My Thoughts:
AUTHOR DEBUT — 3 novella anthology, approximately 60 – 100 pages each.
THE INTERN –
Approximately 100 pages. Lauren is a mid-thirties, divorced general practitioner. Her ex-husband left her with the practice and all the bills. She gratefully allowed a buy-in partnership to alleviate some of the financial stress & now is taking on an intern as a favor to an old college friend. Only she doesn’t realize that she’s a he & he’s smokin’ hot! But she’s way too old for a young Adonis like him, isn’t she?
Courtney “Court” applies for a summer internship to determine if this is truly the path he wants to follow before he enrolls into med school. He’s attracted to his new boss in ways that he’d never imagined, but what chance does a kid have with an experienced woman?
A fun, quick story with humorous moments. The cast of characters were unique and enjoyable. Dialogue and interaction was great. The plot was fairly simple as many novella with not a lot of dynamics, but it flowed well nonetheless. The conflict gets thrown out and the results are fairly hot (but a little clinical). There was no predictability. The ending read like it was “wrapped up”, I was left feeling a bit confused and short-changed. Not your typical conclusion.
Score: 3.6, Stars: 4

MY DOCTOR, MY HUSBAND AND ME –
Approximately 65 pages. Valerie needs surgery on her foot to correct an old injury that did not heal properly and has been bothering her. She been married to Elliott for eighteen years and they have two teen children together. The marriage has not been without it’s faults, but they are happy. But now that she’s seen her doctor, she’s fantasizing of more.
Luka is the specialist that will perform her surgery. He’s handsome with a swoon-worthy bedside manner and hot, silky Eastern European accent. He’s attracted to her, but she’s his patient. Her wedding band hasn’t gone unnoticed either.
A proposal is made at her final appointment… an erotic proposal, a proposal she can only hope Elliott will go along with.
Lead female and her husband are in their early to mid-forties, the doctor about mid-thirties so they are a little older than typical characters. Characters are good, dialogue and interaction believable. The plot is thin, but flows smoothly. The sexual descriptions are sort of blunt and clinical; it does not come off as hot or erotic. There’s not a lot of conflict, no predictability. Again, the ending is written as if it’s a wrap, but you are left feeling cheated…
Score: 3.4, Stars: 3

SEIZE THE DOCTOR-
Approximately 75 pages. Earlier in the week, Nikki broke up with her boyfriend of a year after he’d cheated on her. Now her friends convince her to go out to the club with them to forget the jerk.
Hunter’s celebrating with his friend when he meets Nikki. After spending over an hour getting to know one another, her friends see his friends playing a numbers game (collecting girls’ phone numbers) and call the night off, dismissing the man-whore douches and their ridiculous “I’m a doctor.” lines.
Little did they realize…
Lead characters are great, seconds are good. Humorous and fun dialogue. The sex scene(s) is/are a bit funny with the over-exuberant commentary and jerking pole terminology, but at least it’s less clinical than the previous novellas were. Enjoyable, light plot with an easy flow. There was a mild conflict that was quickly resolved. Virtually no predictability. The conclusion was the most solid and satisfying of the three novellas. I enjoyed this one most.
Score 4.2, Stars: 4
