Enemy On Her Hospital Ward / Second Chance With His Sunshine Surgeon
Troublesome doc in paradise! Nurse Tamara couldn't stand Fergus back in school. He was arrogant, obnoxious, and disastrously handsome. A reunion? No thanks! Not after divorce left her self-esteem in tatters. She's infuriated to find herself trapped on a plane with him, headed to the same Vanuatu hospital. But Fergus seems different now, and much harder to hate. As they work side-by-side in the Pacific, Tamara sees the vulnerability he's hiding. Can she trust he's changed enough to help her save lives and show him her battered heart?

My second Mills & Boon Medical! I love any sort of hurt/comfort, and there's something about hospital or doctor's surgery settings as romantic backgrounds that makes me swoon. Maybe partially due to being a chronic illness girlie, hoping someone will love me even with such baggage! Interesting that most M&B Medicals tend to focus on staff/staff relationships, when doctor/patient has some delicious potential for power balances and hurt/comfort. Anyway. Onto the stories at hand!
Enemy On Her Hospital Ward - ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
I must say Fergus being in gyneacology and having such an interest in childbirth set my teeth on edge. He isn't written to be creepy about it, that's just a personal hangup of mine, and thankfully it's mentioned multiple times how female patients can feel uncomfortable with male doctors, especially for intimate matters. Which is where Tamara comes in to put them at ease! I love her, fighting through her own personal pains and still helping people. The mutual angsty pining between Tamara and Fergus was great.
Second Chance With His Sunshine Surgeon - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I've never been able to decide if I enjoy slow-burn romances or not, probably because I haven't read much - as an impatient person, I was surprised to find myself enjoying it here! I liked how gentle Emile was and how his and Chloé's mutual pining and pasts are revealed bit by bit. I liked how their cool distance at the beginning didn't have a trace of animosity and didn't go ham on the angst. It's nice sometimes, but the change was refreshing here! Although I have to gripe with some repitition in the prose, if I had a penny for every time "pink tinged Chloé's cheeks", or some very slight variation of that, I'd be able to afford the whole Mills & Boon Medical 2026 collection. Chloé's silent strength was admirable, she utterly girlbossed every surgery scene, and she was a nice contrast to Emile's closed-offness, yet I like how he retained his gentility and was never aggressive or using his trauma as an excuse to be a dick. And the back and forth teasing was adorable, how it retained a balance of professionalism and familiarity.
Both pleasant, fun reads, with the much-needed helping of accurate medical terminology and procedures. I'd love to read more from both Sue MacKay and Amy Ruttan!
