Nurse Bridget Valentine and Resident Simon Hogue have some serious sexual tension, attraction, and chemistry.
Bridget is a widowed mom holding everything together. Simon is a bit younger and a temporary transplant from England who is finishing up his residency. Due to their current circumstances their situation is a bit complicated. 

Their banter is flirty, fun, and positively dripping with sexual innuendo. Simon is outgoing, witty, charming, and a dirty talker. He could continually make her blush and laugh. She's more level headed, analytical, scared, and responsible, but she also has a goofiness and sense of humor about her too. And she was really in need of ending her sexual drought. They dance around it. They try to avoid it. They know it is a bad idea. But...He wants her. She wants him. And when the truth really comes out, they are both surprised and  terrified. 

Will she risk a chance getting more attached to someone who's supposed to leave? And will he push it knowing that he can hurt her and it is a lot more responsibility than he was looking for?

This is a fast-paced, flirty, dirty, rom com with humor, swoon, a bit of angst, and lots of feels. And this writing duo also managed to throw in some surprises I never expected. I really liked both Simon and Bridget. Simon was just this great mix of dirty and sexy, but also adorable and swoonworthy...bonus points for the accent and terminology. And Bridget was easy to relate to. They were both fun, lovable, and good people, although they seemed to be in different places in their lives with diverging plans and goals. 

But sometimes a little complication is not always a bad thing. Some of the best  things require patience, thought, and stepping outside your comfort zone. The best laid plans often go awry...and that just makes it more interesting.  I was drawn right into this one and read it in one sitting. It was entertaining and fun, but also layered in heartfelt emotions and hope. Another great collab from these two authors. 

I was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest review.
