Unbuttoning the Bachelor Doc - Deanne Anders (HMED #1394 - June 2024)

Series: Nashville Midwives (Book 1)
 
MEDICS IN THE SPOTLIGHT!
 
Life has been one big bump in the road after another for midwife Skylar. After moving to Nashville for a fresh start, she immediately clashes with grumpy bachelor Dr. Jared. So she's unimpressed when they must feature together on their patient's reality TV show! On-screen, they're strictly
professional. But off camera, she discovers there's more to Jared than meets the eye. Can she convince this buttoned-up doc to let loose for once?

 
Good start to the new series. Skylar moved to Nashville for a fresh start and is settling into her role as a midwife. She is drawn to serious, uptight Jared, one of the doctors. She enjoys teasing and flirting with him, trying to get under his skin and shake him up. Jared isn't sure what to make of Skylar. Her antics stir him up, but his early life made him wary of getting involved.
 
Skylar and Jared are assigned to work together looking after a country music star during her pregnancy. This also involves participating in the star's reality show. Spending time together pulls Jared out of his comfort zone and brings his growing feelings for her to the surface.
 
I grew frustrated with Jared and how much time he spent thinking about his difficult childhood. He believes he is better off not relying on someone else. At the same time, Skylar wants to see where this connection might lead. I could feel her frustration as they moved two steps forward and one step back whenever Jared's fears got the better of him. I liked the ending and seeing Jared finally let go of those fears. His big moment to show Skylar how he felt was sweet and romantic.
 
I also enjoyed the medical aspects of the book. This line always has intriguing situations, and this was no exception.
