The cover grabbed my attention but the story kept it!
This was just hands down a good story. The storytelling was excellent, no real angst, and just enough steam. There could have been drama but I’m glad the author let Emily and Rhett be adults and rise above it.
In the end sometimes it comes down to timing. I’m glad that their clocks finally lined up!

Rhett and Emily second chance friends to lovers story, heartbreak, avoidance, and betrayal drove them apart, they now meet under stressful circumstances and they have a second chance. You will laugh but also will have you reading through the entire book in no time. Definitely a good story to read.

When a married couple decides to set up their friends on blind dates, nothing bad should happen, right? Little did Bridget and Simon from "British Bedmate" know that they knew each other and had history! What could go wrong? EVERYTHING. But Rhett doesn't pass up the chance to right the wrongs he made to Emily. The manner in which Rhett went about that was a little unconventional, but no harm, no foul. Time has passed and they've grown up.
While I read this story, I was on the verge of tears with every revelation that Rhett and Emily made. My heart! These characters were SO GOOD together and definitely belonged to each other. Kathryn Hearst did a spectacular job weaving Simon and Bridget into the story and made it a great addition to Penelope and Vi's Cocky Hero world.
I received an advanced copy of this book at my request and voluntarily left this review.

Picked up on a whim from Audible Escape and I was so surprised with how good this is! Second chance romance, Single parents, Doctor, non-profit for serious medical conditions... I just loved it so much

Rhett is the cardiologist with a broken heart and wounded soul. Emily is the girl next door and all of Rhett’s first including his first heart break.
This book was incredibly sweet. I loved the interactions between Emily and Rhett. Their reconnect scene at the beginning of the book is every blind date/set up gone bad. Rhett doesn’t recognize Emily and instead mistakes her as the waitress! He is stepping in it left and right with her. Rhett tries to make up ground and reconnect with Emily but before he even has his chance, his crazy ex wife makes an appearance. She is the whole reason Rhett broke her heart a decade ago.
I don’t always love second chance romances but this one was well done. Youth and bad decisions can only allow for so much leniency and forgiveness, but I don’t think Emily and Rhett are completely to blame for how things ended the first time. I love the addition of their mothers and Emily’s daughter Zoe and their patient Paola.
I really enjoyed the story immensely. It was nice to revisit Simon and Bridget from the British Bedmate. I have loved these worlds and characters that Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward have inspired. This was a 4/5 read for me.

Doctor Heartbreaker ended up giving me more than I’d initially anticipated. In fact, the more I read the more I got from it. Not only did I fall deeper and deeper for the characters, but the emotion of this one hit hard.
In truth, I expected this to be a rather predictable second chance romance. Although it had all the elements you would expect from such a story, it also contained plenty to make it stand out. It was packed with details that had me falling for the characters and the story, with the details ensuring I could not put this one down. It wrapped around me, and I did not want to let go.
All in all, there was so much more to this one than I’d thought, and I loved it.

This was such a sweet second chance romance. Rhett and Emily grew up as BFFs that turned to more. But then things changed and they were driven apart. Years later their paths cross on a blind date and they end up getting a second chance. That is a very oversimplified plot summary. There is so much else going on with Paola and her heart condition (the child Emily brought from Colombia that needs a lifesaving surgery performed by Rhett) all kind is drainage/ trouble from Rhetts Ex and a set of meddling mothers pushing them together. And that ending was perfect, So sweet I couldn’t ask for more.
