A Surgeon Got Me

Luca

De: Just Bae

Narrado por: David George

Dr. Bethany Winstead hasn't had time to sign off on love. Dr. Luca Michaelson thinks settling down is a noose. But one night in the ER might bring the love that sets them free.

Rising-star surgical resident Luca Michaelson thinks no one can ever get to his heart, content to live in the world of after-work flings and bar hopping. Until he bumps into a brunette who comes to his hospital one night assisting an severely injured patient.

Unexpected visiting surgical resident Bethany Winstead is a workaholic, totally focused on following her dreams, and has not time for the bad boys in the hospital she's worked in throughout her tenure.

But there's one who caught her attention....

Dr. Luca Michaelson, the bad boy of the ER who knows every female employee in the hospital but no one has gotten him figured out yet.

Is Dr. Winstead willing to lower her guard and listen to her first mind telling her love is here, or will her deep-rooted issues of insecurity and the potential backlash if the truth is discovered keep her from a happily-ever-after?

This is a sweet/clean bad boy medical romance with no cliffhangers and a guaranteed HEA; one way or another.

Short and sweet

Have you ever listened to a book and thought “this is moving so friggin slow”? Well, this one doesn’t. Like- there’s no phone calls with mooning over the guy to her girlfriends (it’s from the guys POV) or guys sitting around drowning their sorrows. Stuff happens but it’s written like “he spends the next week being a juice box” or “they had sex six times that week and then-“ so there’s no filler. There’s no emotional attachment but it’s still the story you want. Like an abridged version of something that could be more.

So- the roundup

Sex- side note and nothing more
Juice box guys- honestly I don’t even know
Trachea by straw just like on TV- 1. Yes, in this super short story, they found time to give someone a Trachea with a straw. Impressive.

childish tactics

Emotions, miscommunications well meaning interfering friends. and finally a leap of faith. Luca and Beth acted like little kids avoiding each other and their problems. Alls well that ends well. Good ending. The narrator was good.

Unexpected love from first sight

He is a handsome playboy who works as a surgeon in the trauma center. She is a surgeon from a different hospital. They meet by chance and have spark right away. However, they have to fight through their imaginary barriers and misunderstandings to admit to their feelings.

Overall, interesting story, good narration.

A quick but enjoyable 4.5 stars listen!

My Spoiler Free Review

What I enjoyed most about this Medical Romance novel…
Easy-to-read / Page-turner (Absorbing & quick listen) / Hospital culture / HEA

Ratings:

Story Rating: 4.5 stars!
If you like a quick dip into a medical romance, then this novella will work for you as it did for me. I listened while I hung ceiling hooks for my roommate the Sunday following Thanksgiving.

I really enjoyed getting a glimpse into hospital culture - the jargon, the dynamic between the staff on duty, learning about patient treatments and how these medical professional deal sought out physical and emotional companionship. I, for one, can't imagine dating or marrying a doctor. Their rotation schedules are insane. How any of them maintain a healthy romantic relationship with someone who isn't also a medical professional is beyond me.

Performance Rating: 5 stars!
David George has a very nice voice and great acting instincts. I'm looking forward to listening to future audiobooks narrated by him.

Overall Rating: 4.5 stars!
I liked how Dr. Luca Michaelson's instant lust at first sight attraction to Dr. Bethany Winstead set off a chain of interactions that moved him from being a bad boy, casual sex only kind of guy to a guy who could claim her as a girlfriend, previously a dirty word in a way to him. He needed someone who was his equal professionally and could inspire him to mature emotionally enough to commit to a romantic relationship.

Final Thoughts:
This is a very short novella that could be potentially lengthened but worked just fine for me as a nice palette cleanser. Sometimes I don't need all the explicit sex scenes and just want to see how a couple connects without those hot details over and over. This one hit the spot perfectly. I'd recommend it to readers who are short on time but want a quick steam-light medical romance.

Short and Sweet

I just got this story about 90 minutes ago. LOL This is a sweet story about two surgeons falling in love, a miscommunication and some immaturity. I was slightly frustrated a couple of times because the narration wasn't well edited (repeating the same thing), however David did a good job. I wouldn't consider this a 5 star book, however, I think it might be one my 72 yr old mom might enjoy since it is a clean and sweet romance.
