dose of nut butter. Really 🥴⁉️I expected more substance from the book, the series & for the characters Atty. Skylar Wise & Dr. Aries Yerba. …Black Urban Professional people (referred to as Buppies in my youth🤩🤭), we are better than these clichés, myths, narratives and or the stereotypes. …No better, do better & thrive more 🤷🏾‍♀️‼️

Loved it

The only issue with this book was it wasn't long enough. I liked the tension between Skylar and Aries. They were both so much alike yet so different. Bit when they came together explosive chemistry was out of this world. Aries brother was hilarious...not him always falling in love...mind you it def run in the fam...cause Aries was stuck on ms. Lawyer ma'am 💜💜😊

[ReadnliftwithShar]

🔥

The audiobook was fantastic! The good doctor and his lawyer bae! What a time! I love a good workplace romance; the sparks were flying miles away. And then add in the fact that Skylar and Aries were former classmates.. it’s like the nerd and the jock. 🤭I really wouldn’t mind more of them because this story wasn’t long enough! 🫡

[Keesha]

She’s the hospital’s lead counsel. He’s a hotshot orthopedic surgeon. Forced proximity! Their chemistry is off the charts and come to find out they have a secret connection. Easy Peasy and it’s a good audiobook.

[Dai Burton]

This has so much potential. I was disappointed.

[Rhapsody Phoenix]

This is actually a 2.5🌟 for me. (They don't allow the inbetween ratings, so I round up)/ A playboy (F.Boy) at 40 is not sexy. I just can't get behind it. While I know this is "Romance" for me, it just NOT sexy. I need characters to be more than the some total of their body parts and how they wield it. I need characters to have more substance and emotional intelligence for me to invest even temporarily. I just couldn't invested in Dr. Aries Yerba, not even "hypothetically", there simply was no growth. What's between his legs just cant be all there is to his identity. The lack of credible moral or emotional foundation made it difficult for me to invest in him. Perhaps if Dr. Yerba's character was developed more, provide a bit of grit and emotional grounding, I could take the leap with the author but, a 40 year old "playboy (F.Boy) to a committed partner feels to manufactured. Cause fantasy or no, no playboy (F.Boy) goes from sinner to saint in 2.03 seconds flat.

The Love I'm Scrubs series are goods reads, some better than some, as to be expected but the Miraculous turn around of some of the male protagonists in their late 30s/40s from fu*k-boys, into seemingly monogamous upstanding men clauled by the lure of of one distinctive pu*sy, nah... not believable. Interesting read though. I say interesting because I finished it!

Remedy: Love in Scrubs by Shay Davis

Book Besties… this one was short, spicy, and straight to the point. 🔥



Dr. Aries Yerba is one of the best orthopedic surgeons in the country. Smart. Talented. Confident. Maybe a little too confident. As Chief of Orthopedic Surgery at St. Ambrose Hospital, his reputation is everything… until a medical malpractice lawsuit threatens to destroy it.



Now instead of focusing on the operating room, he’s forced to fight to protect his name.



Enter Attorney Skylar Wise.



Skylar isn’t exactly Dr. Yerba’s biggest fan. In fact… she finds him cocky, self-centered, and completely infuriating. But defending him against these malpractice claims is her job—and she’s determined to do it well.



What Dr. Yerba doesn’t realize?

Skylar remembers him… even if he doesn’t remember her. 👀



As they spend long nights and long weekends working through the case, tension turns into something else entirely. The chemistry between them starts to blur professional lines… and suddenly the case they’re fighting isn’t the only thing on the table.



What starts as a legal defense slowly turns into something their hearts didn’t know they needed.



✨ Quick read

✨ Workplace tension

✨ Enemies to lovers vibes

✨ Chemistry that sneaks up on you

10/10 Recommend.

Not afraid of the big bad doctor

I love that Skylar wasn't afraid of the big bad doctor. She matched his energy and won, getting him to concede for his own good. Aries is a very good surgeon but his attitude can be off putting with his arrogance. He don't have to be quiet and meek but he doesn't have to be rude either. His position doesn't make you above anyone else and I love that Skylar enjoyed ruffing his feathers and putting him in check. But that energy soon gives off and combusts in a healthy way for them both. Skylar is a beast with her legal skills and she had his best interest and his back while protecting his career. I enjoyed banter between them throughout and enjoyed this story.

Remedy: Love In Scrubs

Too cute. I have truly enjoyed this series. The doctors are fine, skilled, and arrogant while the women are bold, beautiful, and love a challenge.

Skylar was that girl. She knew taking this case was going to be more than she needed especially with Dr. Yerba, but she loves a good challenge.

Aries didn't remember Skylar from high school, but loved the fact that she could give as good as she got. He was no match, and that intrigued him.

