Publisher's summary

Darcy Silver has everything money can buy except for a way to erase the past. A tragic car accident has left her temporarily dependent on others for even the most basic of needs—but everyone she cares about seems to have abandoned her.

Dr. Andrea Trapani would like to forget the past too. Being a full-time medical caretaker for a cantankerous woman is not where she expected her career to take her. But when Andrea sees that Darcy's frustration will have serious medical consequences, she vows to bring peace and stability to Darcy's world.

As two wounded souls fight to overcome their past and face the fears of the future, will love be the right medicine?

Contains mature themes.

Well……

Definitely not as tightly woven, or as richly descriptive as other works from this author. The MC’s are rather one dimensional. My biggest peeve with this story is the Dr. tending to the intimate needs of her patient, and reminding the patient and herself that caring for these types of needs are nothing sexual in nature. What? What dr thinks they have to say that unless, that’s exactly what they’re thinking!
As the romance blossoms from these types of medical dynamics, i felt as if I was reading a “me too” book, but neither character realizing how wrong and inappropriate this was.
Instead of this one , read the Chiara Corelli series by this author. Those four books are extraordinary!

I absolutely love this story

This story, from beginning to end, kept very intrigued. I couldn't stop listening to this book. I love the whole storyline and the characters. The narrator was perfect for this story.

Not Even So-So

Darcy is reprehensible. It is almost like she has multiple personalities. She is very childish. Andrea comes across as a doormat and too soft.

The story is unbelievable.

Hard To Listen To

Only about 3 hours in and I want to launch my phone with this audible on it. The injured character is so repulsive and a brat that it's really hard to get into feeling sorry for her and wanting to see where it goes. That, and how fast things progressed between the two. Going from the author's mysteries where the characters and story were developed well from the get go to these two lacking MCs? I'll try to power through it then come back to edit this, maybe.

Painful

I hated the MC. She was such a pig and incredibly immature. I found it unrealistic as well as unbelievable that the doctor would fall for her. I forced myself to finish the book. It was well written and the narration was tolerable, and the story even had intermittent interesting bits woven in throughout. However, overall I found myself angry and rolling my eyes. Frustratingly, it could have been so much better!!!
I typically like this author and this icky book won’t keep me from purchasing others by her, but I wouldn’t recommend this one!
