What's happens when you have you life all planned out and have the person you want to spend the rest of life with, but in an instant it's ripped right from you. That's what Maddox experiences. He's on the road to becoming a doctor and fallen in love with his roommate just to have a monster of a human being rip it away from him. Life has kicked Maddox in the butt, but he has Jaris in his corner. They have their work cut for them because Maddox doesn't want to bring Jaris down with him. Good chemistry between the characters. This is MM book. I really like this series and getting to revisit characters from the previous books. Looking forward to the next one.

4.5 Stars for another great book from Kris Cook I loved the ending of this one which was just a perfect finish. Maddox was in the first year of studying to be a Doctor, looking for a flat before classes started was tough but being at the right place at the right time helped with that. A party at the Mockingbird Place was where he met Jaris, he too was looking for a place and was also becoming a Doctor fortunately unit H was available. The two got along fantastically and is wasn't long before they where in love. The first day in classes did not go so well for Maddox and a chain of events where already in motion.. No I'm not telling but its a fantastic story to read. Maddox was loosing hope and a friend came along just when he needed help. Set in two time frames to become a brilliant story of Hope being the theme..

Jaris has had only one love of his life and he refuses to give up on him...even if he is in jail for a crime he didn't commit. He is shocked when he gets a call from that very man asking him to come visit his sick mother.
Maddox wanted to sever all ties from Jaris, but when his sick mother asked him to call, he had no choice. Whatever happens, he cannot let his walls down around Jaris because Jaris deserves better than him. Yes, he was sent to jail. No, he didn't do it, but proving it will be next to impossible, and he no longer believes in faith or hope. Or so he says.
I liked this one, but it did flip between past and present and sometimes the transitions were not as smooth as it could be. I kind of believe it was the word count and trying to keep it novella length. It did have a good story and progression, and it also has the instalove. Some parts of the story were rushed and not as developed as I would have liked, but overall, it was still enjoyable. 3.5, but leaning towards 4 stars.

Maddox and Jaris falling in love with each other a few days after meeting one another was pretty much a case of insta-love and I honestly felt as if there really wasn't really much of a reason for them to have fallen for one another that quickly. Thankfully, one heck of a major wrench was thrown in whatever plans they had for a fantastical happily-ever-after and that's where the story got interesting. They were both eighteen when they met and I think the six years apart from each other made them see their relationship from two very different perspectives. When they did see each other again, though, I wanted more of a hashing out and the reunion felt rushed. Both the story itself both Jaris and Maddox were okay, but a bit more development and conflict between the two men would have been good. 3.5 stars for The Doctor in Unit H. ♥

A Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words Review An Alisa Review:
Rating: 4 stars out of 5
This is the second book I read in the series and just like the first you can feel the love that all the residents have for each other and how much they will support those around them. Maddox doesn’t believe he is worth the love and support after he is attacked and wrongfully accused and convicted. Even though bad things have happened and a lot of time has passed Jaris is determined to convince him that he worthy.
We see this story from Maddox’s point of view. Maddox is torn between wanting to please his mom and keeping himself away from Jaris. I could feel how desperate Maddox was to keep Jaris safe and not cause him any harm, but how much he still longed for their connection. Even though you see how everything affected Maddox and what he went through the story is still pretty uplifting and is happy.
The cover art is catches your eye and follows the pattern for the series.
