Keep your career, or keep your love… Who’s capable of making that choice?
Steve’s spent his entire life trying to placate his demanding mother. From the schools he attended, to the career he chose, everything has been about avoiding those needle-sharp comments of hers that look so innocuous on the surface, and cut so deep beneath. He never goes to see her without someone to help deflect those poisoned barbs. So when he’s dumped right before his sister’s wedding, he needs a new date, fast. And just about anyone will do.
Ned’s an alpha who doesn’t care what other people think. Impressed by the skill of the surgical nurses he saw in college, he becomes one himself, determined to make certain that no surgeon ever lacks the support they need in this most important of professions. It’s only a half a step further to agree to accompany his friend’s hot surgeon buddy to an event that is absolutely for sure going to be both tense and unpleasant. And when he meets the handsome omega surgeon, any doubts he might have had are laid to rest–this is a man in need of looking after.
But protecting Steve from his mother’s verbal onslaught is nothing compared to the fight before them. Overcome by desire, they wind up pregnant, something that would ruin both their careers if the hospital found out. Which is just the weapon Steve’s mother needs to tear them apart…
Omega’s Doctor is over 38,000 words with a HEA, ducky umbrella and three weddings.
REVIEW:
I am slightly confused with this title. The Omega is a doctor/surgeon and his Alpha is a surgical nurse. So how is it titled “Omega’s Doctor?
Steve has RSVP’d that he would have a “plus 1” at his sister’s wedding. Now he has been dumped and doesn’t have a date. Then Penny, his close friend, comes to the rescue with Ned. Ned owes Penny BIG TIME after the mess he made and almost ruined David and Henry’s chance at happiness. Ned is thankful he showed up to help the gorgeous doctor out. After witnessing the verbal abuse that both his sister and mother threw at Steve he knew he had to get the poor guy away from them. After a rather satisfying rest of the weekend these two knew that there was more fun to come since they connected so wonderfully. Then they discover that they not only work at the same hospital but Ned is now on Steve’s surgery team. Next they discover there is a “no dating” clause that might end them before they really get a chance to see where things are going.
While I liked their story, I didn’t connect with them as much as characters in the other books in this series that I have read. I don’t know if it is because of Ned and my lingering annoyance with him over almost ruining David and Henry’s relationship. What I did appreciate was the author bringing to light the difficulties that partners have with the medical HEPA laws when they aren’t married. You would think that picking up a prescription for your mate at the pharmacy at the hospital they both work at wouldn’t be as much of a problem as it was.
Although it isn’t imperative, I highly recommend reading this series in order. There are several characters that reappear and there are references to past predicaments that make more sense if read in order.
