Medical romance isn’t normally my favorite theme, but with J. Samam? I’m all in. Doctor Mistake is so well done and filled with unrequited love, vulnerability, sweetness, and a whole lot of steaminess. It’s absolutely not to be missed.
Carter is one of the Fritz brothers, which essentially means
he’s charming, attractive, and a gifted doctor. Grace is Carter’s little
brother’s best friend since forever, and she’s also a resident under his
supervision at the hospital. When the book begins, Grace is engaged to someone
that turns out to be not at all what she thought he was, and Carter has been
pining for her for a long time. Very soon though, Grace’s relationship status
changes unexpectedly, and Grace and Carter find themselves becoming more than
just two people who have always known one another and work together. This book
takes us from Grace being engaged to another man to Carter and Grace having a
very different relationship than what they’re used to with each other and then eventually
much more.
Grace and Carter are wonderfully constructed, and I’m in
love with these characters! Grace is so loveable and vulnerable and passionate
about her life’s work as an OBGYN, and Carter is the talented doctor whose
feelings for Grace are undeniable and so heartwarming to see coming from an
alpha-type character. Despite them always being in each other’s lives, their
new and developing relationship is navigated with so much care and sweetness
and plenty of angst, which is just fun to see unfold. I had trouble putting
this book down from the start, since their relationship had a lot of growing to
do and I needed to see how it all evolved.
The drama in this book really works, too. Sure, there’s enough
of it between Carter and Grace, but there are also external issues that
complicate their being together. For me, those added another layer of depth to
the story. Saman takes what could be a pretty cut and dry romance and weaves in
outside forces that must be dealt with together by the main characters, which
in my opinion adds to the strength of the book.
This is a thoughtfully written romance complete with all the
angst and charm you could want. This book is a must read, and I’m really
looking forward to the next book in the series.
