BLURB:
As one of the top trauma surgeons in Plenty’s ER, Dr. Taggart Hayes knows how to fix broken things—fractured legs, ruptured spleens, allergies, and traumatic brain injuries. He can put them back together good as new.
A broken heart, though? That’s a bit trickier. Especially when it’s his own.
When Tag swipes on the photo of the hot man in the dating app, he just wants a distraction from the wreck that used to be his life. A one-night stand with a safely inappropriate stranger, no names, no feelings, and no complications.
But the headless photo on the app belongs to a man who isn’t so easy to forget the next day… or the next week. And it becomes increasingly clear that Bass is neither safe nor uncomplicated. Drawn into the dark, criminal underworld his lover inhabits, Tag has to decide if the cure for his broken heart is worse than the disease.
REVIEW:
In my opinion, 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝗽𝗲’s selling point is Tag. He’s amazing: generous, kind, with a caring heart that’s gotten him in trouble more than once. The beginning of the book has Tag at a awful time in his life. He has to work with his cheating ex and his new boyfriend(both hateful douches),he’s the center of the hospital’s gossip mill and I think that the author did a wrong choice with assigning Ned as Tag’s best friend, because the man runs his mouth on everything Tag confides to him (bad, bad friend).
The one good thing Ned did, though, was insist on Tag download some hookup apps. Otherwise, the disillusioned doc would never of have met Bass and bring excitement to his life. And after one hot, passionate night together, neither of the two could stop thinking about the other.
Did I like Bass? Not really. What I mean is that he’s too jaded, too used to lying, with too many hidden agendas and with no qualms about who ends up as collateral damage of his schemes. But… I liked him with and for Tag. They share a deep connection, a need for each other that has gotten in their bloodstream and they don’t even try to deny it or fight it (at least not too much, lol).
Bass brings Tag into his dangerous bike club life and 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝗽𝗲 is not only a hot/sweet romance, but has also an action and violence filled plotline, with twists, turns and surprises. Some I saw coming, others I did not, and I was always intrigued and fascinated. Mostly, as I already said, because of Tag’s sweet, endearing personality and as I hoped, Bass’s slowly redeeming himself.
Loved it.
