I think we all have at one time or another had the Dr. fantasy. Hot, sexy and perfect with a lab coat and stethoscope. And that’s exactly what Darcy Reed finds when he wasn’t looking. Having recently come out of a bad relationship, and not having the best self-esteem, he was quite surprised when the hot, and older, doctor approaches him at a bar.
Oh the potential to be found in this story, but somehow it managed to fall a bit short for me. Somehow Darcy had been in a serious relationship with another man but was still a virgin. I found that hard to believe. And then I was a bit annoyed by the fact that every time they were together I felt that Sheridan, aka Dr. Scott, was always the one giving and saying “this is for you”, but it really didn’t feel like a two-way relationship.
Still, for a short story and leaving the actual relationship issues aside it wasn’t a bad story, it had some hot moments, even some rope play. I just wished for more of a connection and character development. That is something that I always find hard with short stories, and in this one it didn’t quite work for me.

Good review – doesn’t sound like my kind of book but I think you did a good job of pointing out the strengths and weaknesses in the story without giving away spoilers:)
I don’t know why but just bumped into your review today. I think this is a great review and i suspect Ill fall in love with this book.
