The Good Doctor: An addictive and gripping psychological thriller with a killer twist

 

I finally have everything I’ve ever wanted: a career saving lives, my dream home among the pines, and my caring fiancé, Elton. He doesn’t know about my past. And I’ll do anything to keep it that way…
I’m so excited for my life with Elton—we’ve even discussed which room would make the perfect nursery. And we’re working together in our new jobs in the ICU at Portland General hospital.
But when I walk in on my first day, I see my ex-husband Jameson. His familiar broad shoulders are unmistakable in his white doctor’s coat. The shock knocks the air from my lungs.
I’m thrown back to the moment Jameson and I gathered around that hospital bed as the steady beeping on the monitor slowed.
We did something unforgivable that day.
And for the first time, I saw who Jameson truly was.
The truth scared me more than I can explain.
So I ran.
If Jameson tells Elton what I did, I’ll lose everything. Will he destroy my new, perfect life? Is he still a danger to the innocent patients all around us? And how far will I have to go to stop him?
The Good Doctor is a totally twisty, rollercoaster ride of a psychological thriller that will have you glued to the pages late into the night. Fans of Freida McFadden, My Lovely Wife and The Couple Next Door will love it!

Review By

Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews 

First, I want to thank Jessica Payne and Bookouture for providing me with the book so I can bring you this review.

O.M.G!! I am a HUGE fan of Medical Psychological Thrillers and OMG Jessica Payne The Good Doctor is my favorite in this genre!! If I could give this book 100 stars I did! I am totally in love with this book!! It is intense, suspenseful, jaw dropping, mind blowing, nail biting, totally twisted and even educational! I loved this book and could not get enough!!

It is totally appreciated that Jessica was upfront and honest about the trigger warnings in this book! Many authors don’t address their triggers. 

As stated earlier I am a huge fan of this genre! As a former Medical Office Assistant and Medical Assistant I totally loved everything about this book. Not only that but I was able to understand what was going on in the book. What I really loved is even if you are not medical savvy Chloe educates her readers of what the medical terms are. 

The Good Doctor touches on a very controversial topic that no author has ever touched! It was one of the aspects that drew me in! I am dying to know where Jessica got the inspiration for this book! 

Oh Snap I would NEVER EVER want Jamison as my Doctor!! I would totally run far away from the hospital! Ohh he was super evil and creepy!! 

There are so many moments in this book where I was totally stunned, shocked, my jaw wide open speechless! Never ever in my career as a book reviewer has a book totally engulfed me into a story! 

OMG I LOVED Chloe’s character!! She was one strong cookie for so many many reasons!! 

This is one book that NEEDS to be a Netflix series ASAP!! It is a show that I would totally binge watch!

My French Wedding Date: from enemies-to-lovers…
 
The steamy and addictive enemies-to-lovers romcom that you won’t want to miss!

MELODY
The last man I want to be stranded with on the way to my best friend’s wedding in Provence is her annoying brother: personal trainer Nate.

But thanks to an epic storm, I’m stuck in a hotel room with the most arrogant man on the planet.

And there’s only one bed.

I should hate him. Especially given our history. But with his gorgeous brown eyes, panty-melting smile and muscular body, Nate’s hotness is undeniable.

After getting my heart broken, I’m supposed to avoid bad boys like him and set an example to my daughter by looking for a real relationship.

But the more time we spend together as we race to the South of France, the sweeter he is to me, and I start to realise there’s more to Nate than meets the eye.

Which only makes him harder to resist…

NATE
If I’d known the owner of that fine arse was my sister’s irritating best friend Melody, I would’ve kept on walking.

And I wouldn’t have missed the last flight to France.

Now we’re battling to make it to the chateau. And I’m fighting to get Melody’s perfect fire-engine-red lips and smoking hot curves out of my head.

The attraction between us is electric. But Melody’s looking for the fairy tale. And I can’t do that serious relationship stuff again. Not after last time.

I should stay away.

Trouble is, the more I discover how strong and badass she is, the more I crave her…

My French Wedding Date is a steamy, enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, best friend’s brother, reverse age-gap, single mum, dual POV romcom. Gorgeous happily-ever-after guaranteed!

Read as a standalone novel or as book five in the My Ten-Year Crush series. 

All books in the series are available to read in Kindle Unlimited. Book one (My Ten-Year Crush) is also currently part of Prime Reading (UK).

About Me

Hi there! Very nice to meet you.

Whilst I love every second of penning my novels, writing about myself isn’t so easy... Where to begin?

Okay, so I’m a forty-something Londoner who loves cake and has always had a burning desire to write a novel. But it wasn’t until January 2016 that I was driven to take the leap. A close friend suddenly passed away and realising that life was too short not to start pursuing my dream, I set myself a goal to become a published author. Two and a half years (plus bucket loads of blood, sweat and tears) later in July 2018, my first-ever shiny book, The Middle-Aged Virgin became available on Amazon. It was definitely a pinch-me-is-it-real moment!

