A review by thebritishbibliophile
Doctor Mistake, by J. Saman
4.0
'A thrilling insight into a world of red-tape and regulation, toeing the line between temptation and professionalism. A captivating read that is certainly not a mistake . Paging all good readers, the doctor will see you now
Thank you to Greys Promotions for sending me an ebook Advanced Reader's Copy for me to read and review. Here is my honest review of Doctor Mistake.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Well, where do I start with this novel? I initially picked it up because I'm a sucker for the 'accidental pregnancy' trope, it's always a fun time to see how that accidental pregnancy came to be, and its been the longest time since I've read a novel within the medical field so...putting those two together, I had a feeling that this was going to be a story that I knew I was going to enjoy before I even turned the first page.
It was a while before that particular trope turned up, but that only gave way to the story developing before that pivotal moment happened.
Creative liberty was pushed to the max with Doctor Mistake--in a good way, of course--, as with the beauty of fiction, it can be twisted and tailored to how the author wants the story to go. This is what has been done by J.Saman here. Without dipping into the tempting pool of spoilers, you'll know the moments when reading them, where those self-same moments can only be allowed within the confines of a fiction novel. I can't imagine intimate moments of any kind would be acceptable in the real world, but I thoroughly enjoyed--and bit my lip at several occasions--when these taboo moments happened and applauded J.Saman for including them.
Sometimes it's a good thing, more than a good thing, to taste the forbidden fruit.
Now, for something new that I don't usually include in reviews. A spoiler-free rating system!
Romance: 7.5/10
Suspense: 8.5/10
Romantic suspense: 8/10
Steaminess: 8/10
Angst: 9.5/10
Gripping storyline: 9.5/10
Ta-da!
Overall for my first J.Saman read, I'm really pleased that this was such a gripping read--with me finishing it in under 24 hours--, I'm able to leave a glowing review and would recommend this novel to anyone looking to sink their teeth into what could be their next favourite read.
I would willingly jump back into this series and the world J.Saman has created for it and its characters. Without a doubt.
4.5/5 stars!