Great ending to the series. I wished it was longer.

[Ruby]

Aries and Skylar!!

Aries and Skylar came in contact since Skylar is the hospital attorney for a medical malpractice case filed against him. Skylar was attracted to Aries in high school, but she wasn't noticeable to him. After they started working together, it wasn't long before an attraction grew more and more. Aries met his match with Skylar. I loved how even though Aries was an alpha male, he was able to give up some of his control to Skylar at work and in the bedroom. Enjoyed it from beginning to end!!

[Mayas]

Loved it

Shay, I must admit that the word count had me nervous. However, you proved me wrong as the story was well developed and engaging. I loved Skylar because her mouth was slicker than a snicker and she gave Aries the business.

It was the banter for me. Also, how both of them excelled in their field and had every right to be confident and cocky.

This was a great book and the turtle reference went over my head until Aries voiced it.

[NATASHA COLEMAN]

Guilty of loving you

Skylar had a crush on Aries since high school but he never even paid attention enough to even know she existed. Their paths cross later in life when she has to be his attorney for a malpractice lawsuit filed from one of his patients. She tried her best to keep things professional trying to keep her feelings hidden. But Aries makes that hard for her when he finally is able to notice her beauty. He's just as attracted to her as she is to him.

[Ella Shannon]

I want MORE!!

I loved this book but unfortunately once Skylar started the case it was rushed. The characters were well played but it just didn't give you anymore of them being together than the SEX!! If it wasn't for them eating those two meals together they didn't exist. I wanted her dad to meet this new man and her best friend Mackenzie to know about him. It's a very good read that leaves you with THAT'S IT.

[Savannah R]

This was a good, short read. I honestly hadn't expected it to be so short, and I wish it would've been a bit longer. The storyline was good but I think we could've seen more! I will say I love how Skyler and Aries both felt their attraction and didn't spend too long fighting it lol. It was a quick lil "lemme stay strong", that went to "we shouldn't", then immediately after to "fuck it, let's do it" lmao.

[Andraea Mims]

This book was so good! A relatively quick read without sacrificing quality. I loved the banter between Dr. Yerba and Skylar. One of the things I loved about the story is that you have a very dominant man that is used to controlling any and all situations, but did not shy away from humbling down to the right woman. Of course there was a little resistance, but he fell in line lolol. That just shows that giving your power to the right person does not make you weak. Great job!!

[Valencia Michelle]

This one was too short for my liking. I've been reading this series and all of them sucked me in and kept me fully engaged except this one.

The sexual tension between Skylar and Aries was noteworthy, however I really needed more. I definitely expected more drama from the lawsuit as well as the character Ashley. Everything just felt too clean lol yes that's an odd thing to say but if you've read other books in this series, you'll understand.

Good read but it needed more.

[Shonta]

The Remedy To All My Problems

This was a cute and spicy enemies to lovers romance. Skylar was the solution to a looming problem Aries had hanging over him. He was used to being in control and running things. Skylar remained unfazed by his methods she knew he needed her and tamed him in ways professionally and personally that he had never had but he soon loved. It was definitely worth the read and cute. 10/10

[Ms. LVW]

Doc on deck…

Listen… Remedy was giving smart and sexy with a fine doctor fighting for his name and the bawsed up lawyer who was supposed to save him. The tension was sizzling mixing professionalism with passion and add some comedy funny moment made this a fun read that had me smiling, blushing, and rooting for them the whole way through.

[Readingizmytherapy]

Unexpected!

This book took me by surprise. I didn’t expect the underlying elements that showed up during the interaction between Aries and Skylar. In order to find out what that is you have to read the book. Just know the Author did a good job of showing how something beautiful can happen when you open up to the unexpected!

[Lisa L. Simon]

Great Story

Funny how arrogant people are often made due to how they are treated as not being enough even after proving themselves. I loved the story, the back and forth banter and how you never know that not seeing a person in one setting could potentially turn into something unimaginable. You have a new reader. Thank you for allowing God to use you for His glory.

[Lisa]

Great read!

Aries didn't remember Skylar from high school as she was a geek, he was the big man on campus, but when a bogus lawsuit is filed against him, she's the hospital lawyer assigned to his case. She's always had a crush on him and when a night turns steamy, they realize they could be more than client/ attorney. In the end they win in love and the case. Great quick read!

[Brandy Smith]

Skyler Wise was a lawyer who was sent to represent Dr. Aries Yerba an arrogant surgeon who thought he was untouchable in a legal matter. Unbeknownst to Dr. Aries Skyler had been crushing on him since high school. They both got under each other's skin at first but somehow could not stop thinking about it other. This was a really cute story.