Seven months later in February 2019, I published my second novel Only When It’s Love to rave reviews (read more here). My third book Losing My Inhibitions was released in June 2019 and novel number four, Love Offline followed in November 2019.

I write under the pen name Olivia Spring to spare the blushes of those who know me and may read the racy sex scenes included in my books. Becoming an author has always been a lifelong dream and as writing is now my full-time focus, I am finally fortunate enough to call my passion my career. That means I get to spend my days sitting at my desk or in the park (and occasionally, if I’m really lucky, on a nice Mediterranean beach!), creating cool characters and stories to share with you.

Thanks for your support. Words can’t describe how much I appreciate you buying my books and sending me lovely messages and emails letting me know how much you’ve enjoyed reading my novels. It’s because of you that I am able to do what I love for a living and for that I am eternally grateful.

Look out for more novels coming very soon…

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Olivia Spring for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review!

WOW!!! I just loved reading Melody’s and Nate’s story in Olivia Spring’s My French Wedding Date! This is her 5th book in the My Ten-Year Crush series. However, even though My French Wedding Date can be read as a standalone I highly suggest you read the whole series. This way you will get a better idea of their back story to where this story led up to. Trust me the whole series is a great one! 

As with all of the books in her series you will be rolling on the floor laughing your booty off! At least I couldn’t stop laughing!

Ohh the sexual tension between Melody and Nate was incredibly intense!! It kept the story very exciting for so many reasons! Oh you will have a Koolaid grin on your face throughout this fun and easy read It was just what the Doctor ordered recovering from a kidney stone procedure!

The main mystery in this book was would these two get to the wedding in time! So many obstacles they faced just getting there!

EXCERPT:

After three hours on the road, we make a pitstop.

“At last!” he blurts, getting out of the car.

Then, I notice something I shouldn’t have. My hitchhiker stands with a slight groan, hand pressed against his right side. And as he stands, he reveals the inside of his jacket, and there it is—a shiny gun sitting in his pocket. My paranoid thoughts aren’t so paranoid after all.

It’s not rocket science to figure out where this equation leads. Nobody carries that kind of gun unless they are a criminal.

I’m going to die, sliced up by a crazy hitchhiker.

Can I handle this?

But then again, he’s hurt. Maybe he’s losing blood; maybe his life is in danger.

And mine?

He enters the convenience store. It’s almost comical; the way he walks, like he’s invincible. Professional criminal, tough as nails. And here I am, professionally screwed.

I imagine what they’ll say on the six o’clock news: “A young woman was found sliced up so her killer could make a house of cards out of the pieces…”

I can’t take my eyes off his form. The man stands tall, arrogant, his badass attitude taped to his face. He feels nothing.

Although, his eyes are more narrowed than before. He’s a human being. A wounded human being and I’m a nurse.

I fill up the car while chewing on my bottom lip. He heads toward the back of the building. My heart is pounding, unsure of what might happen next. I might have made a huge mistake. The options before me are unappealing—leave him there, join him, or wait for him to come back and pretend nothing’s wrong. I finish filling the gas tank and pay, trying my best to appear normal. The store is dimly lit and eerily quiet, adding to my growing uneasiness. A knot forms in my stomach as I push the door open, my heart trying to spread my ribs apart.

My eyes dart back and forth as I scan the aisles frantically, grabbing snacks and drinks, not knowing what the road ahead has in store.

As I approach the exit, my heart is in my throat. I can’t catch my breath, and I only hear an irregular heartbeat in my ears.

Shit, I’m having a panic attack.

Time slows as my legs weaken, and unwanted sweat rolls down my neck. My sweaty palms land on the door, but the ground drops from under me. My vision blurs, and I can’t breathe.

I can’t breathe. I’m going to pass out. Shit.

My phone’s ringtone blares. I don’t recognize the number.

“Yes,” I answer, my voice barely above a whisper.

An old voice comes through the line. I don’t recognize that, either.

“If you value your life, you’ll leave him,” the voice growls.

I glare at my phone.

I don’t even know if my life has any value at all.

“You have a few seconds to leave, Miss Milosh.”

The call disconnects, and my eyes flutter to my phone as it chimes again. Another ring announces an incoming text message, but I ignore it. I know what I need to do. I steel myself for the task ahead, fully aware I’m going to tread dangerous waters. One stop to grab my first aid box, and I’m thrilled.

Author Bio:

I'm Elsa Jacobs, indie author of contemporary romance from sweet and seductive to dark and gritty. All levels of steam.

