Publisher's Summary
A lesbian medical romance about the powerful breakthroughs we can't always see.
Nadia Keating has barely started her cardiothoracic fellowship training, but she already has the archetype nailed - she's direct, uncompromising, and suffering from a God complex.
Before she can focus on her impressive research, deeply closeted Nadia has a personal project: getting her inconvenient attraction to women out of her system. She picks a stranger online for a one-night stand.
Ashley Rylan, the chief of Nadia's department, is her polar opposite - sweet, agreeable, and soft-spoken - and the stranger Nadia unwittingly chooses.
The two women's meeting is a hostile disaster, and they would love nothing more than to never see each other again. However, their paths keep colliding as Nadia embarks on an ambitious experiment that could lead to a historic medical breakthrough.
Despite warring egos and the secrets they keep, their connection is powerful and growing. Maybe having sex would help them get over their distraction at work? Or would that just ruin everything?
Contains mature themes.

Engaging!
Overall I enjoyed the book though a good editor would have " killed some darlings" that slowed down the story. MCs were interesting and the chemistry sizzling! I hope there are more titles by this author.

Classic hospital romance
I wished there was a bit more romance but this ticked the boxes, drama, surgery and eventually love. I would have loved to see Nadia soften a little more. This story reminded me of 'Who'd have thought' (worth a listen) emotionally cold and standoffish character grows on you once you get to know them and their nuanced sense of humor and way they see the world. Meets bubbly, happy, go lucky character. Opposites attract. While I feel the story is focused more on the medicine than the romance you do learn what makes the characters who they are because of it. I would say worth a listen but not in my top 10. Abby Craden is god.

The story was not great
Abby Craden did a great job as she always does with all her performances.
I really enjoy medical Lesfics, but this one was a little boring in parts. Especially when Nadia goes into deep explanations on the books she reads and procedures in the operating room. Its not that I don't enjoy the intricate medical knowledge, but I dont really want to hear about it unless the patient they are operating on is part of the story.
I enjoyed Nadia and Ashleys development. But their first intimate scene felt forced and unbelievable. Nadia is hard to like throughout the book, she is mostly rude and cold to the people around her, including Ashley which made it hard for me to invest in their relationship.
Eventually Nadia does thaw, and I enjoyed that part, but it was dragged on for too long and I felt that Nadia was still hard to like even when she became fully invested in Ashley.
Abbys narration and the promise for Nadia and Ashley figuring out how to be together kept me listening but I very almost gave up.
