Publisher's summary

It’s nothing but a casual hookup. Temporary, with no strings attached. It’ll be over in a few weeks, and we’ll go our separate ways. What could go wrong?

Jessa

Have you ever wished you could turn back time and do things differently? Like that one time you decided to use your ratty bra as a weapon and almost took out the eye of your dad’s hot doctor? Yeah? Me, too.

But my nylon ninja skills must’ve impressed him, because he kept coming around, heating my blood with those tight jeans and sexy smiles.

As hard as I tried, I couldn’t resist him. So I decided to make a deal. A few weeks of fun, then we’d go our separate ways.

Rafe

My life was perfect - just the way I wanted it. Or at least it was until the day I met Jessa Maddox.

Beautiful and feisty, I couldn’t get her out of my head, and I kept making excuses just to be near her.

When neither of us could deny our attraction for another moment, we made a bargain.

No strings. No commitments. Just a cool and casual fling that would run its course before Jessa headed back home and out of my life, for good.

It was the perfect situation...until it wasn’t.

And I needed to figure out what I really wanted, because Jessa Maddox was no “here today, gone tomorrow” hookup.

She was just what the doctor ordered.

Playing with the Doctor is Book One in the Milestone Mischief Series. It is a hot stand-alone novel with no cliffhanger.

Going on my favorites list!

This is such a good story! I loved all the antics, family/friends conversations and all the amazing characters! The two main characters are a treat. I easily enjoyed listening to them and their inner thoughts. Their friends and family are adorable. This whole story made me laugh and smile.

I did listen to this on audio. Blake Lockheart and Lee Daniels are both new to me. They did a great job and made the characters come alive. This is one to listen to over and over. I eagerly look forward to the next in the series.

Fun listen!!

Looking for a funny, easy, romantic listen? I have it right here for you! Playing With the Doctor is exactly what you are looking for. Jessa is going home. Her father is sick and she wants to be there with him. What she doesn't expect to see is doctor making house calls! Rafe is the one that in school took no notice of Jessa, and now he is in her parent's living room! The one you quietly wish for! And he keeps coming back, even though her father is doing better. There is something about Jessa that Rafe cannot get off his mind. When the two finally give in and decide to give in to their lust while Jessa is there, it is explosive. But we know how feelings grow. These two are both carry a set of baggage though, and can't get out of their own way, let alone have a relationship. Or can they? Funny, great characters, family, , passion, healing, it's all there in this story that will give you that all around feel good warmth. I enjoyed this story and can't wait for Nate and Ivy next!

Blake Lockheart and Lee Daniels are fantastic narrators and together they bring out the best in this story. Each with their own voices, the personalities and feelings are given to us. The comedic timing is spot on and their performance will make your heart soar. Get ready for a good listen!

A Wonderfully Heartfelt Romance~Awesome Narration!

I enjoyed this fabulously heartfelt and delightful book immensely, it grabbed my attention right from the start and captivated it the entire time. It is my first book written by Piper James, she is a gifted author with a wonderful writing style, the characters and storylines she created are original and interesting. The characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with, they were easy to care about too. I adored both lead characters, Jessa Maddox and Rafe Walton, each broken in their own way and battle with their own issues and demons from the past. Jessa returns home to tend to her sick father, she was not expecting his Doctor to be at the house, their first meeting was a funny and memorable one. She remembered Rafe from school, it disappointed her he had not remembered her. Despite that, she found herself attracted to him and he to her, the chemistry between them was sizzling, but neither was looking for a relationship. They could only deny each other for so long, and they agreed to enjoy each other’s company while she was in town. All that was fine and dandy until their own insecurities and feelings got in their way. I loved how everything played out in this book, the story was light on angst and there was a perfect balance of drama, humor, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. The lighthearted and humorous moments countered the heavier ones nicely. Piper James, thank you for this enjoyable and entertaining romance novel and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, Lee Daniels and Blake Lockheart are the perfect cast to bring these characters to life. They had a complete understanding of the characters they portrayed, giving each a voice that is the perfect fit for their character’s persona, sounding believable in the role they play and just as I pictured the character to sound. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the character’s emotions and projected them into their performance. These two are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fabulous listen!

Thank you @PinkFlamingoProductions @AudiobookObsession TheFlock AudiobookObsessionReviewer🎧

Finding the one

When Jesse gets a phone call that her dad is sick she drops everything to take care of him. Rafe is the doctor whom treated her father in the ER and he continues to look after his patients after they leave the hospital by making house calls. Rage and Jessa’s first meeting they have chemistry but both are shy about showing feelings. This story is about two people finding themselves in each other. They were not expecting to fall in love but it happened. Great narration and the start to a series that I am looking forward to continuing.

When Feelings Get Involved

Title: Playing with the Doctor
Author: Piper James
Format: Audio
Narrators: Lee Daniels, Blake Lockheart
Genre: Romantic comedy, small town, FWB
Standalone: Yes
Part of a Series: Book 1 in Milestone Mischief
POV: Jessa and Rafe
Steam Level: Slow burn to toasty
4/5

Playing with the Doctor is (I think) the first book I've read by Piper James. I liked that it was both funny but also dealt with some strong emotional baggage. This baggage created both Rafe and Jessa's aversions to relationships. But it wasn't overly dramatic, which was nice. I dipped in and out of this story with no difficulties remembering what had happened. I definitely want to check out more of this series and this author.

I received this audiobook for free from Audiobook Obsession and Pink Flamingo Productions. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Sweet, hot, and beautifully performed!

I adored this book. It was beautifully written, the characters were wonderful, and the heat was off the charts awesome. I loved the injection of a bit of humor throughout as well. This was my first Blake Lockheart listen but will definitely not be my last. He is a brilliant narrator! He compliments Lee so well and they were a great duo for this book. Can't wait for more from this series and author!!

Fun story of finding love

This was a fun book about learning to let your heart love again.

Jessa keeps her heart guarded after her mother abandoned her and her father years ago. She has never really felt like she fit in or wanted to risk her heart to make friends or have a relationship. When she goes back home and runs into a hot doctor who she was in school with she starts to wish for those relationships she never thought she wanted.

Rafe has always been the one to take care of others or at least he has for years now. He hasn't wanted to take time to care beyond the casual though as far as relationships were concerned. That is until he sees Jessa and he starts to want more than he ever thought possible.

Great characters and good story and I enjoyed listening.

Blake Lockheart andLee Daniels were really good. It was my first time listening to either but I really enjoyed their voices and their timing was good and they brought this story to life.


I received a copy of this book to listen and review with my honest opinion. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it.

The Heart Wants What it Wants

Jessa goes back home to take care of her dad and help out with his bar. what she didn't expect was to fall for his Dr. Rafe Walton. She knew and had a crush on Rafe when she was in high school, Rafe had no clue who she was.
I loved how Jessa learned to have friendships and how to open her heart during her trip home. I also loved some of the mishaps that happened to her and Rafe during their non relationship.
