Bedside Manner

The St. Jude's Medical Series, Book 1

By: C.G. Macington

Narrated by: Ellis Evans, Eddie Herrera

An enemies-to-lovers MM medical romance where opposites attract… and combustion is inevitable.

Dr. Maxwell York has a protocol for everything. As Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Max is a man of precision. He likes his coffee at exactly 180 degrees, his office silent, and his life sterile. They call him the "Ice King," and he has no intention of melting.

Dr. Jax O'Connell is a disaster waiting to happen. The Head of Trauma is Max's exact opposite. A former combat surgeon who drives a mud-splattered Jeep, blasts AC/DC in the OR, and treats rules as mild suggestions. To Jax, medicine is warfare, and he's the "Trauma Cowboy" leading the charge.

Oil, meet water. When a hospital merger forces their departments together, Max and Jax are shoved into a shared office. A single strip of blue painter's tape on the floor is the only thing separating Max's pristine order from Jax's beautiful chaos.

Max wants him gone. Jax wants to see exactly how far he can push before the Ice King cracks.

But as the pressure mounts, the friction between them sparks into something neither can control. Max is realizing that chaos might be the one thing his life has been missing. And Jax? He's discovering that the Ice King burns hotter than anyone he's ever known.

Sometimes the only cure is a little... Bedside Manner.

A laugh-out-loud romantic comedy with serious heat. Perfect for those who love sharp banter, slow-burn tension, and two stubborn doctors who are the last to realize what everyone else already sees.

Great Medical MM Romance!

Lots of medical drama and a great romance storyline! I was very impressed with how well both narrators did with all the medical terminology! Looking forward to book two.

Brilliant

Holy Crap! I adore the series and this audio cranked it up about 10 notches. The two narrators to the author's word and created magic. Max and Jax were exactly how they should be and the slow burn, high heat and all the crashes in between are brought to life where you can feel the moment. If you have not caught up on reading about St. Jude then I highly recommend because the audio will blow you away. Every intake of breathe, every pause, every release, every time someone is thinking you can feel it, it amplifies the story in a way I didn't think possible. Make sure you add this to your Wishlist or buy it today because it's so worth it!

ELLIS EVANS!!!!!

Ellis Ellis Ellis. I will follow you wherever you go. I will cross genres for your narration. It is perfection. Chefs kiss.

Ok the story. I really loved this book. It was balanced spice comedy some angst moments. Overall a pleasant entertaining experience. I’m always anxious to move on to the next story in a series. I hope it’s a continuation and not a stand alone. I really love these characters.

What a great read!

I just can’t believe how much I enjoyed this story! I laughed out loud in places and felt the warmth of true love throughout. This is the first I’ve read by Macington, but it won’t be my last.

I couldn’t be happier !!

This was my first book from
This author and OMG I will be listening to all of them if they keep up with good narrators.
The storyline is exceptional, it’s so rare that I like both MCs but I adored these guys. Such a great storyline and drama and humor I did more than one spit take !
