From best-selling author Melanie A. Smith comes the first book in a new series of steamy contemporary medical romance standalone novels about life lessons that break all the rules.
What’s the first rule of nurse’s club? That’s right: Never date a doctor. Which Sasha Suvorin has no intention of doing anyway, since she’s a nurse at Rutherford Hospital by day and working on her master’s degree by night. Who has time for dating, much less dating someone you work with? Bad idea much?
That is, until the sexy British Dr. Caleb Thompson starts at her hospital. It also doesn’t help that he’s exactly her type with his dark hair, blue eyes, and rockin’ bod. Or that he’s not your typical arrogant and bossy surgeon. But Sasha isn’t so easily convinced, and she soon discovers Dr. Hottie has a past that puts a stop to whatever she might have been feeling before anything ever starts between them.
Unfortunately, working together means facing temptation. Every. Single. Day. Is Sasha strong enough to resist what might just be the perfect man? And if she gives in, will Cal’s past stay in the past? Sasha may be used to playing it safe, but life has a way of teaching its lessons … one way or another.

Melanie A. Smith is a new author to me and I must ell you that she hit this one out of the park. I laughed out loud at times while reading this book. It was hot and Melanie is certainly going onto my new favorite author list!
Nurses have one rule which is to “Never Date a Doctor”. Seems like a good rule to have right? Well Sasha blows that rule right out of the water when she begins a relationship with Cal. They both seem to fall hard for one another and we all know how messy love can be at the best of times. Add in jealously and a meddling busy body and you have the perfect storm.
This is certainly one of those romance where you find out just how strong you are both as a couple and on your own. There were a few moments when I wasn’t sure they would make it.

Sounds like a great book
Great review, Rita! This sounds like a well written and fun read overall! So happy you liked it! 🙂
Super hot cover and it sounds like my kind of read.
It sounds like something from Grey’s Anatomy, but much more intriguing.
Great cover. Since I received your newsletter today, I was hoping to use the bonus code for subscribers on this giveaway. :/
A book I know many people will enjoy to read.
I would LOVE to read this book! The synopsis sounds fantastic. …Now this is a personal thing, and I certainly don’t wish to influence anyone in terms of their dating choices. But to me, the cover kind of.. looks like a belated warning! 😝 I was working towards becoming a Dr., and casually dating a Dr. (in a very different field and setting— there are laws, and codes of ethics! 😛) who just happened to look like.. well, like this cover model.
So— TL;DR: This book must be packed with truisms. 🙂
I love steamy romances with humor. I’ll look into this one…I have purchased ones that you reviewed!
What a hot cover! whew!
Nice cover.
I work in healthcare so any novel with a doctor in it is up my alley 🙂
Awesome review, thanks for sharing 🙂
Wow.. The cover is totally drool-worthy. I’m so buying this.
I think I’ve only read one or two romances in hospital universes but this one sounded pretty funny! I would totally read it!
This does sound cute and fun, and engaging! I know people who fawn all over even the thought of dating a doctor, including a relative who is a nurse. I’d have to say if the hunky docs like on this cover walked around shirtless, I’d want one for my boyfriend, too!
First..that cover! I would buy this book from the cover alone! I love the push and pull in a romance where there is a lot of temptation! I think I will like this doctor.
Dr. Hottie sounds like my type!
Wow! That cover is hot. Doctors like that would be too distracting for my health!
looks interesting
Never Date a Doctor sounds like a delightful read! Thanks for sharing your review and have a fantastic week!
Thank you for sharing your review of Never Date a Doctor, I like the cover and synopsis and I am looking forward to reading this story myself
