Brandon Dalton, MD is not usually a tongue-tied idiot. Unless he is face to face with Gen Downey, his next door neighbor. Every time he runs into her in the hallway, he is struck dumb. That is, until he mistakenly opens her mail and discovers she writes sexy historical romances. Suddenly Brandon is determined to capture Gen’s interest. And a power outage provides the perfect opportunity. Gen Downey can’t believe her dream guy is kissing and fondling her. The same man who she uses as the hero in her romance books. But how will he feel when he discovers she’s all talk with no experience? The Doctor Next Door by Catherine Berlin has it all! It’ll make you smile, keep your interest and make you sigh in the end! Blossoming romances just do it for me. I love it when best friends or in this case neighbors fall in love. Catherine Berlin uses classic settings such as a power outage, injuries, and stalkers. Her use of these is not overdone, but rather lends to the overall story. The sex is explicit and wonderfully incorporated into this story. Brandon is determined to demonstrate all his qualities both in and out of the bed. Gen may not have any sexual experience, but her imagination more than makes up for it. Another great aspect of this book was the suspenseful moments. Gen decides to take an evening class and ends up in some pretty tense situations. Catherine Berlin did a wonderful job incorporating this into the story. I especially loved how Gen doesn’t play the victim, but rather an empowered woman. Of course Brandon gets his moments too, but I’ll let you read the book to find out more. I loved every aspect of The Doctor Next Door by Catherine Berlin. It has all the elements of a neighbor romance and best of all it is written into a believable, romantic suspense story! This book gets 5 Klovers!Reviewed by Tina |