A few years ago, I found myself obsessed with a bunch of characters and plots, swirling madness in my mind. The only reasonable cure was to write them all. In less than a year, I had written four draft. I had no intention of publishing because fear held me back, and I put them aside, unsure if they were worth sharing with the world.

Years passed, and I finally mustered the courage to read one of my drafts and spoke to an editor, sending them a chapter. The wait for their response was nerve-wracking.

But, as you can imagine, that one chapter led me on a journey that brought me here. And the story is about to be legendary.

My debut novel, Tale of an Anxious Heart, is a fast-paced and thrilling ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat with its twists and turns. This contemporary medium spice read is not your typical romance, featuring morally gray characters and a steamy, possessive alpha male hero who will leave you breathless.

But don't be fooled by the conventional tropes – My strong female hero is more than capable of holding her own and conquering inner demons as she embarks on a road trip that will change her life forever. Pick up Tale of an Anxious Heart today and discover why it can be challenging to pick up a hitchhiker...

I could not stop smiling throughout this book! Not to mention there were some scenes where I was just laughing out loud at. I could see why they went there but omg it was too funny!! I can see other little kids wanting to try to help.

It was too cute in the one picture where Anna was holding up her last book and Aiden in the next scene reading it. I thought that was very clever!

EXCERPT:

Her mind filled with thoughts, and scents, and images of this man, of Zack. She welcomed the hungry nature of his kiss and the hard strength of his body, and she wanted more.

Without breaking the kiss, she slid her hands down his chisel chest and tugged at the navy material of his T-shirt until it came free from the waistband of his jeans. Greedily, she slipped one hand inside and she groaned at the hard heat that flexed beneath her fingers. Needing to touch him, to see him, Izabel sat back and jerk the rest of his shirt from his jeans. Frantically, she pulled and pushed it upward until Zack lifted his arms and allowed her to haul the shirt over his head.

She couldn’t seem to catch her breath. The masculine beauty she’d unveiled sucked it all from her chest as her eyes took in every work-hardened crest and valley of his well-built body. The breadth of his shoulders, the thick layers of muscle that made them and his brawny arms bulge and flex when he moved. The perfect plane of his pecs and the ridges of his belly. Her nails rasped over the dusting of dark, curling hair on his chest, her fingers following its path as it narrowed into a line that disappeared under his jeans.

“Izabel?”

She looked up, startled by the strangled sound of his voice. His cheeks were flushed as his breath heaved in through parted lips, and his soulful whiskey eyes were hooded and full of passion as he stared back at her.

“You are gorgeous, Zack.”

He smiled, but when she swiveled and got to her feet, apprehension filled his face. “What are you doing?”

Reaching for the closure of her jeans, her mouth curled suggestively as she popped the button and slowly lowered the zipper.

Zack’s lips tipped up at the corners and appreciation washed over his expression.

Once she’d shed the jeans, Izabel crawled back onto his lap, but straddled his legs this time.

“Did you think I was going to leave?” she asked, flicking her nails over his nipples. Her grin grew when he sucked in a breath and his eyelids closed briefly. When they opened, he cupped her butt cheeks in each of his huge hands and drew her against the large bulge in his jeans.

“I thought so, yes.” He ducked his head and his lips found her neck. “I thought you might leave me with this,” he said as he lifted his hips and pressed himself against her core.

She moaned as he nibbled the tender column of her throat, drawing gasps of pleasure from her. When he found a sensitive spot at the base of her neck, a sharp pang of desire shot through her belly. Lust electrified her, zapping along nerve endings and driving her need for him…for Zack.

“What do you want, Izabel?” His voice sounded rough against her skin. “Tell me what you need.”

“You, Zack. I need you,” she gasped. “I want to see you. I want to feel your skin on mine. I want you to make love to me. Right now!” She reached for her blouse and quickly unbuttoned the first two buttons, but frustrated with how long it took, she reached down and yanked it over her head.

Zack’s passion-filled eyes had followed her movement, but now she sat back and watched as his gaze devoured her. From the disarray of her curly hair to her small breasts and down to the plain white bikini underwear she wore, he soaked it all in as his chest rose with each rapid breath. Slowly, almost reverently, he traced the gentle swell of her breasts above the lace edge of her bra with his fingertips. The touch sent a shiver through her body as need pulsed hot and wet between her thighs.

“Oh, God, Zack,” she cried, the ache from his simple touch so acute, she had to grip his shoulders to keep from tumbling to the ground. Her head dropped back onto her neck and she sighed. “What you do to me…”

“Tell me, goddess,” he said with a throaty growl as his hands bracketed her face and pulled her in for another soul-melting kiss.

“You’ve lit a fire inside me,” she said when he let her up for air. “You give me strength when I feel week. You make me feel strong and beautiful and wanted. You make me want…more.”
